Kdug Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 (edited) Well, one more game in a disastrous trip to Atlantis. The good news is that Providence doesn’t look very good so far this year, with 3 relatively close calls vs cupcakes, and then obviously losing 2 in Atlantis. They also just finished their game so they’ll be on extremely short rest. The bad news is Providence’s offensive profile looks similar to Louisville in the sense that they’re #8 in the country in 3 point rate. They are also #27 in the country in offensive rebounding rate. So they seem to be tailor made to exploit the glaring weaknesses in this IU team. Should be fun.

Paye32 Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 I can't even imagine us winning a game right now. We are playing some of the worst basketball I've ever seen. Hard to understand how in the hell we beat Tennessee, even if it was an exhibition. Seems like a totally different team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 I’d start 5 from the bench to send a message…but we all know Woody doesn’t hold anyone accountable…I mean it starts with him and he doesn’t hold himself accountable so why would he do that either the boys.

Oof, I didn’t even think about that when writing that post, but it is true. Granted, Providence’s close calls look like they were much worse than IU’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We clearly have some major issues to fix with our play, our effort, our chemistry, you name it. That said, remember your goals. I would hope that winning is at the top, but if nothing else you are reflecting on yourself. When you play without effort, selfish, make bad decisions, you're being evaluated for your chance to play at the next level. if you're thinking you're transferring after this year, fine, but you're not helping yourself by giving this kind of effort." oh, and BTW - i won't mention any names, but it sure is nice not having a certain poster dominating this board! i guess i wouldn't have expected him to come on here and apologize for being so aggressively wrong.

13th&Jackson Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 (edited) I recall when IU played UNLV for 5th in the Maui Classic.

Parakeet Jones Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 Providence looked awful.last night and will have had less than 12 hours to rest and prepare. We should win by 20+ going away. In spite of all that, we're only favored by 4.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
