Or do people look at JG at Maryland and say it wasn’t IU it was JG? I’m always on the player side Cupps gets all the credit for getting up at 5am….same as Edey or TJD Not convinced HS or NAIA coaches aren’t just as good in some cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored 2 and 4 the first two games. Kind of figures IMO because Maryland's offense is going through Julian Reese. He’s also shooting 40% from the line and averaging 2.5 turnovers per. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got talent. It also could just be a change of scenery was needed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you…. Says something about Cupps that we already knew and something about the lack of effort and attention to detail about others he replaced Hard to be a leader as a true freshman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their freshmen didn't play too well, but I'd imagine they'll get better with time...

IUFLA Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Minnesota has surprised a little winning both of their games by 20+ (Bethune Cookman and UTSA)...6'10 junior Isaiah Ihnen (who hasn't played since 2020-21 when Lil Ricky was coaching them) is off to a nice start at 14 PPG and 6 of 7 shooting from 3 and Max Christie's little brother Cam has been pretty good as well... The Gophers aren't deep, but they might have been a bit underrated coming into the season...Big test for them coming up Thursday at home vs Missouri...

BGleas Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Watching a little of Maryland vs UAB. Geronimo not getting the start today after starting their first two games. He was the first to enter the game off the bench though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that really worries me about Maryland is if we're ever in a close game with them, which Big Ten games tend to be, is that I trust Jahmir Young to take over a game in the last few minutes over anyone IU has. That's my big concern for IU this season. Who do we have that can take over offensively late in close games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With X back, I feel a little better about facing Young/Buie and the quicker guards in the conference...But you're right...would like a "go to" to emerge for IU... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
