IowaHoosierFan Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Much better effort and result on the floor. They didn't look scared of this team and played like it. Now for a week off to prepare for FSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Great win lots of positives. This is what we had hoped for. On to the next. Sure up those turnovers and hit some 3's and we will be alright. Defense has been very good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted December 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Another thing. IU is shooting 73.7 percent from the free-throw line these last three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonHershey Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Phinisee looked more comfortable shooting the three. It's good to have a threat out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 definitely happy to see how the guys came out/responded to yesterday... definitely a nice win. we just have to realize it will be just like last year where we'll get excited when we win, but then we'll turn around and lose the next game. we are average. we don't have many out of conference cupcakes to pad our wins. we are probably the 8th best team in the conference. Lander's D is fine. he looks too out of control on offense. doesn't need to shoot much right now. i expect him to improve exponentially throughout the year though. TJD can be the man at times. when he has played poorly he is still scoring like 17 and 14 pts and getting around 10 rebounds. can't be too upset with that. Race and Armaan are improving. Hunter? eh. RP can be solid. probably outperforming where he was ranked as an incoming freshman. we're not bad. we're not great. gonna be an okay season.

Hippopotamo Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think this season will be better than last but the record may not reflect that. Still really excited for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 *We came out and stayed aggressive. Won 50/50 balls and played with intensity. My only Christmas wish is for consistent effort by this team. *TJD really brought it and needs to bring it every game. *Our D gets better and better. * 20-25 from the free throw line !! * 0-2 from the three but otherwise a good game by Franklin *Still looking for the elusive consistent 3 point threat. Rob has a good stroke and could be that guy. The end of last year provided me some hope that Hunter would step up but that has not happened so far. * I learned much, much more than I ever wanted about Bruce Hornsby’s personal life.

68Hoosier Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Well I hate that I didn't get to listen to the last part of the game (Dang work stuff gets in the way 🤬). Sounds like we closed out better which is good to hear. Really hope the Texas game was just an off day and the team learned from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Miller's first comment about Franklin. My man had 8 rebounds. Growing up getting up bigger older stronger.....think that's a hint? I've loved Armaan since high school. Really good kid and glad to see him getting some serious minutes.

dgambill Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 15 minutes ago, IUFLA said: Mmmmm, well, I'll say this...Neither Stanford nor Providence come close to Texas in playing defense. So, I think if we get a soft defensive team, we have a great shot. Because even though Providence had a decent big nobody but Texas has had the size to guard Trayce. Texas length bothered us a lot. Game always comes down to knocking down shots. When the game got close in second half (4pts) we made several 3s and finished. Big win and a good performance from our starting 5.

DWB Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I thought Armaan played tremendous defense. Only got beat once that I can remember, and was guarding their best player. Way to go Armaan !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 41 minutes ago, Bustout said: I honestly think it’s more about how good Texas is. It was a bad matchup for IU. Texas will lose to a team that is drilling from outside. if UNC doesn’t shoot well from perimeter, Texas will win today. Texas looks top 10 - better than Illinois. Texas seemed to have nightmarish length like a certain Syracuse team that ruined our dreams about 7-8 years ago. That's a real good texas team that is going to jump in the rankings big time of they finish this off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
