Lostin76 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 It was kind of funny to hear the announcers freak out about TJD as he was making those insane spin moves and dunks towards the end. Not sure they had ever seen a game of his - or of basketball. Would love to see these Seniors go on a big run in the NCAAT. They deserve it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 38 minutes ago, Reacher said: He's playing with confidence now. He's a battle tested veteran. Hopefully finally healthy. I hope he really shines in this tournament and can end his career at IU on a high note. He deserves it I think the thing that surprises most teams is the ability of our bigs to take on guards on the perimeter, even though they have to see that on film. Carry would get a switch and start putting on his dribbling display and eventual drive to the hoop, only to find Race or Trayce right with him. The other thing is, I'm not sure other teams realize what a tough defender Miller is... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What frustrates me the most is that many of these national media types that were predicting we lose really have no idea how good Trayce is. There was one moment, I think it was after the Thursday games, where they were in studio previewing Friday matchups, and Kenny Smith was blathering on about Kent State. Either the host or Clark Kellog threw out TJD's 'not since Tim Duncan' comparision. Smith immediately became silent and Barkley had a stunned look on his face and said 'wow'.

And his push up the floor with the assist to TJD for the slam was awesome. I really think Gallo will be a stud next year. Remember, he hasn't had a full season without significant injury since when? His Freshman year? (can't remember that far back) That's what stood out to me besides what TJD and Race did. I looked at the box score this morning to see what I missed and I'm like I felt Trey was in on so many key plays. Either way the roommates did what Seniors are supposed to do.....TJD, Race, Kopp kudos for advancing us. Next up a trip with our old buddy Nijel.

Because Clark actually watches the games he commentates on. Barkley at least admits he doesn't watch as much. Somewhere along the way someone gave Kenny Smith some bad advice that he was a scholarly type. His pause delivery answers to make us think he's really deep in thought?

Between2Halls Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I liked how we didn’t buckle on any of KS mini spurts. Especially considering how many of those spurts were aided by weird or lucky moments. A good resilient effort last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Incredible offensive game plan to attack the rim with midgets and get swatted by our programs leading shot blocker of all time. A coaching savant he is not. Maybe Rob can call someone for help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Arizona and Kent State he is a very poor 3 point shooter. He’s had other stretches in his career of looking plenty good enough to shoot a couple a game. If he’s shooting with confidence that’s a big plus for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make for the best product, that's for sure. Unlike some of you, I don't mind the TNT crew. They are entertaining and there is a reason they've been doing it for as long as they have. But to the bigger point, Kenny, Chuck et al primarily follow the NBA. To shift and suddenly be as intimate with the knowledge and nuance of so many NCAA teams is unrealistic. They have to go on a crash course to catch up with people like Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis. But to your overall point @IU Scott, yes, it takes away from what the colleges are/have done when announcers are unfamiliar with the players/teams. And of course, as fans that follow every dribble, any error is amplified 100x and becomes annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
