slojoe Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Not much defense in 2d half of Marquette v. Buffalo game. Buffalo got 47, but Marquette put up 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be curious to track but besides Sparty or Michigan....when our resume is on trial for seeding come March our 23 point win over Marquette could be the 3rd most impressive of season. The talking heads who did the post game round up on Fox mentioned our game with Marquette...how we really routed them in AH...and that it was, in the words of the Marquette players, a turning point for them as a team.

As I recall it was largely Smith Edit - I stand corrected, went back and it was Al and Rob who defended Howard most, must've been thinking of another game -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 That MU game was before all the injuries - I don't think it is a stretch to say we will get back to that form and be a top 10-15 team the rest of the way. This IU team is REALLY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I must've been confused with another game, it was Rob and Al both, and they held him down pretty well for much of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was very entertaining...especially the second half. Marquette scored 64. Howard was simply amazing...scored 24 straight for Marquette during their big run. And Buffalo played good D...very athletic and quick...gave Marquette all they wanted the entire first half leading by 9 at one point...and came back from down 10 in second half before Howard took over. He was in the zone, as they say...and Buffalo had hands up in his face...didn't matter. Haha...good D...well, the first half they had Marquette on their heels...but 103 pts, I guess saying good D is pretty ridiculous, but Marquette did shoot a great percentage both from the arc and overall. Made their ft's too. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 I/we keep talking about Alford being on the hot seat. But Shaka down at Texas has to be feeling some heat. Especially with what Barnes is doing at Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This IU team is REALLY good. I think this team definitely has the ability. teammwork, D, key scorers, decision-making, depth and late-game coaching to be right there. I also think the team has exploitable limitations, limited outside shooting, often slow starting and playing from behind, poor free throw shooting (seemingly improving), and some crazy bad luck with injuries. Man if we had Hunter. I LOVE that we are winning the close games, making good decisions down the stretch both from the bench and on the floor, cardiac kids. I HATE that my heart may give out if this continues. I'd rather some more Marquette-style curb stompings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you and I are in agreement that Romeo will get it figured out; if you isolate him out of the equation we are shooting 41% as a team from deep. I agree we need to start faster, but I think that is a combination of youth and gameplan; I'd like to see Archie run plays to get Romeo and Juwan shots earlier in games.

FKIM01 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Dakich is such an idiot D-bag...doesn't even know who IU's first game was last year... ...and the team celebrated a tremendous shot. Fans weren't rushing the court. What a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo's outside shooting though is partly to create space and keep defenders guessing. The slow starts include each of the last 7 games. Guys like Al and Rob and Morgan are showing, at least on still somewhat limited shots, that they can shoot. Not sure how well that will hold up as their shooting increases, and part of it is we're not a team that takes a lot of threes, but while we're very efficient on FGs, if we were hitting some more 3's we wouldn't be in these repeatedly nail-biter games. I'd like to see a little more outside shooting, if we can hit consistently. I don't know yet if we can, and that we're much more dependent on the traditional FG leaves us open to teams that can hit from outside, though our D, especially in the second half, keeps us in it. Look at a team like UM. I don't know if we're going to be able to hang with that team, it's really, really good. I do think we can hang with MSU and the rest in conference, but I also see us losing close games because we screw the pooch at the stripe and are playing from behind and aren't scoring much from deep. That we've got a very good coaching staff, and some really good players and team chemistry, I think is beyond question. But we do have limitations, so far.

Maybe it's been discussed before. In a pro town like LA I have to believe the pressure to get 5 star guys or flashy recruits is a big deal. Alford to me doesn't seem the best with those types of kids. He's better suited to the 3 year guys who were ranked in the 50-80 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
