Now comes the endless fouls (on us)

Great play by RT

6:30 to go, time to put our best 5 on the court.

That travel call on Durr was awful.

He has a nice touch. I’d actually prefer that to him making moves in the paint.

Lol.  ...and right on cue he proves your point.

Durr!

TJD sleepwalking out there

X taking too many shots abs not letting the offense flow through TJD

And need Stewart & Kopp to get involved.  Their shooting early in the first half really propelled us.

Bardo does not like IU

The feeling's mutual

The three point play should’ve been on the floor. 

I thought so too in real time, not as certain of it when I saw the replay.

Now we see what kind of adjustments are made by the 2 opposing coaches.  Hopefully the check to the zebras doesn't "clear" during halftime...

But you have to admit, he hit 2 tough shots...

True. No question about it.

Not a good last minute being outscored 5-0

Leal can't stop Davis - that acvounts for their 5.

Not sure that was a travel

Refs want to show they can screw teams in ways other than fouls, lol

I listened to the radio call while watching. Just by watching them constantly show the Boeheim's and how seemingly all the replays had a slant towards Syracuse, I felt like I was watching a Syracuse network stream. Considering all the comments in the game thread, I bet 90% of the production staff were Syracuse grads. 

 

If anyone is interested on how I do this, I stream the game from my Roku on either the ESPN or Fox Sports App (if on B1G Network) then stream the radio call on The Varsity Network app on my phone. I then connect my phone's bluetooth to my sound bar. The radio call is still a few seconds ahead, but you can forward and reverse at anytime. I can get is synced up within the first minute of the game. You also get the full radio call including the pregame and postgame interviews. You can get all the previous games too. 

I do something similar for audio (Fisch) and video.  Since I stream the games I use hulu or fox sports for b10 games.  A lot of times the delay will change after commercials, making it necessary to re-sync the two.  The issue never seems to occur on espn or broadcast network games.

After that first half, no way we get to OT under the previous staff.  None the less there was plenty of good and plenty of bad in this game.  I'm pleased we got that first road game in a hostile environment under our belts.

Under the radar stats.

Race - 10 boards

Parker - 7 boards

Xavier - 5 steals

TJD - 5 blocks

 

Trayce was was dominant but truly a team win.

Sorry Scott, they really aren’t. They lost to Campbell. They beat Wright St by 8. WS is 1-5 and lost to Purdue by over 40

I've got to come to Scot's defense.  They're athletic and well coached.

I've been impressed by their offense.  They'd be blowing us out of the gym if this was our team (and coaching) from last season.

Hummel just gave Archie some credit for our D. I spit my drink across the room.

That deserves a collective WTF?

I don't have any idea what the rest of the season holds, but this team is infinitely easier and more fun to watch than what we had for the last 5 seasons.

I'm hoping for a big lead early tonight so the bench can get the same or better minutes than they did on Sun. Should be no need for Race and Trayce to play more than 20 minutes. Hoping Xavier can stay in the game and play smart. I'd like to see him get 20-25 minutes with no turnovers. Also like to see Kopp and Stew continue their good shooting. Now is the ideal time to build up that confidence. Lastly, Geronimo needs to play within himself. 

I liked that Geronimo got lots of PT on Sunday.  He had some bad moments, but I think the most important thing for him (and Lander) is playing experience.

Also, Nathan Childriss leads the nation in 3 point percentage per 40...

Bet the Illini are gnashing their teeth over not getting some of that!

When he first checked in Fischer said if he shoots it, he'll make it.  Shortly after that he nailed the 3.  Something about Nostradamus lol

Duncomb screwed up a chance to get some decent minutes.  

What happened? Something about getting suspended?

How has Ron Harper Jr not worked on his body still?  Puggie

With the chubbiness and pencil mustache, he looks like "Little Richard".  Good Golly!

Didn't watch the whole game live and had to finishing viewing this morning - thus my late reply.

The entire vibe of how this team plays is miles ahead of what we've seen for quite a while.  The defense is so much more active and dynamic.  Yes, we aren't perfect but I think we can shore it up.  The team seems more active on offense.  If that's because of new players and/or maturing of returnees IDK.

It's only 3 games into the season and Woodson's tenure so I don't know how much we can judge trends in play.  I am concerned about overall poor team FT shooting and a couple of specific player 'habits' that we've seen in the past, but only time will tell.

Finally, was it just me or was Bardo trying to set a new record for the most awful takes in a single game?  Sorry but that guy sucks.
