Reacher Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Getting killed on the boards. With all their turnovers, we should be up big. Dumb plays killing us as usual. Please start Davis this half with Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefftheref Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 And I didn't go to the grocery with my wife to stay and home and watch this. This team has no passion, intensity or basketball smarts. They look like they would rather be somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 CAM will be the coach that brings IU back to respectability and beyond. If he can't, then there are institutional barriers to basketball success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Hat Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just now, iuthruandthru said: This team can still make the tournament. They have beat 3 of the top 16 teams per the projected seeds they just released. Any offense at all and they win this. The defense has been pretty good so far. Time for them to pull it together and win the second half. I agree but I just don’t see it happening. This team just isn’t that good. Is what it is.

IUCrazy2 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 1 minute ago, hoosiermd said: Yes, but this is Indiana so......... Davis, Morgan, Phin, Romeo, and Green. Make Phin the primary ball handler and have Deron on block and Morgan in high post. Get ball into interior, they are collapsing hard when the ball goes in the paint, then pass back out for a guard to shoot or attack the rim with defenders scrambling to recover. And if they do not collapse, Morgan or Davis take their man and put up a shot. I think that would be the most effective offense we could run right now.

Let’s see how that works out. I think Coach Miller would love to have that be the case for 30+ minutes a game but isn't practical with Davis' conditioning yet. Really wish Davis could play more minutes. One of the few kids who actually picks his head up and moves the ball to the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are managing Davis back to health. It’s a fine line — slow walk his recovery too much and he won’t have any postseason to be in good shape for!

HoosierDom Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Things I don't understand: - Why does Phinisee shoot the 3 he did, decently guarded, but not a bad look. The kind of 3 you want a shooter taking. But, not even think about shooting on two separate earlier possessions where they seemed like they were giving him the Smith treatment. - Going into the game you have to figure there is a decent chance they will leave Smith unguarded at the 3 point line. Seems to me that he should have specific instructions as to whether he should shoot or not. I don't necessarily hate the idea of having him shoot, but he caught the ball, seemed a little taken aback by being so open and felt like he needed to shoot rather than looking like he wanted to shoot. - How do we not make more aggressive off the ball cuts to the basket. We can't shoot, but we have to find a way to get shots: seems like that is how you do it. Our cuts are hesitant and without authority. I think we end up winning by 10.

Would rather have him defending Wesson than going up against a backup. Getting killed on the boards, need some size and rebounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them that when that kick out comes, I want them to not be afraid to shoot. If any one of then is not aggressive enough, bring in Green.

BobSaccamanno Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 This is not pleasant to watch. You’ve got to be a diehard like us to sit through this with enthusiasm, although I don’t think even any of us would consider it “entertainment.” I love Al Durham’s game. Phinisee needs to push it as well as Durham does. Fingers crossed that Romeo is turning the corner with his shot. Other guys go in a shell if they miss. C’mon Rob, you’ve got a nice jumper. It’s ok you missed one, take the next. Justin’s entire game should be quick cuts to the basket where he catches and lays it in without a dribble. It doesn’t solve his lack of defense or motor but at least he can make those cuts and limiting him would be for the purpose of precluding him from trying to be a playmaker. You probably have a half time lead if he were elsewhere today. I think we are getting better with our defensive rotations. Young team took until February in that regard.
