Between2Halls Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 🤦♂️ Is there anything worse than playing on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Parakeet Jones Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I never expected us to win every game this year. I knew losing at Rutgers was a possibility. However, to constantly let them bully us the way they do when we play them really hacks me off. I’m tired of rolling over like a dog and showing them our belly. The lack of toughness was more disappointing to me today than the loss. And our lack of shooting bit us hard in the butt today. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 We weren’t good enough. Lacked physicality. Didn’t play tough enough. We missed Jalen and needed X to step up but he didn’t like being bumped every time down and he lost his composure. Miller Kopp was a huge plus. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Not going to win many shooting 30%. And the refs sucked. I hope we take it out Nebraska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I thought this would be a win but it is not the end of the world but we have to come back and just kill Nebraska. It isn't that we lost today but it is how we wilted and didn't compete with their physicality 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now sitting on 0-1 and every loss conspires against your final conference standing. The team needs to have an awakening on how tough you need to be in conference games. Get out of your heads that this is a one off. This is what it has to be. Would have been nice to avoid a hole in the standings early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 So far the two teams that were picked to win the conference has lost on the road in their first conference game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 NC and Rutgers seem to also have a zebra NIL deal that pays well . But having said that, this is the first time this year I’ve saw this team playing while on sleeping pills. There was ZERO level of give a shick or pissed off! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGleas Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Can't minimize how much missing JHS hurts. It just puts so much pressure on XJ. Also, I know a lot of guys didn't play well, especially a few core guys, so I feel bad calling these two out, but at some point Bates and JG need to step up and be consistent. We don't really have the depth we keep talking about if we can't rely on these guys, especially when you're missing JHS and TJD is struggling some. JG is a junior at this point and Bates is a guy we need consistent offense from off the bench. Long, long way to go, but both kind of no-showed in our first two road games. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Besides Kopp nobody played well but there are two players that has disappointed me the most this year and that is Race and Bates. Bates did have that one good game besides that no much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is among the most frustrating games of the Mike Woodson Era. We don't lose to Rutgers because they're more talented than us, we lose because they play harder. Positives from the game: Kopp TJD had a double double + 4 blocks Defense was honestly fine, we held them to 63 points, we just didn't secure the ball well after the first attempt. Negatives: Got SMOKED on the boards, absolutely pathetic. 14 turnovers Shot like crap, and honestly we had a lot of good looks we missed SOFT Only 9 assists - have to beat that type of pressure defense with more passing. Refs were completely awful - missed plenty both ways but man do some of the really bad misses that stick out all go against us (X flagrant, X getting decapitated, TJD getting hit with no call, TJD getting hammered). Not saying any of those change the outcome but wow, unacceptable performance by the refs. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I thought from the beginning of the season that we could lose2-3 games during the non conference slate. I’m ok with that. Rhat im not ok with is losing to Rutgers. The sky is not falling but this is reality. Winning the B1G is not given to us just because we are Indiana. No one is scared of us now, at least not outside SSAH. Hopefully JHS is not out long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Bottom line is… they played with a higher level of energy than we did, brought the fight to us, and we didn’t knock down open looks. If it weren’t for Miller Kopp, we lose by 25+ today. Yes, not having JHS mattered, but we have to be able to step up when guys are out. He won’t be the last one to miss a game this season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined 1-12 from the floor. JG was awful on the boards. They went after Bates on D in their game plan. Malik’s prolific fouling hurt. Let’s hope he learns from it because we could have used him. Race, I don’t even know what to say but he doesn’t seem to have the energy he used to have. X was 2-11 with 6 turnovers. They got in his head by being physical with him. He’s a fifth year senior, come on now. Actually, looking at the box score I don’t know how we were as close as we were. It’s truly ugly. Rutgers did a great job not letting us run. We need an answer to that because it’s so much of our offense. They were phenomenal getting back on D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 The thing is this game shows why the big ten has struggled in the tournament lately. In the tournament Rutgers won't be allowed to grab one hold the offensive players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a bunch of free safeties out there.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) By the way, Race played only 17 minutes and didn’t play down the stretch even with Malik in foul trouble and JG missing on the boards. I don’t think he played the last 10 minutes easily. JG was another who looked like he lost composure because he kept getting into it with them. Guys, they are trying to get you out of your game and it’s working. I actually applaud the Race benching. He needs much more energy. You’re back for a sixth year, now act fully engaged.

cthomas Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 This was a reality check. Now forget the press clipping and get back to work. It's going to be a long season and this won't be the last loss. The intensity wasn't there all game. I didn't see the fire from TJD that I expected either. For all the grief he gets, I thought that Kopp was the only one really locked in. I don't know what is wrong with Thompson, he just looks off. I wonder if he is dealing with some injury. He's better than what we have seen. Regardless, on to the next one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Race Thompson has been puzzling. He's just been awful so far this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
