OGIUAndy

Because our guards aren't good enough or are afraid. Afraid of what? I have no idea.

I do have to laugh a bit though. When we've run the "weave" or whatever you want to call it at the top of the key, everyone complains about it. UConn ran that set quite a few times in the second half. I believe Archie ran that offense more so than Woody though. IU needs athletic guards. However, if you ask me, it wasn't necessarily UConn's "modern offense" that beat PU it was their speed and athletic ability on defense that shut PU down. PU's guards were dominated defensively.

Half my friends went to PU. I still didn't want them to win. I could have acted like I was happy for them, but inside I'd be still pissed IU hasn't sniffed it in 22 years.

You did see their fans were chanting f*uck IU right? I'll forget it when they do which will be never.

Please just post what you know!

Fair enough and figured as much but this is a word/term I use for anyone who tries too hard and/or acts and thinks they are little bit cooler than they are. He was annoyingly running around the court showboating like he was Steph Curry. You gotta win something to start doing that kind of stuff. But I am not obtuse, I get the optics. I will update my post.

What are you talking about? So I can't trash talk an opposing player but it's ok to bash our own team, players, and coaches ad nauseam 24/7? Like give me a break. It was a joke. That dude was annoying.

I've seen enough of this bs to last the rest of my IU fandom. Please for the love of god get someone to lock down dudes lighting us up, running around the court showboating.

I think Tucker will a better defender. So I still think Tucker will be the better player. Just my two cents.

Agreed. We don't get Tucker most likely with McNeely and I actually think Tucker has more upside as an "all around" player. But either way, it is lame to see him go to Michigan.

Good question.

I believe Chris007 said the exact same thing on BTB.

I think we're all a bit myopic on the style of play subject. I get that it's not ideal, but our best players have been inside guys, so you have to play them. We need shooting, no doubt but we need another inside guy too. At this point we have zero defense underneath. Hopefully we get a more well rounded roster, but we were bound to get at least one inside guy.

Elite defense is better than elite nothing.

Yeah, not sure I would be pinning my hopes on Conway. Until he's in the portal and setup a visit, this is purely a pipe dream.

That is definitely going to play a big part and I don't blame kids for taking the most $$ especially in football where injuries are a huge concern and the lack of any sort of legitimate league (income) outside of the NFL.

Yep. Mentioned in the other posts, he's a three time DOPY in his conference. They get him, a defensive-hard nose-good PG, and some shooting and I think we're cookin'. This isn't rocket science we need to get guys that fit NEEDS and besides the overly mentioned shooting, DEFENSE is what was desperately missing.

This guy would be perfect. All defense. Adequate offensively.

Averages close to 2 blocks a game.
