Going to be a long night if we continue over helping on drives like we have most of the season. Really worried about that because we give up a ton of open 3's when we do that. The strategy should be to run them off the 3pt line and force them to have to make difficult 2's over TJD, Reneau, etc. Should be… we’ll see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IUFLA Posted March 19, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) This view from a Hurricane fan is so...well, misguided... Our seeding was wholly based on our 2 wins against Purdue? Really? I mean, we did beat Xavier, who just dominated one of the top teams in the ACC...and they had their second best player (Freemantle) then...and it was AT, Xavier... And I just looked over and saw that Clemson, who finished tied for 2nd in the ACC got beat by Morehead State in the NIT...a team we beat by 35 in the regular season... Here's hoping that we can oust the last reamaining ACC team Edited March 19, 2023 by IUFLA 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 1 tournament appearance in their first 70 years of competition. It's hard to learn without experienced teachers. 🤷♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm missing something, did they win a single game away from Miami against a tournament team all year?

Drroogh Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I’m actually simmering on the lack of respect for Indiana’s history while ALL the respect for others recent history! News for them this is the new Indiana!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I believe Virginia, Maryland, and Rutgers were the only defense that Miami faced that ranked higher than ours on KenPom, and they put up a big ole average of 68 PPG against those teams. On the offensive side, we will be the best offense they have played all year (per KenPom). The two best ACC offenses on KenPom were Pitt and Va Tech, who they played once each, and those two averaged 75 against Miami. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Play hard, smart and focused basketball. Limit their guard play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Another KenPom note, Miami went 1-3 against Maryland and Duke, who profile the most similar to us on KenPom of the teams they played (didn't play anyone higher than those two). If we can avoid letting them create chaos and then taking advantage of us from three with that chaos, I think we can win this one. Certainly don't expect a blowout, but could definitely see a game that we control most of the 40 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUguy Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Just close out against threes, do not let them get second chances, hold onto the ball without turning it over, especially against the press, go through Trayce, and hit some outside shots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Limit turnovers Limit open looks from 3 Need to not let their guards be able to get to the basket with ease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 A very, very small point. Nick's not opening up tonight for game.

DWB Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Not sure, but I don't think Miami is near as deep as us. If we run with them, we might wear them out in the 2nd half. Edited March 20, 2023 by DWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
