You mean JHS and Bates. Not Galloway 

Primarily.  Might "encoutage" him at theFT line 😄

I hope Woody tears 'em new ones in the locker room - especially our guards.

I don't think Bates is ever going to be much.

Same, but not surprised.

More commercials than combined points scored.

JHS is killing us.  Killing us.

Bates 🤮

Out positioned on the boards over and over

When your best player isn't getting touches and your second best is chuckin' bricks, you get this.

God, I really dislike Izzo.

Is there really any argument for Edey as NPOY after that performance by TJD?

He's really big and makes threes in warmups.

LOSERS!!!!! 

Goodbye SMELLERMAKERS! HTD is happy somewhere!

LOL

As the clock runs down, Edey becomes irrelevant'

I never knew Steve-O was a basketball coach...And a good one too.

Yes indeed. Four at once might be confusing, but two side-by-side is very nice.

I got as far as them trying to light Steve-O's fart. I guess I have matured since the earlier ones. 

On YouTube they have the jackass celebrity family fued clip which was pretty good. 

I refuse to acknowledge any maturity.  I think they ran out of ideas and wanted to push the envelope.  The previous movies were funnier without being so genital focused.  That said, weiner-bees...yikes!

I don’t think this is an exceptionally smart basketball team.  

• They don’t do a good job of exploiting mismatches.
• They don’t often feed the hot hand.
• The Shooters are often afraid to shoot.
• They pass up open shots to take contested ones
• At times I see a little Devonte Green in JHS as he tries to pound the ball through the floor and play hero ball.
• They commit a lot of silly fouls.
• At least once a game somebody throws a pass that make everyone in Hoosier Nation sit up and yell WTF?

As a whole, I just don’t think this team has a high basketball IQ.

No matter how you cut it we had multiple flaws (as do practically all teams). The two most glaring were lacking that 3-pt shooter that can get hot and control the game and lack of collective killer instinct.

To your point, our collective BBIQ is better than under Archie.

This just seems like an extremely odd and dumb thing to be debating or even bringing up. We saw our team healthy and we boatraced UNC and won at Xavier. 

It's not revisionist history to say we'd be better with our team healthy, it's a very educated guess. 

I dont know for a fact, but I can safely make an educated guess that we would have been better if Romeo Langford had come back for a Sophomore year. 

I dont know for a fact, but I can safely make an educated guess that if XJ gets his medical waiver and JHS comes back thst well be a better team next year than if they both aren't back. 

True.  IMO we may have been able to nudge pu out for first and we'd have been better, but still not likely final four bound. 

For the betterment of the program, things may have unfolded in our favor.  JHS ran the point, showcased, and will be a one-and-done which is purportedly good for recruiting.  XJ returning next season would reduce our roster needs by one.

Raftery also says "Lingerie on the deck!" another stretch implying "faked him out of his jockstrap."

I've seen a few ladies in lingerie, but have never yet seen one in a jockstrap... 😁

Way OT, but speaking of jocks I watched "Jackass Fovever" last evening for some comic relief.  Boy, they were heavily invested in jocks and what goes in them in this one. 😳

I don't think it's "revisionist history" to say we would have won more games with a healthy player who was our 2nd beat player last year and a senior point guard. 

As we were flaming out (yet again) yesterday, I was thinking of how best to characterize this season & team.  The best description I could think of was that we were "a very average team with one exceptional veteran and one exceptional freshman".  Beyond that - nothing to brag about.  So adding an experienced player who would likely be the best-of-the-rest of the team would certainly have been a ssignificant addition.

But, as Rico says, it's conjecture.  Just like Scott May's arm or Alan Henderson's knee.

I'm quoting you as a jumping off point.  I'm not directing this at you, Scott. 

 

It's not the percentage that is a problem, it's the volume.  We hit 38% of 10 threes while teams like PSU and Iowa hit 33% of 24 3s.  That doubles them up on points off the three.  We need to shoot more and find ways to get more open looks from 3. 

YES.  Miller Kopp is the epitome of this problem - low volume, good percentage.

Disappointed but not surprised.

There's a solution to that.  Do what I do and don't watch anything PUke related.  Life is much more enjoyable that way.  😀

Yep.  The opposite of love is indifference.
