FritzIam4IU Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Nice job on closing out the half with very nice run. Hope Hoosiers start out strong in second half and put this one away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Up 10 at the break... If we can fulfill the other part of Coach's philosophy and come out strong, we can bury these guys... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t appear to have much elevation on the jump. Even his FT shots look weird too, it could be the camera angle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minny guys looked just a little tired, not as quick to the ball, when our starters returned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of NBA teams will run 1-2 starters with the second unit and maybe stagger them out to refresh everyone and then down the stretch of a half you’ve got all your starters back in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Mike Woodson. Tall man with a presence. Played in the NBA for double digit years. Smart guy. Has a way with discipline but sort of in a positive way where you know he loves you. He knows exactly what skill set you need to succeed in the NBA. If I am a player, all of that would sincerely resonate with me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier82 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Only two turnovers has to be a first half record this season. Will be curious if they continue to let our guards jack up 3s the rest of the game. I love the confidence Rob is shooting with finally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I think Coach Woody ran a 3 play for Tamar to try and get him back mentally a little...didn't work, but showing confidence in him I think is big to the kid... He's got a lot going on right now... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works in the NBA because it’s widely adopted by every team and the talent level drop off isn’t significant…not the case here. Id like to see Woody back off that a bit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I prefer that staggering strategy to the wholesale change we do sometimes. That being said, the hockey line change seemed to work today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 That's the type of basketball I enjoy watching. 20 minutes of steady, good play. Much more enjoyable than 5 minutes of frantically good play followed by 15 minutes of turnover infested drudgery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 It was 19-19 at the 10 minute mark. Law of averages worked as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 So the lineup that caught my attention to matchup well in this particular game was Phin - Bates - Galloway- Thompson - Davis. I think it was only one defensive possession but I noticed quickly IU looked better on that end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to see Woody back off that a bit I agree with you. I wasn’t artful explaining it but I was trying to say you could work on identifying a starter or two to work with a backup unit, and then work yourself back to having your first unit together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that……nice to hit some threes, good D and 2 turnovers is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 1st 5 minutes of 2d half. Time to put this game out of reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The day Galloway develops an outside shot IU goes up another level and you won't be able to take him off the court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The more you stagger starters among the second unit, the less time you have your 5 best on the floor together. I like the what we did today. When it came time to have the starters back in, Rob, who was playing well, stayed on the floor and Parker, who had 2 fouls, was able to stay on the bench.

IUFLA Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 If you would have told me XJ and Rob would be 6-10 from 3 at the half, I'd have checked your meds... If Rob keeps this confidence level, we're in good shape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple small things, but he's doubling off our point guards forcing them to shoot (not rocket science), but also notice he has Galloway's man picking him up immediately after change of possession so he can't get a full head of steam in transition. I was going to post something similar but you beat me. Let’s see how he adjusts to the fact that our point guards are hitting shots. I try to tell my friends when they complain, every job in the conference is a big job, and the other schools inevitably will have good coaches and, by definition, B1G talent. Minnesota is a very good school (very good rankings) and their state produces a stealthy amount of talent. I believe Holmgren and Suggs are from there and Wisconsin’s annoying teams often have Minnesota talent. They have potential with the right coach.
