Am I the only who randomly thinks Justin Smith is out there and then it’s just Stewart with his new hairstyle

Leal is such a good teammate… helps Rob to the locker room and is the first one off the bench at halftime to high five the players on the court

Man Galloway has been fouled like that like four times this season

Lavall Jordan trying his hardest to keep his job… up 57-40 against Creighton

I think part of the reason Stewart and Kopp don’t do well in the first unit is because the focus is for TJD to score and play through him. I will say it is nice to have shooters to kick out to though

Would you rather Parker and Kopp sit in the same spot for the majority of the possession or would you rather have them coming off screens on a regular basis? Serious question.

I did something similar (although I didn’t add up points and only looked at the 1st half). I noticed that the overall trend was that we either have gotten out to an early deficit or the game was relatively even through the first several minutes.

I remember you not being a fan of the starting lineup and being in favor of a change and lately it seems that the starting lineup hasn’t been able to put anything together. Stewart and Kopp fit the exact same way in our offense and we just can’t afford the have two people standing on the wing/corner at the same time. Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing one of them being benched because our current offense doesn’t seem to work well when they’re both out there.

Couldn’t agree more… especially when you know Trayce is going to struggle going up against a guy that’s bigger than him. I will give Kopp some credit as he does have a midrange pull up game that allows him to have a little more dimension to his offense. But outside of that, those two just stand stand on the wing/corner 90% of the time which doesn’t add anything to the offense. With our defense where it is, I’d like to see the staff working on this area in practice. Maybe they are, but it doesn’t seem evident based on their gameplay.

Yep, when we are just in our standard offense we don’t move nearly enough. When we have set plays though, we have good movement and shocker… we get open (see PS near the end of the Michigan game & Robs last two shots against Purdue). We are capable of running good offense (at least sets), but we don’t make it a priority to have off ball movement or for our shooters to come off screens with an opportunity to shoot.

I don’t understand our defensive approach this game… you don’t just leave shooters open on accident that many times in one game.

He forgot what team he was rooting for

X is the problem? Give me a break. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that thinks that’s ridiculous

Agree.. I didn’t agree with that call but hey I’m not mad about it

But playing bad doesn’t mean we should automatically jump to accusing them of being full of themselves…

I will say one thing.. Woodson usually does a hell of a job getting us a basket out of a timeout.

Need to make a fix on the ball screen D at the top of the key… but if Dickinson hits 3s like that it’s gonna be tough to make a big change

That silence is deafening...

No they'll have 4 stars on the back instead

I would assume that’s actually a pretty common occurrence now that I think about it. But Geronimo for whatever reason sticks out in my head and obviously last night is an extreme example that most recruits won’t be able to experience on a visit.

I can’t help but think about Geronimo’s visit and his comments after. He knew he was going to IU before he even left. And Geronimo didn’t even get to see a game/ environment like Little did. I hope Little’s visit resonates with him just as much as Geronimo’s did.

I know I’m a homer but I don’t see how we’re currently an 8 seed. Good news is these predictions are meaningless.

So... who ponied up the $2,000?

Edey is a matchup problem for everyone lol

Geronimo rebounding cannot be understated for this game. Him, Race, TJD and Durr are gonna have their hands full this game.
