Didn’t he say after TJD and race moved on we would see a more perimeter oriented team? Even when given the opportunity we haven’t seen it. That’s why I’m skeptical things will change next year even if we’re supposedly gonna hit the portal hard.

I don’t understand why we are doubling down on using two bigs at a time

Exactly what I thought

Gallo… dude shows heart

I’m not sure why we aren’t fronting Edey

How about 5 points in 60 seconds?

Easy enough right? God I hate purdue

… if we wanna win by less than 20 lol

Unbelievable

You’d think Edey was a f’n princess the way the refs protect him

I had a dream it was 88-86 PU in OT. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

I thought Mgbako did decent on defense but I didn’t make it a focus to watch him. Overall he still needs to continue to improve on that end though. Agree with you on Ware getting stronger and Mgbako getting us started early. Something that I find a little strange… several games now we have had 2-3 threes at the beginning of the game and then we seem to shy away from it the rest of the game. Auburn and Minnesota are the two I can think off at the top of my head. Not saying we need to shoot 20 a game, just an interesting observation of mine. I think it has to do with us scripting the first several possessions of the game if I had to guess.

I have no interest at all… it is an IU board after all

It hurts us that he’s not as aggressive as he should be when he’s in. He doesn’t need to be option #1, but sometimes it feels like 4 on 5 when he’s in because he’s too passive. Regardless, he’s been better than X lately.

I’m worried about that too after watching the game. I don’t think we’ve really doubled anyone this season have we? My memory might be off on that but I think we may see some of that against Edey. I could see Cupps being a pest and coming up with a couple of steals that way. I agree on Sparks… I was actually gonna mention I’m surprised that we didn’t see any of him last night. I’m certainly not gonna complain about the shortened rotation but I thought he could’ve battled with Payne down low.

Oh I’m certainly not saying Mgbako was any better on defense. I wasn’t necessarily using it as rationale for voting for Mgbako, just responding to a comment that I noticed the same thing. Maybe that’s better suited for the post game thread than this one though

That stuck out to me as well… overall really solid game for Ware but he just isn’t quite strong enough to stop some guys down low.

I think because he went to the bench… which I’m not really a fan of. I don’t care what our players do, fans shouldn’t react that way IMO.

Tough night for X

I’m not necessarily calling for a coaching change… but I’d like to see someone bring some fire to this program like CCC has brought to football. It’s inexcusable honestly.

Woodson has to figure something out. This is incredibly frustrating to watch.

I like the idea of a keeper league. May have to talk my buddies into it.

Wow that seems a little too complex/involved for my group haha. That definitely sounds fun though.

I won my 8 team league this year so I’ll be drafting at the 8-9 spots. I’m targeting St. Brown for sure. I snagged him late second round last year and he was a league winner for me. Don’t know who else I’ll target but I like AJ Brown and Breece Hall at that spot too if I can get them.

Much better second half. More of that please!
