NCHoosier32 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm guessing this has already been said somewhere, but in the updated Way Too Early top 25, they have us down a spot to #15 and they project starters as XJ, JHS, Kopp, Race, and TJD. Seems likely. I'm personally good with that. Just still sticking by that if Bates improves enough to take that starting spot over Kopp, I will be really really optimistic about what this team will do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might bode well for us if we can use this advantage, however as we discussed all last season and the offseason, we need to become more perimeter oriented.

Yeah, I don't really consider Purdue (#9) or MI (#10) to be B1G teams either. 😀 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think I'd have to explain this, but: I'm just weary of years of look-at-me muscle pics of the IU basketball team . . . and then being horrible shooters during the season. I'd much rather see Tweets about players who hit 95% free throws or 45% 3-pointers. That would be progress. Instead, we get Tweets from our NFL trainer about lifting weights, jumping, and swimming pools. To be clear, I'm impressed with the effort of the players. Not impressed with the results. Last season, Indiana was dead last in conference for 3-point shots made, and free-throw percentage. Last. 14th out of 14 teams. We were 11th in 3-point shooting percentage. Who is in charge of addressing this? How do they spend their time? Do we even have a shooting coach? Shooting is more important to the game than ever. I don't buy the argument that these were Archie's kids, and we need to wait a few years until they're all gone. Some do believe that. But that's a different thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no more excuses. I'm not convinced splashing around in a swimming pool under the watch of an NFL trainer is the way to do it. We'll find out next season. Cross training (yoga, swimming, primal movements in sand pits, etc.) is very important because it prevents muscle imbalances. Athletes in every sport perform repeated movements unique to the sport they are competing in. This creates muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances create injuries. While swimming may not improve their shooting performance, it will increase the chances they’ll be healthy enough to be in games, injury free, so they can shoot the ball. Not to mention, cross-training improves agility so they can stay in front of their opponents defensively. Balance so they can finish after contact. Core strength so they don’t get knocked off of their position, Etc., etc. However, if NCAA basketball consisted only of playing H-O-R-S-E, you’d have an outstanding point. Dude, just let them tweet fun videos to get fans who aren’t as crazy as us excited about this team.
