Arizona is really really good. International talent galore. These losses don’t bother me…it’s a hell of a lot better than playing a game against some community college and winning 100-40. I mean, yes and no. It is kind of a downer to lose but not a huge deal, IF we start winning our share of these. That is the big thing. Just playing in these games won't help recruiting if we aren't near 50/50 in the games against the big teams. If we want to rebuild the brand we have to do better than last night. We should be pissed that we let a game against a team we can beat get away from us so bad. There was no moral victory last night. We CAN compete with these teams and we need to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and TJD both got outplayed by their bigs, and that’s not even getting into JG and MR. We were completely outplayed upfront. There’s a lot that goes into the “why” we got outplayed upfront, but not a single guy upfront outplayed their man. Combine that with some atrocious calls and that’s the game. RT was over-matched physically in the post, but at least he scored from the outside. Since he did play his best game of the season, I figured that this means that his play wasn't the reason we lost. It really is too bad that TJD hasn't had an athletic 7 foot rim protector to play along side. I did not include MR because he did not play well. I think JG played well enough.

We have all seen lob passes that end up going in. The points count, right? Also, TG has taken this one-handed runner in the lane a bunch of times this year. Each time I initially think he is throwing a lob, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Just getting back from Vegas. First thing. What an environment. I spoke with a MGM person a couple hours after the game and she just said Indiana is welcome back whenever and however it can work. Totally blown away at the turnout. Regarding game. Arizona is legit top 2-3 in nation with their size. With that said (and I haven't read all the comments yet) you can't let bigs continue to just lower their frickin shoulder and plow refs. Just brutal. We miss JHS more than some thought. Xavier is great when he's good but we need that calming presence of JHS badly. Happy to see Race draw guys out. Bates is doing his thing. Kopp getting more and more confident. Disappointed in TJD. There is no way he should ever go that long without a FGA....I don't care how many guys are hanging all over him. Lots of other thoughts but trying to get caught up. I will say this. Tommy Lloyd is a grade 1 dbag. He's getting 80% of the calls all night long and every timeout, every possession he's chirping at the refs. Combination of Bo Ryan/Bruce Weber and maybe Fran....... Not the result we wanted but we get so much more out of this. We have a ton of improvement to do but it's all correctable especially when JHS gets healthy. Take the week. Get finals out of the way and look forward to Kansas. Go Hoosiers. Incredible atmosphere though. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me i cant find it again. It was unquestionably a goal tend. I think it was meant to be another of Galloway's floaters. TJD did not even attempt to go up for it because it is on line with the rim. That thing was going to hit on the inside of the cylinder if it wasn't obstructed. It was an awful call. I was wrong earlier, it would have meant we were down 6 if called properly. We would have had AZ have to inbound the ball so we would have more time to set up D. As it was, we went down and got the flop call (which was also terrible), they hit a FT, TJD gets a foul, and they hit a 3. We go from down 6 to down 12, pick up a terrible foul on our best player which puts him on the bench, and had our reserve PF also pick up a terrible foul which impacts his ability to play aggressively. Somebody up above mentioned the AZ coach constantly working the refs. It is annoying but it works. If you are not going to counter that you will find yourself on the bad side of fouls in most games. We have been outshot from the foul line in every game we have played against P5 teams. Every single one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) So just a couple of notes (which maybe I should have included in the pre-game) After @mrflynn03's comments about an "International All-Star Team" I had to look...All of the Arizona kids have extensive International experience...All quotes are "borrowed" from Wikipedia Ballo played for Mali at the 2017 FIBA Under-16 African Championship in Vacoas-Phoenix, Mauritius.
