He’s extremely skilled at rebounding outside of his area. Actually, I like our chances, if we can keep him away from the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a post player, i always had a tougher time against a shorter stockier player that I was not able to root out of position. Payton Sparks will take up space and grab rebounds. And he knows how to block out !! Right now, the only guy that's demonstrated it consistently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lurch isn't called as much as he should be simply because it appears defenders are allowed to be more physical against him. I think officials let the big boys play more than they should, but if you don't, lots of fans whine about that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 3 hours ago, Stlboiler23 said: I think that going zone last year makes more sense than this year because as a team, I believe Purdue is close to 40% from 3. Last year I think they were only at 32% (and was reasons 1, 2, and 3) why we were upset in the tournament. You take your chances of Purdue torching you from 3 versus giving up 2’s with Edey. Its an interesting dilemma. Not that interesting 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th&Jackson Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 This article really captures the mismatch this year. I think for IU to be successful, they need to go semi-WI and get perimeter scoring from Ware, Reneau and Mgbako. The guards need to drive on PU's guards and kick out for some pick and pops. It's going to be tough, primarily because the three Indiana wins have happened because of superior guard play by the Hoosiers. It's hard to imagine that happening again because the Hoosiers guards are all in a collective funk right now. We know all about Xavier Johnson's issues. In his four games back, he was great against Ohio State, scoring 18 points and playing 34 minutes without a single turnover. But he's been pretty horrible otherwise. In the other three games, he's 1-for-9 shooting and has 11 turnovers. That's horrible. And after consecutive turnovers against Minnesota, Woodson yanked him and Johnson pouted on the bench. That's not senior leadership. Freshman Gabe Cupps started Friday, and he started the seven games that Johnson missed with the broken bone in his foot. He's been good defensively, and values every possession, but he's a total non-factor when it comes to scoring on the offensive end. He was 0-for-5 shooting against Minnesota, and there is this amazing stat. He has played 380 minutes this season, but has had only one game out of the 17 — just one game — where he's made more than two shots. And then there is the clearly puzzling dilemma that is Trey Galloway. And at the free throw line, he suddenly has a case of the yips. It was very concerning on Friday night, watching him panic while missing both of his free throw attempts. Most troubling? In the final few minutes when Minnesota was fouling, Woodson put Galloway on the bench so he wouldn't be fouled. He's probably Indiana's most important guard, but Woodson couldn't have him on the floor. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/tom-brew-my-two-cents-can-homecourt-advantage-be-enough-for-indiana-to-beat-purdue-again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Furst had a bucket at the end, they said it was his 7th point and a season high....? I know his minutes are reduced, but that surprised me. Any thoughts whether or not he may hit the portal? Low chance he’s super religious so money or fame are not his bag….family is Speaking of family….his brother is a walk on I thought he was a future 15-10 all conference type by now but he has zero confidence in his shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for the late Mark Davidson at Ft. Wayne Blackhawk Christian. Could not have had a better coach and life mentor.
