Memory is fuzzy but he pulled JHS at 10:17mark only to see him come back in and sail that one to TJD. Look. JHS is a NBA player. Will be next year....but man we need him to value the ball. Down the guys our margin is so thin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low BBIQ. We recruit athletes…Purdue, PSU, and others are recruiting kids that know the game…you don’t have to be a great coach because they “Get it”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just needed to tread water til health issue turned around but instead we are sinking like a stone. Actually I like our matchups vs Sconny, Illinois next Thursday....Sparty coming up at home plus Minnesota in there somewhere. Just get tonight and this thing gets turned around real quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates a sophomore that played little last year. Galloway while probably intelligent enough doesn’t have the skill set to run the point. We are screwed until these kids grow up.

Defense needs work and has a long way to go with other parts of his game. If I'm an NBA GM, there are a lot of guards ahead of JHS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 We would be 8 points closer in 1986 without the 3-pointer. If the powers to be would have just left the damn game alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUguy Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I agree with dgam. We are losing to teams we would probably easily beat if not for losing our point guard and now Race. One year, who knows when, IU will go through a season physically intact. If X and Race don’t get back it’s going to be a long, disappointing season. All that being said, just cut out the turnovers, hit a few more shots, and expect PS three point shooting to cool off, and this game is still in play.

JHS is not a point guard although he can run the point. We certainly miss XJ, especially on the defensive end, but honestly other than against Xavier and UNC he wasn’t playing all that well this year. In his last four games he shot 7-35 and he had 17 TOs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season we all were lauding how deep this IU team was, saying we essentially have two serviceable units. I know that we're missing two important players, but the idea was that we had the depth to overcome this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
