It seems like we have a few players on the team who sometimes loses focus or play to soft for my liking I think you just described Cupps and Newton. We just need more like them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Seriously, we, as fans, have set the ceiling too high for this team. Any chance of us competing for a Big Ten Championship or a deep run in the NCAA tournament went out the door when X got injured. I'm actually please we finished where we finished in the Big Ten standings. We easily, and I mean easily, could have been the 10 seed instead of the 3. When you are filling out your bracket, regardless if we end up as a 4 or a 5 seed, if you move IU beyond the round of 32, you are letting your fandom drive your choice. We are a toss-up against most potential 4/5 seeds, and should be underdogs to Duke and UConn, if not others. And, if you have us advancing beyond the Sweet 16, then you are being ridiculous. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Our team is phenomenal with ATO inbounds plays, not sure why anyone would say we're not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is it fundamentally sound to jump past the 3 point shooter with no way to recover? Trading 3s for 2s is not good math. Whoever draws up the out of bounds plays should be removed. When I coached, I loved when teams pressed us It was easy scoring. IU has no idea how to set up a press breaker. No screens, little movement to get open and bad spacing! No one is a threat to score. Why? Need to watch the girls play to understand team basketball. Draw the defense and kick it out. nstead, we draw the defense and force the shot...why not hand the ball to the defense and get back down the floor? Ball screens are terrible on defense. Gallaway has a bad habit of turning into the screen instead of sliding through it. Ball screens are not coached anymore...PATHETIC. No need to switch if coached the right way. We have no go to guy for the outside shot. A 6th year player should dominate from outside. Why is he on the floor? 2 players came to play: Race and Reneau. 3 minutes ago, ForHumanity said: Just stating facts, Jack. Never said I was. What's the idea of putting words in my mouth?

You say that you know better than a guy who has coached at the highest level there is... No one "put words in your mouth."

BGleas Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 We just didn't have energy today. Not an excuse because obviously PSU was playing their 3rd game in 3 days, but I hated it the second I heard we had the late game yesterday and then had to come right back this afternoon. Didn't like that setup. Thought it was ridiculous that the staff went back to Race instead of Reneau in the 2nd half. Our only real run, outside of the really late one, was with Reneau and then we never went back to him. Also frustrated that we went 0-6 vs NW, PSU and Iowa. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Banks accept that role? He is someone that has the skills to develop and contribute, if not at IU, then somewhere else. That's the value of someone like Leal. His choices are being a bench guy for his hometown team, or transferring to a much smaller school that is not in his hometown in search of playing time. Banks can develop into a very valuable 3 and D guy. I want him to have that goal for IU, not somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, there have been times this year when Reneau was the better play over Race. Last night's game and the 2nd half of tonight's game were Reneau moments. I have no idea why the staff didn't ride it out with him. They did with Bates today, and rightfully so. But, they didn't do it either game this tournament with Reneau. , 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Race had a really bad two days. He really, really struggled. It just seemed so obvious that Reneau was the play. We control the defensive boards so much better with TJD and Reneau together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re balanced with multiple consistent options, several adept from deep. We have only two guys you can count on game to game and neither is a threat from3. They run the perfect offense for their personnel. But let's not forget they have been beaten quite a few times this year. When their 3s ain't falling they are in trouble.

Inequality Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Interestingly for the we would have won with X crowd… since his arrival, IU is 12-13 vs B1G teams with Xavier Johnson prior to his injury. 12-8 without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as a new poster, it's not worth getting into a pissing match with posters that have a much longer track record on the board. Participate, by all means. Contribute to the board. But, pick and choose your battles. This isn't one worth fighting about because emotions are high after a game like today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we seemed a step slow. I just think this tournament needs to be scrapped unless, when the west coast punks arrive we cut down on the regular season conference games. The Penn St. Nittwitty Lions? I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have Purdue's number this year. But, it's a scenario that could have also resulted in a Purdue win, which would have given the Boiler fans ammunition to use based on something as unimportant as a conference tournament championship game when both teams are already in the NCAA field. It would have been, in essence, a meaningless game, other than for bragging rights, which we already have for this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with more time could break it down in detail. Just a general overall stat vs B1G teams only. It does include both tournaments. To be clear, Im not saying he wouldn’t have been a helpful addition here and there but I’m also not going to claim all losses are because he is unavailable. IU didn’t exactly win at a high clip with him. I would have liked to have him and Jalen together vs not and can certainly see areas where he theoretically could have had an effect on opposing players defensively. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
