It was Coaches decision to sit him out, if I had to guess, probably the tech against ND was the reason

I duno, that was about the mildest tech ive ever seen. X didnt sit for popping off and getting one early in the year.

Is Parker on the bench, I haven’t been able to find him?

Ive been looking too. Think i caught him on the edge of the screen at that time out. Not sure if CMW is hoping to get some other guys on track shooting, but Parker's outside shot not being there hurts. 

Leal over Parker to start? 🤔

Cleveland State beat them by 14 as well.  Talk about symmetry between 2 notorious IU losses......

We're doomed.

Does that mean NKU is favored by 28? 🤔

Well, Cody has TJD beat in the FT% department.

Which made the fact he never took shots from there (not ft's) all the more head scratching.

Agree on most of that, Cody is also a better athlete, but he definitely does not have a midrange jumper. Zeller's midrange is probably worse than TJD's. 

Ya, admitedly, ive not watched Cody in the pros, but the only time i remember him shooting outside of 4ft was a freethrow.

I can’t think of one NBA forward that you can point to and say “TJD would/could be of that cloth”. He doesn’t have NBA size, shooting ability, handles, or quickness/explosiveness. He’s a very good college player but unless he develops an excellent outside shot he’ll have little opportunity at the next level. 

The 1st guy I think of is Cody Zeller.  Lived in the paint. Didnt develop any outside game at all. Good passer.  He's now on his 3rd? NBA contract. 

What's the major difference between TJD and Cody?  Other than 4 outside shooters, i dont see much of one while at IU. 

Rob has the prettiest broke @$$ shot ive ever seen. 

Freethrows and bunnies. 😮‍💨🤦‍♂️

My Keys to victory

Pound the ball inside early and often

Limit live ball turnovers

Speed the Badgers up

Stop Fouling. 

 

TJD just picked up his 3rd foul. Race has 2, X has 4 already. Trey picked up a tech for an "agressive hair flip" and Al got a flop warning already. Yes, i am aware that Al no longer plays for us but the refs were feeling nostalgic and wanted to give him one for old times sake. 

Bates and TJD both have 2 TO's each for "shooting with the wrong hand".  Parker got one for moving without the ball and Kopp got trapped and tried calling a "Time Out" but the refs thought "TO" meant turn over so they gave the ball to wisky.

All in all I think we are doing pretty good so far. The last several years have been a lot worse this close to rip, i mean tip off. 🤣🤣

Having lived in Maryland for 11 years, I can say that program does have a ton of potential, but the fans are a little delusional about it. They spend most of their time listing off all of the guys from the DMV that didn't go there and arguing that they're one step below a Blue Blood and would be in that conversation if everyone from Maryland went there. 

Huh, that kinda sounds familiar. 🤔

TJD may be the best player in the country.

He has been fantastic so far no doubt, but im not sure id go that far yet. His FT shooting is greatly improved but he is still kind of a 1 trick pony....and its a GREAT trick dont get me wrong. He has taken more jump shots so far this year than he has in his entire career at IU but until he can at least be a threat in the mid range im not sure he can wear that crown.

And no I dont have a list of people better than TJD.

He damn near had a quadruple double (with turnovers being the 4th stat)

Im not bagging on him, but regardless of what his stat line says, im not sure how anyone watches that game and says Race had a good game.  He cleaned things up as the game went on and was a big part of why we were in it at the end.

Race did not have a great game but he left everything out there. Im not sure he woulda physically made it thru another OT.

Anyone know what happened to Rob?  He looked to roll an ankle or knee but came back and got yanked in a REALLY big spot never to be seen again.

Ok, @Hoosier51, @kyhoosier29 and @Hoosierfan1215 forget what the mods say, can you all keep it up with the bickering?  We've been playing well since you started! 🤣

We are pretty well playing 5 on 8 right now. 

We've had 2 questionable offensive fouls called on us already and the Boehimes have come out firing. Hopefully we respond like we did against Marshall after getting hit in the mouth. 

Aaaaaaaannnnnd we are 💩'ing the bed so far. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Parker is too slow to get past his man to get to the foul line. He is purely a catch and shoot guy. Don't get me wrong...we NEED that kind of shooter...but his speed is a liability...and he is never someone that will scare anyone into fouling him. You just run him off the 3pt line.

Matt Roth was by no means an athletic freak and woulda killed to have a guy like him on the team the last 4 years!  Parker knows his roll and to this point has filled it quite well. If he just keeps doing what he has been ill be happy. 

Do B1G refs go to the Angle Hernandez "Lets see how bad we can eff this up" camp durring the off season?? 🤔

To be fair, one of those calls was absolutely horrendous. 

Jorge Munoz at Baylor. 

I think TJD, Race and Jordan are going to be keys to this game. What they are able to do in the middle of that zone is going to make or break the game, i think.

Marshall should be dancing this year.  Their offense and athletic front line was a matchup nightmare for Durr and for the first 30 minutes TJD as well.  With us playing the top side of the screener in the pick n roll, Durr never stood a chance of catching up to his man after he slipped for the lob.

I really liked the TJD's passing out of double teams. How nice is it to have people that actually knock down the shots!?

I thought we could have done a little better job finding Parker in thr 1st half, but when TJD is rolling like that you gota feed him. 

Live from the balcony!  And does any other coach in the country have a better walk out song than Coach Woodson!?!?
