Several of the individual players, in fact pretty much everyone other than Trayce have good games and then not so good games. I define that as inconsistent. To your point, X would definitely help with that by adding another player who could have a good game to the mix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have players being asked to do more than they are capable of, ultimately, and sometimes fail/other teams are good. 12-8 vs. B1G teams without XJ doesn't scream inconsistent to me at all. Edit: Sorry, I think Race is inconsistent. The rest... imo, aren't. Edited March 14, 2023 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you point to many teams that you wouldn't categorize that way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in a slump. In the last four games, he's 3-13 from three. He's not ready to shoot when receiving a pass and drifting on his shot after a defender closes out. Several times he's passed up open shots to dribble into more difficult shots. Better than Gallo, though. Last four games he's 5-21 overall, 1-10 from three. The ceiling for IU in this tournament won't be determined by Kopp, Gallo and Race. If so, it's probably an early out. If we make a run it will be due to big contributions from Bates and Malik. We've looked a lot better with them on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked at the box scores, and other than the last home against Michigan, since returning from injury it appears Race has played about 20 to 21 minutes a game. I'm sure he's not 100% even yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they should have the easiest road; they're a #1 seed. To answer your question: no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we’re talking consistency, he’s the only one not named TJD IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 CBS has a film crew following IU every where behind the scenes. One of 6 schools. Texas, Memphis, Zona are the other I can remember. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
