They also blew everyone out Have guards that breakdown the D and score in multiple ways is what we need. Rice and Carlye fit that. Tucker has some potential and Galloway is his gamer. Woody is very close to assembling a solid team with actual quality depth.

Having guys like Carlye and Rice that can attack the basket, make mid range jump shots and make 3s at a 32-34% range will put pressure on the D. More so than a 40% shooter. Galloway added with those guys gives you 3 guys to attack off the bounce. Galloway proved to be a OK spot up shooter his Junior season. If he can get back to 32-34% range and MM shoots in the 35-37% as a volume shooter we will be in good shape. Scoring won’t be the problem. Rice and Carlye will be tougher to guard than a guy like Loyer or Essigan.

Bella will be equal or better defensively. Provides rim protection. Ware got pushed around a little on the inside and was ok not great in the pick n roll. Ware’s length was his greatest asset. Bello is a better rebounder on both ends. That’s a huge plus Ware better offensively by a big margin. But Bello should be equally as effective on the roll. not going to shoot 3s. Ware better in the post and gave up. Bello is probably not going to be asked to do a lot of posting up Big plus Rice and Carlye and Galloway (if he commits) we will be and can run the offense and create. This will give us more of perimeter attack. Exactly what all the fans want.

If we get Carlye. Then a backup big and you can roll with Cupps Newton and Leal. Keep trying for a shooter but that will be a pretty good team. Should contend for the big ten title

There are a lot reasons this guy and others are coming to IU. Money is certainly part of it. But he was getting paid here or somewhere else. Ware and TJD say hello we have a coach that has developed 2 big guys and will. it Bello in pick n roll. We have a passionate fan base. both good and bad. 17,000 plus for every home game. National TV schedule and basically every game on TV. The belief that money is the reason we are getting recruits is false. The money is was coming from other schools too. Give the coaching staff some props. we want to give them shit when things go bad. Give them credit when they do good

Agree him and Bello make a nice defensive combo. I think they can split time. Malik plays the four. MM back malik up and plays time at the 3. Tucker and the other guards backup MM at the 3. Malik can play some at the 5 if needed.

I like that with Newton Cupps and leal. Don’t need more than that 12. If you find a young guy that is willing to come in and set the bench or a big guy for depth than use the 13th

You forgot about tucker

I would take Payne and Ballo both. MR an MM with those 2. We can compete with anyone

Biggest problem last season wasn’t playing tow bigs. The guard play outside of Galloway wasn’t that good. Cupps tired and did fine but really should have limited to 10 minutes. X never got healthy and struggled. Gunn and Banks disappointed. If the guard play is better we can absolutely succeed with Malik play alongside another big. Guards that create and knock down tough shots and get to the rim. Rice and Carlye seem to fit.

Give me Hoiberg or Collins any day. Both should be able to recruit better at IU and both can coach. I’ll take both over a mid major coach any day.

We would want him fired too

IU turned down a NIT bid Big Ten off to a very good start

not sure why I look at this thread. It should be locked up. I don’t care anything about a Purdue kid or how good he will be the same why about any other big ten player. I care about IU players.

1-7 quad 1 9-0 quad 2 net 6

you say mediocre teams Wisky and MSU both top 25 net. Again winning close games is what good teams do and teams that get in the tournament. We are clearly playing better D than a month ago

Hopefully the committee is looking at overall. Wins mean more than a loss. Our record is good. Strength of schedule is good. The committee has said in the past they only looked at the net for seeding and not used that much at all. If that is the cause we should have moved into consideration and a win too would go a long way. Find a team outside of OSU that’s playing as good as us

Not saying ignore it at all. Just saying 70 spot difference is not accurate. Winning close games can be conspired a good thing as well Again not saying we are a great team or belong in the tournament. Just saying we compare good to other bubble teams. I’ve watched St. john’s Villanova Wake Forest and others. Not sure they are better than us. Every calling Iowa and OSU a bubble team is crazy I hope Indiana State makes it in but if they played our schedule would they have a different outcome? Doubt it Doubt they would have even finished with 8 wins in BTT. Too much weight is given to the scoring difference. Coaches are going back to playing shitty teams and running up the score to improve the metrics. You used to play tough schedules because that helped get you in. Now you play bad teams and blow them out. Doesn’t sound like a good way to me

I get the margin of victory but not for 70 spots. We played in the conference played the same teams have the same record. 70 spots behind is ridiculous. We have 4 losses to the top 6 net teams and 3 more to top 22 net teams thats 7 of the 13 to top 22 net teams wins over 2 top 25 net teams. Not saying we belong in. But we should be in the conversation. Overall record and win quality stack up to other bubble teams.

The fact we have won five in row 2 wins over too 30 net teams 2 road wins by double digits against higher ranked net teams Net is a joke

X came up big in this game. Played strong D and played under control most of the time. That is the player we needed all year and will need tomorrow night

I think refs had a little to do with that PS slapped and grabbed all night with very few calls

Anthony Leal 2 game winners Dan Dakich? How about them apples Dan

Maryland 6-12 in quad one and two IU 8-12

Maryland blows out Rutgers and move up from 77 to 72 in the net IU goes down 2 spots to 96 without playing and has 2 wins over Maryland. Of course we lost once to Rutgers but moving down seems ridiculous. The net needs to be tossed out. That is the only thing keeping this team out or consideration. Not saying we belong in just need to be in the conversation. It’s crazy we are so far behind teams like Maryland and OSU and Iowa. I know the margin of losses and victories aren’t that good but the number of victories match up and we are 5-0 against those teams
