What are the elements of his game he can/could work on to raise his stock should he decide to stay another year?

In my mind, I see two things:

- His right hand - I would love to see him be more balanced in his attack on the block. He so heavily favors his left that it's almost comical. (And a testament to how good it is because he still scores!)

- Mid-range shooting (out to 16-17 feet) - Turning, squaring up and hitting that little jumper a la Tim Duncan. Make the bank your best friend.

But to your point @BGleas legacy would be the only real reason to stay. He could work on the two bullet points above as a professional anywhere he goes. Staying at IU would be simply to cement himself amongst the most memorable; pantheon if he brings a Banner.

Why do lefty bigs need to work on their right hand and you rarely hear a righty needs to work on his left hand????

To play like that and be up 5 at half is somewhat encouraging. Let’s come out hot at the start of the second half and pull away!!!

I hope the B1G really would like to see an IU vs PU crowd in Indy for the finals and MSU ruins their hope. 

Ticket punched!!!

go Hoosiers!!!!!

At the game and this place was just waiting to explode. Great game Hoosiers!!!!!!!!!

Let’s gooooo!!!!!!!

TJD got fouled four times before they call a jump ball. 

How is that not a foul????

Time to regroup. Good TO CMW. 

Good half!!!

You’re right.  I thought TJD had 2, Race 1 and Johnson 1.  I was wrong 😳

That is how I thought it was too. 

Why do XJ not play the last 10 minutes?  He was playing well. 

Second unit plus Race extending the lead!!!

Win the rest of the half please. 

Defensive intensity has sparked this run. 

Great stretch for Trey!!!

Hauser was mauling Race on PS missed three rebound. 

If we just hit a decent amount of open looks and free throws we would be up by about 8. 

Very proud and disappointed for those  six young men who played their hearts out. Everyone else needs to get their head in the game now.

Does anyone on here ever get truly upset when we lose to Michigan?  I mean, upset beyond the fact that losing sucks, or if it was for the conference championship or something.  If not, how can you put the Wolverines in the 'rivalry' group with teams like MSU, Wisky, and Illinois (Purdue is a given).

Maybe I have a different definition of rivalry than everyone else does.  But, I would think Illinois would have to be in the Top 4 of conference rivalries for every IU fan.   

 

Living in Michigan and having a son graduate from MSU, Michigan is my second most important win yearly. Not nearly as much as Purdue but way more than anyone else.

Nice feed by X. He is having a good game and his defense has been  relentless. 

He has really cut down on the fouls too. 

Come out of half like it is tied please. 

Jordan!!!!!

A little different rotation with the big's. Brought Race back in for TJD instead of Durr.

I was just wondering if Durr was hurt. 

I hope Tamar breaks out this game.
