John S Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I have a feeling we recruit too heavliy based on physical traits. Because many of ou regulars show a low basketball IQ. Some of their mistakes are basic things mastered by high school. If this is false then it must be Woody & Co. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched this type of game before and we're down 15 at halftime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 (edited) I don’t remember a season when we’ve gotten burned by so many long rebounds. It seems like every time an opponent gets one of these, we can’t regroup and they get a 3. Edited January 4 by tdhoosier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdug Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Well, thought we started ok, but things seemed to go bad on both ends after we turned it over on those 3 to 4 straight possessions early. Unlike some on here are making it seem, an 8 point deficit is far from insurmountable. But we need to come out and play a lot better on both ends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 5 minutes ago, 02Hoosier said: True, but we keep giving them easy reach in fouls to call. They may be ticky tacky fouls but they’re legit. I just don’t understand how our guys keep doing it knowing that they’re in the bonus Especially X. He does it a lot. Why hasn’t he learned yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just makes basketball plays. He may not be a great scorer but he puts himself in positions to score and impact the game in other ways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they definitely aren’t more talented, and they definitely shouldn’t beat us. But when you turn it over 9 times, get out-rebounded by a smaller team, and commit numerous idiotic fouls…. yeah, they’re the better team when that happens. Same story over and over. Although I’d say our perimeter defense isn’t what’s killing us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHoosier Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 (edited) Down 8 on the road not too bad considering we had 10 turnovers (4 by Johnson).....8 less free throws....and had Mgbako and Reneau on the bench on shady foul calls for too much of the half. Seems like Johnson needs to come off the bench until he gets into rhythm. If we limit turnovers and fouls, we can get back in this game quickly.

Euroclydon Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 IU on the road highlights all the things they lack. They don't have guards you can consistently count on to make plays and secure the ball. They don't have shooters you know will knock down open shots. They can't stop fouling as a team. They don't rebound effectively. To their credit they play hard. Still in this game with a shot. But the strength they have inside they can't take advantage of. The other team can double every big inside because there's no threat outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, him and Cupps both had ones that made me yell at the TV. X’s was particularly annoying because we were already in the double bonus and as a 6th year player you’d think you would know better.

Nobody else on that team is going to execute that give and go like he did. The reality is that Xavier Johnson hasn't played consistent ball in a long, long time. It's asking a lot to have him starting a Big Ten game after not being a consistent part of this team for good chunk of multiple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
