Effort picked up the last ten and we won, but it still wasn’t pretty. ehh 40 minutes was bad, with a few scattered in lucky playground slop b ball plays. telegraphed lackadaisical Passing and ball handleing that my 9 year old 3'2" Grand son could have interupted Block out.. WTF is that? Why are free throws so important anyway, we should just do away with them. This was an ugly IU team that seemed to look past this scrub team. Thankful that we held at least the same intensity until the end though. So many of the last 30 yrs we folded like condom at an origami convention. Happy we won, but that team was sleep walking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I would have to question Underwood's thinking on having Melendez on the court on the last play instead of Goode. Melendez couldn't even hit layups where Goode looked pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Illinois played with really great effort today. We looked tired. We gutted out a very important win. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were- 1. Trying to get a steal/10 sec call 2. Trying to foul. ... either of those happen, boom. Goodes back in.

Gotcha, and they had no timeouts. I thought he was talking about IU trying to foul before the final shot went up. And my bad, at that point we were up 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm just going off memory here but seeing us at 10-6 in standings seems solid. I don't remember many 10 win conference seasons over the last 5-6 years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
