ButlerHoosier Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) So after having a night to reflect a little from the game here are a couple takeaways I saw... First the obvious...The officiating was suspect at best and comically horrendous at worst. I mean even when you have Purdue loving Robbie Hummel commenting that that arm fling was unnatural and poked Kopp in the eye and it should be at least a flagrant 1. I loved number 24 the next time down after Kopp got poked in the eye he was going to drive and thought better of it cause he was going to get "touched up". You could literally see Race and TJD waiting. Cause this is a family friendly site I'll use a better term for number 24 pansy! Also every time TJD was doubled he had his arm raked at least once or twice. It happened the same for Race as well. There were other egregious calls too. Not to mention all the holding calls on our guards that were not called on theirs. The start of the second half the whistles were finally starting to be normal both ways and you saw the lead drop quickly and Maryland be exposed. You could see the Maryland players starting to throw a fit cause they weren't getting the same calls. After that the game was over once they swallowed their whistles again. Everyone with eyes could see it and you could tell it in our players demeanor right around the 10 minute mark. Next I will give Maryland props. They game planned wonderfully and took us out of our game. When they double teamed TJD they took away the angle for TJD to make the pass to our open shooter on the same side. They made him make the cross court pass to the weak side or try and play hero ball. That resulted in alot of missed shots. Next they closed out hard on 3 point shooters and dared our players to drive past them. We have proven to now be competent from the outside to make teams respect us. So now we have to progress our game from there and put the ball on the floor and drive to create for our guys. We did not do that at all. They pressed us which made us feel uncomfortable all game. It played with our heads all game. Perfect example, JHS shot 1-14. TJD missed bunnies like he used to and even air balled. We also just took the ball up against the press rather than trying to break it. The one time we did break it we got an easy bunny for our bigs then we never went back to that. Lastly I'll wrap it up with everything else. First we have XJ hurt who we could have really used last night to break the press and bring a calm factor. Geronimo was really missed cause with his energy and rebounding it could have helped get more posessions. Also Race seems still not 100%. He seems to be gutting it out though. He needs relief. Next I was waiting for Woody to blow his top. I mean he really needed to channel his inner Bobby Knight. Part of me felt a let down game coming. The most frustrating thing though is this game seemed like a winnable game. Also can we not have a number next to our name. It seems we play better. O well. Onto a huge win on Saturday!

Was up close and center for this one but there's not a bad seat in the house - the last row is only 200 feet from the stage. Awesome and very, very underrated venue. Cheap Trick and 38 Special coming this Spring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Hoosier Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 From the looks at the past few posts it sounds like I shouldn’t even bother reading the thread lol. Tough game last night but hopefully the team can regroup and beat the 💩 out of PU on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not too over the top like we saw with some of the previous losses. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what to tell them. It says a lot more about them, then it does the "whole" we have here. This is like the most G-rated place I've ever been to talk sports and that includes my own household growing up. "know-it-alls" are we in elementary school? Maybe more should just listen to the things that are being told to them? Idk. I think I can remember one game thread a bunch of you guys got into it and a Mod had to make a PSA the next day? only thing I can think of on a "big scale". But, game threads are stupid anyways and I have no idea how any of you participate in them, especially on a regular basis. But, game threads are stupid anyways and I have no idea how any of you participate in them, especially on a regular basis. ..... Spot on! I don't even attempt to open an in-game thread winning or losing. It is mind blowing how many posters are so negative and to various degrees. I wait till the game is over and "check the temperature" before I decide to jump in or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 We're only as good as our guard play. JHS was 1-12, Galloway in foul trouble. No X. Throw in FT's 29-12. Life on the road in the Big Ten. Except for MSU game, Bates not giving us anything. IU needs a veteran guard (X) in the rotation especially on the road. We have to bring it Saturday. I'm not sure Purdue will lose another game. Saturday is their toughest remaining game. IU is the best team they play twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the PSU I decided to stay off the game threads, maybe go at halftime but I only did that a couple of times. It has made watching the game better because I wasn't being distracted by the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though... watching any of my teams out in public is a form of hell for me. Outside of going to the game. Makes sense why I don't enjoy the threads! Different strokes for different folks. But, the reason I brought them up was because I was confused and thought (basically) the only time the board was having issues with anything being personal was in that specific thread. Idk.
