IUFLA Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 When: Friday November 3rd 6:30 EDT Where: Simon-Skjotd Assembly Hall, Bloomington, Indiana TV: BTN+ 6th year coach Scott Heady (145-48 .751) brings his 1-0 Marian Knights into Bloomington fresh off of a 90-76 pounding of Indiana Southeast. Marian's starters were 6'3 guard Brody Whitaker, 5'11 guard Gus Etchison, 6'3 guard Gavin Foy, 6-11 center Jackson Ames, and 6'1 guard Maximus Gizzi. In the opener, Whitaker had 33 and Etchison had 25 on combined 21-44 shooting (8-20 from 3 point range). The Marian Box Score from that game... Last year we beat this team 78-42. Not a very big team, but they do have the quintessential Indiana kids that can shoot it (Whitaker and Etchison). Should test our perimeter defense a bit. Let's show some improvement and get on to the regular season...Go Hoosiers! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Should be a win going away, but a good chance to refine our permitter defense like you said @IUFLA. This is a team that will make us pay if we get lost on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Etchison kid was mentioned quite a bit when he was in high school (Hamilton Heights) by some of our coaching members as a possible IU target. He initially went to Western Michigan, but things didn't work out for him there... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdug Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Looks like there are some new pieces/roles on this Marian team vs the one we beat last year, but I’m guessing they’ll be comparable in quality vs last year considering their track record. To me, there are 3 things I’ll be watching this game: 1. Perimeter defense - Marian seems to be a very guard oriented team. I don’t care what division a team is in, only turning the ball over twice in their opener is very impressive. If we’re able to force Marian into a significant number of TO’s and limit the effectiveness of their guards from 3, I’ll take that as a positive sign. 2. 3 point shooting - In the long term I’d like to see IU shoot more threes than last year, so I’ll definitely be watching that in all games to start the year. That being said, it seems like we’ll have a massive advantage in the paint this game, so I’m not expecting a huge increase in 3 point attempts (unless they’re using the exhibition to specifically work on that). I’m still hoping to see a bit more aggressiveness from 3, but that might only be 15 attempts instead of the 10 we had last game considering the advantage in the paint. 3. Rebounding - This is a game where we should be able to use our size to dominate the boards. We weren’t a good rebounding team last year or in the game against UIndy, so I’d like to see a good rebounding effort here. A poor rebounding effort in a game like this would be a major red flag imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Love the fact that Coach Woodson scheduled this game. First because Marian Coach Scotty Heady is a just a good guy. Knew him from Carmel. Back to back titles a decade ago,etc.....but also secondly that Steve Downing is AD at Marian. What a treat/experience,etc....for those kids and players to come to Assembly Hall. In terms of game. In the first month or so all I want to see is flow. Kids getting used to playing with each other. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 I'm pretty excited to see us back in action. Hoping we get as many easy opportunities and do a much better job of converting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Coach has said he didn’t know what kind of offense they would run because he didn’t know how the team played yet. I’m guessing now that he and staff have seen them in competition and were able to try different combinations and such, we might start to see things coming together!?
