IU packs the paint and forces teams to shoot jump shoots. Yet we are basically even on free throws for the year Edey draws a lot of fouls and that is legit. But he gets away with a lot of fouls because he is big. Can’t let him get with away it because he is big.

Agree, but X did a really good job and kept him under control until he got hurt.

The D forced both perkins and sandford into tough shoots

Honestly, I've been struggling with this question all year watching guys like Gunn, Banks, and even Cupps struggle.  Why not give Leal a chance?

 

Agree

You know what you get with Leal. He will play hard and be in good position on D. Might get beat off the dribble but he will compete. He is capable of making the open shot moves the ball. 

The crutches for Malik are probably more precautionary and to keep weight of for a while. Hopefully he won’t be out for to long m. Need him at OSU. 

Didn’t look or sound good for X. Sure hope he turns out OK

The wrap up on galloway was a f1 by rule. Two hand grab from behind no play on the ball

MM got called for one similar and X a few games ago. didn’t even go look at it

Leal is going to have to keep playing good 

Gunn is going to get some minutes too. Time to step up and earn your spot next year

as bad of game as galloway has had he has made some big plays late

that should be a f1

That is no way it hat is a flagrant but they probably will call it because it was X.

Also Ware is so lazy

Ware is gassed

asked to come out the time before going down the floor

Making adjustments and different lineups is good coaching. 

Probably should have done it earlier

Woodson is looking more like dumb and dumber. MM can't handle the ball, has no quickness and can't jump over a pop can. I can't wait till he is gone. The trouble is as incompetent as the Administration is they will give him a Tom Allen extension and buyout.  

Actually it’s smart. Reneau and Ware both can shoot as well. MM can have a major advantage and maybe even get one one coverage. Better spacing for cutters and driving lanes. Finding more ways to score and using a player capable making played is always smart

Time to get on a roll and get this season back on track!! It starts Tuesday. 

Win the next 2 at home

winnable game in the road at OSU and things can change in a hurry

Big resume building games with Wisky Northwestern and MSU at home and this team has a chance to salvage the season. 

Slim margin or no margin for error but it is there.  

The Illinois game showed they still had some fight.

Really impressed with Leal today too. I think he earned regular rotation minutes. 

Leal definitely earned minutes

Still can’t believe this was called a tech. Hawkins reaction could’ve been a tech, and then his little fit in the second half on a no call would’ve gotten a tech on Lebron James. 

That has to be one o. the worst Texh calls ever. Every game a player does that and no call. Hawkins is the one who should have got the T. He ran around bitching and charging at johnson and IU players the entire time while players where going to locker room.

Serious question…why would any guard or shooter want to play in this style of offense? I hope Mcneeley isn’t watching these games lol. 

you will get minutes and open shoots. We miss and pass up a lot of good looks

Ill. did a good job exposing our defense eventually. If I'm right, three times Domask kicked out for a three.

Two of those MM just got lost. D was good if MM is doing his job. He has improved on D a lot so far  but those hurt

that’s a double dribble first

EFF these reffs !

we are going to get beat by the refs in this stretch

That is terrible, unless it was something he said/did after Hawkins cried about it.  

if he said something and got a T 

hawkins should have to because he kept crying 

6 minutes ago, Kdug said:

That’s absurd. Should be a tech on Hawkins if anyone. Realistically that’s just a play on.

Hawkins reaction and keeping charging back and yelling was far worse

Just now, 5fouls said:

He's had 8 boards in the first half today.  I have no issues with a player's scoring when they do that.   

He is playing hard. Needs to get some shots to fall in the second. Walker has to play smarter. The bench has got to start helping

Just now, KoB2011 said:

Great play by X!

If anyone gets a tech there it shouldn’t be X. Throwing the ball to an opponent after a made basket is nothing. 

i like the little toss to Hawkins. Hawkins acts like a little bitch and is still talking shit after officials broke it up. It is either going to fire up Illinois and hawkins or cause him to go into the tanks

I think in today's environment you're going to struggle to find a much better mix of experience and talent. We had talented veterans that are playing pro ball now. We had talented young guys that got drafted in the lottery, another talented young guard we didn't get much out of that is doing great at another P5 school.

We didn't get the most out of our roster last year, we certainly aren't this year.

I agree Woody needs to address the roster issues, but if that's all he adjusts then we aren't going to get where we want tog. I understand that I am the one who started a thread about firing Woodson, but I'd actually much rather see him make adjustments and have a 3-5 more good years before retiring. I just haven't seen anything to make me think he is willing to make the changes he needs to make. 

That makes a lot of sense. Yes we have had a lot of talent the last few years. Tamar oozed talent, just couldn’t put it together with confidence and consistency. He struggled early at Mizzo too but has it going now. We really need that from him last year. We really need Gunn Johnson and Banks to start playing better. Those guys are talented.

That’s part of the equation, what’s he going to adjust in his schemes? He had four pro players last year, including a lottery pick point guard and a generational 5, and he didn’t come close to winning the conference or getting out of the first weekend.

There is more that needs to change than just the roster. 

Problem is as good as JHS was he was only a freshman. A very good player and high draft pick. Picked as much because of potential as posed to actual performance. Thompson and Kopp are over seas professionals. Miami’s starting 5 last year will probably be playing professionally at some point in their careers. The truth of it is JHS at the time of playing the Miami game was the 3rd best guard on the floor. Our guard play has killed us the last several years

We need to find a balance of talent and experience. Having pro talent in young players and players with experience that can go on to nba or overseas.
