Ware and Cupps are the real deal 3. I’m glad I don’t drink anymore because I would turn Anthony Walker sagging way too far off the guy for him to hit an open 3 into a drinking game. I was very unimpressed by him. 4. we suck at free throws. 5. I think MM will be the scoring option needed by big ten play but right now you can tell he just doesn’t fully understand our offense or defense. 6. I’d rather correct things after a win than a loss so let’s take it and get better. #1 for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty normal of fans honestly. The eternal off-season optimism. Last year it was Geronimo and Bates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 We won! I went into the season expecting to see lots of ups and downs for at least the first half of the year. My hope is that once this team plays together awhile, they gel and become a strong team come February/March. Todays game and the exhibition games were about what I expected. That said, I’m happy for the win against a solid team on opening night! Cupps and Ware looked really impressive. Go Hoosiers!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierMama Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Seems like this team is trying to find their identity which is to be expected after losing such a big presence in TJD. hopefully it just takes some time. In the meantime just glad we got a W. Also, where do I sign up for the Gabe Cupps fan club? I think he might be my favorite player already. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 13th&Jackson Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 IU made 4 threes vs 13 for FGCU. That’s 27 points that have to be made up elsewhere. MI has 5 threes, 11 minutes in and IA 8/16 from three at the half. IN can’t continue to compete this way in modern basketball. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I don’t know but it seemed to me in the first half our D switched everything even when they didn’t need to? Then after Woody called that time out they stopped switching and went on a 10-0 run! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Woody didn't mince any words on the radio postgame. FT shooting stinks, Walker & Gunn non-existent. Weak side defense non existent. Gave a lot of credit to Chambers and the FCU squad for playing hard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Not sure if he got credit for it, but it looked like Cupps blocked the last shot from Florida Gulf Coast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the switchability, but it seemed like there were a lot of unnecessary switches that just caused guys to get out of position too often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckerkorn Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 A couple of times when they had the camera on our bench - man what a physical monster Newton is! I sure hope he gets healthy so he can start knocking dudes around. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a lineup of Cupps, X, Trey, Mgbako, and Ware just to see what it looks like. It’s our best lineup in my opinion…Mack can bring the other teams 4 out on the perimeter then look at all the space the guards have to play with. I don’t understand how we didn’t see a single minute of that lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s because when Woody finally went to the 3 guards in the 2nd half that lineup was working and Woody didn’t want to change anything.

KoB2011 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Some bright spots and we came away with a win. Loved what I saw from Cupps and Ware, that went a long way to answer a couple of key question marks about this team. X and Trey were mostly solid. Our backcourt is thin on bodies, but I feel pretty good about the three main guys if they can stay healthy. Malik and Mack have got to be better. Malik scored well but was as bad on defense as he was good on offense, and a non-factor on the glass. Mack just was no existent. Gunn and Banks didn’t give us anything. Walker had a few flashes but looked like he tried to do things he isn’t capable of as the game tightened up. Need him to stick to his strengths. Overall, defense sucked. We have some good pieces but we have got to stop over-helping and getting lost. We have three really good on ball defending guards and a great rim protector. Guys need to trust that and stop helping off. Lastly, I am a little concerned for lack of a better term about our offense approach. We have to take more threes and we have to push the ball. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I don’t think the lineups they were with out there was beneficial to them…head scratching on the lineups until the end…at one point we had Walker and Banks on the floor at one time???

Especially when he is in foul trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
