Trayce 6-7 FTs and now 16 pts. Trayce and X taking over

TJD also with 11. 3-4 FTs, 4-4 from the field, an assist, a steal and 4 blocks. Make it 5 blocks.

Xavier Johnson the first into double digits. 11 points on 4-5 shooting.

Now 4-8 from 3. Maybe these guys can shoot. 34-11

X to Durr for a dunk and his first basket as a Hoosier.

Don't look now but we are shooting 40% from 3 !

We have 4 fouls to their 3. I know its early, but we need to start drawing more. Geronimo in. 14-8. Now 16-8. Hope we learn to put them away early.

5 NIU turnovers. Haven't been able to take advantage. 11-7. Rob and Bates in.

1 of 4 on 3s representing 40% of our shots. Like some more inside play. Thanks Trayce.

Glad I decided to just listen in on the radio

Race with a 3!

X, Stew, Kopp, Race and Trayce

Lets go Hoosiers!

Apparently Durr is available. Looking forward to seeing him.

Are you familiar with this? https://covidlonghaulers.com/ Look like they are working on the same questions you are.

I haven't had time to look into this in any detail but the writer is a MIT grad self made silicon valley millionaire so on the surface seems like a pretty smart guy. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-vaers-analysis-reveals-hundreds https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/we-will-kill-117-kids-to-save-one Raises some interesting questions. Will be watching to see what answers eventually come out.

Sorry to hear that. I have to wonder how many other issues / cases will eventually pop up and how many will actually get reported and or linked to the vaccines. I saw something I was going to post here but didn't get around to it and now can't find it about how the the first wave of post vaccination babies are now arriving and there are more going to the NICU. This was just a report from one hospital but it makes you wonder how accurate and / or widespread the issue could be. I do fear t hat we will be dealing with health issues and other tangential issues like depression and drug use that resulted from Covid for many many years.

The vaccine argument may be moot in a few months as new treatments emerge- https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/coronavirus/oral-drugs-being-studied-for-covid-19-treatment?cid=63emHLN110821COVID

Our guards also had all our turnovers

I noticed that as well. Was disappointed with the pregame festivities. Thought we could have had better intris- and enthusiasm

After a rough start, Xavier got better. I don't think he fouled Farrakhan at the end. I was really hoping to see Rob and Race get a few more 3s to fall. They need that confidence. TJD looked better than last year. I liked how he let the game come to him. He still missed a couple point blank ones. I was hoping to see more from Geronimo than his couple dunks. I thought we didn't play very smart - especially in the second half. Rob and Xavier need to recognize mismatches and who has the hot hand. Too often we let up last year and / or played down to the competition. Woody needs to get these guys focused for the whole game.

Thompson led in +/- with a +18 followed by Kopp at 9 and Xavier ay 7. TJD was at 0. Geronimo a -9. No doubt Race was a factor while in the game. I agree with TJD as the MVP though when you look at the entire game. He was the only IU player to shoot better than 50%.
