Reacher Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 A lot of players stepped up. Who was your MVP?
ClusterHead Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 1a. Juwaan Morgan 1b. Romeo Langford 1c. Deron Davis 1d. Robert Phinisee 1e. Justin Smith (welcome back!)
hoosier_exotics Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 Archie... no shooters, cant hit FT's and still beat Mack and the ville for the 1st time since '02
Reacher Posted December 8, 2018 Author Report Posted December 8, 2018 Green led the team with a +8. McRoberts was next at +3. Smith led the team with 9 rebounds. Added 9 points. Davis with 8 points in 14 minutes and hit 2-3 free throws. Romeo with 21 points and 4 assists - both led the team. Morgan w 15 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks. Phinisee w 10 points and the dagger 3 late. 6 boards.
HoosierDoc Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 I'm going with Archie as well. One thing that drove me nuts with FCTC teams was the quality of shots that we used to get and give up. We were constantly taking tough 3s and contested drives/jumpers while the other teams were able to get so many wide open 3s and layups. Now, we are the ones constantly shooting high percentage shots in the paint. We need to protect the ball better and knock down our open 3s, but the quality of shot that our offense creates has greatly increased with Archie's coaching. 57% shooting on our 2 point fieldgoals. We had a ton of close-ranged shots.
Hoosierhoopster Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 I’d go 1 Romeo 2 Morgan 3 Smith Smith didn’t just score 9 and pull down 9 boards, his points and boards kept coming at key times, he played a big role in keeping us in the game
Proud2BAHoosier Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 All we need is Mile and his Mile-Hi game ball..... I'm going with CAM, at least the guys were able to in-bounds the ball during critical times late in the game. Something that plagued FCTCs teams.....
IUFLA Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 I hate to say this, and I'll probably take some crap for it but...Romeo...Always Romeo. Without him we're the close to .500 team we were last year. He's a difference maker.

The prestigious mile hi game ball. Goes to three players : 1) De'ron Davis. For when Juwan went out with a shot to the head. And IU was down by 9. And looking like the game could get away from us. De'Ron put his big boy pants on and said...."No Way !" I'm going to put an end. Just let me show you what I can do. And I'll even hit a free throw, to keep IU in this game ! " 2) Justin Smith. Who had his ups and downs. But his ups were better at crucial times of the game, than his downs. 3). Rob P. For like Reacher said, above..... for his DAGGER, near the end of the game. Most frosh would not have attempted that shot, with the game on the line. Rob P. showed ice water in his veins.

Without him we're the close to .500 team we were last year. He's a difference maker. No need to hate to say it. And no crap from me. As I have stated, we have two rocks we can depend upon. Romeo and Juwan. They never need to disappoint. And against Louisville, they accomplished their missions. However, in order to become a championship team.... we need others to step up.... from game to game. I keep saying this. Where other teams depend on one (ie. Stevens with Penn State).... Archie is blessed to have not one, but two core members.... and a wealth of team talent, he can call upon, given the game situations.
SIHoosier26 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 Rob Phinisee, biggest shot of the season no doubt.
loviubb Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 I like De'ron and Rob's dagger' but going With Justin for the confidence he needed and the grief hes taken on the board! Also Romeo hitting his free throws down the stretch.
rico Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 Me, I held the beer down and guarded the cashews.
5fouls Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 De'Ron gets my vote. He stepped up when the game was getting away from us..

He had an absolute dime to Smith for a three point play then game down and had a three point play of his own the next possession.
Seeking6 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Posted December 9, 2018 Lots of key contributions from Rob, De'ron, Justin, Juwan....but I'll keep saying Romeo. As smooth as scorer that we've had since Edwards. Just effortless.
TN_Hoosier Posted December 10, 2018 Report Posted December 10, 2018 It sure was fun watch JE and LJ play back in the day. JE was smooth. loved the arch on his shot. Smooth!
