No. I like watching the other teams grab 15+ O boards, one of the reasons I tune in every game. Other favorites-- stepping on legos, pulling off hangnails, and folding laundry. 🙄 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Gutsy win for sure. Really glad that I was able to watch and enjoy. So happy for Leal. Kid deserved to have a day for sure. Big time shot by Cupps and even the 2 ft's made by TG after the x injury. Ware could be so so good loved his offensive rebounding and the teams offensive rebounding the second half. Not gonna talk about any of the negatives, had you told me prior to the game that we would lose 2 starters and Leal would be our 2nd leading scorer I would have thought we got run out of the building. Build on this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Have to give a lot of credit to our defense. Started at IL. The extra time off before that game helped. Iowa is a good offensive team and they were stymied due to Wares presence inside and a good job contesting shooters and forcing bad shots. Had we not had some careless turnovers and rebounded better, this would have been a blowout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but I am pretty sure Leal was hurt most of last year? I also think he has dealt with a lot of injuries during his time at IU. I don't think he should be playing starter minutes, but I do think he's earned the 10-15 minutes a game that a guy with is talent should be able to contribute and think he'll probably get it.

Hoosierdave Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Apparently a fan account this morning said X and Malik’s x rays came back negative. Anyone hearing something similar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Not any any way saying that Leal should be playing 25 minutes a night, nor do I have an expectation of 13 points and 7 boards. But........it sure doesnt hurt to give him 3-4 minutes in the first half to see if the game flow is a good fit. If it is, and he ends up getting more minutes, and subsequently goes 2-5 or 3-6 from 3, we are getting bench points that no on else coming off the bench is currently providing. I'll be honest, there has been more than one game this season, especially when X was out with his foot, where Cupps appeared overmatched and Gunn was misfiring that I could not believe Leal wasn't getting a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
