Literally had a 3pt shot to tie the game after a furious comeback. It was almost exactly the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Am I just imagining we got a shot to tie it from our must clutch jump shooter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntnfreak Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Two totally different ends of the spectrum. We got behind because of the way we chose to play. Penn St. got behind because they had no answer for Edey, but never quit throughout the game. IU does not play smart and it gets us behind against teams we shouldn’t be trailing IF we played smarter!! Yes..we came back, but no way, shape or form do we have the fight we should!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%…all I’m saying is we SHOULD’NT be getting behind in these games and have to come back!! We are a much better team than that and that’s what frustrates me to no end!!! We have to play smarter which WILL lead to success!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were saying we don't fight to come back when we are down? Seemed like that was your point with the "dawg" comment and referencing how PSU fought back against Purdue.

Dude…let me spell it out for you….PLAY HARD ALL GAME LONG AND YOU WON’T FIND YOURSELF BEHIND AND HAVING TO COME BACK against inferior teams!! Penn St. plays HARD the entire game (dawgs) and can get behind, but IU doesn’t play hard all game!! It’s not really that hard to see watching an IU game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of his point is that if we were smarter / had higher basketball IQ we wouldn’t be digging so many holes. I think PSU is a solid team, but our game plan or execution in the first half was unacceptable IMO, especially when we all knew what was going to happen. That’s what is frustrating to me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you two are saying, I really do. I would say that it was way more about execution, as we had several first half defensive miscommunications that led to open 3's. But the conversation started about PSU being dawgs after their almost comeback, and that IU doesn't have dawgs or is soft. We've had several comeback wins this season and also just showed a ton of heart and fight simply by overcoming the injuries and the 1-4 conference start. I just get frustrated sometimes when we as fans (myself included) start narratives that aren't really there or narratives that apply to like 99% of the teams but act like their unique to IU. But with all of that said, I agree with you guys on the first half lapses. That seems to be a trend the last few games or even weeks. We seem to start well but then go into an extended lack of focus after the first media timeout. Not sure what is going on there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to start well but then go into an extended lack of focus after the first media timeout. Not sure what is going on there? We shouldn’t be having the number of miscommunications on D that we had against PSU this late in the season. That’s what is head scratching and frustrating to me. I don’t think our guys ever quit, but I also think there’s something to be said about having those so-called “dawgs” on a team. XJ is a dawg, brings that edge we need sometimes. I don’t know if we have somebody else that fits that mold. So I somewhat get that, but I don’t know I’d call us soft, just softer than some of us would like sometimes. Too many nice guys.

Steubenhoosier Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 I am probably way off base here, but I do believe that several guys on this roster were recruited by a coach who relied on the pack line defense. I get it that that is 3 years in the rear view mirror, but I wonder if some of those old principles sometimes show up? Race and TG specifically in their penchant for leaving their assignments to help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
