Where has this Rob been??

This is the Rob we need game in and game out

[Rev_AK]

It’s getting to the point that it’s becoming more of a fascination than a source of frustration... but, i know have seen several point blank misses. Two by Trayce, two by Hunter. I can’t remember the last time an IU team shot the lights out. I have seen other games this year that were offensive garbage. I think the defense is great, the effort is pretty good most games. These guys just cannot shoot the ball. Phin coming alive is a good sign. Maybe they can prove me wrong?

I want to see a replay, didn't look like Geronimo fouled Kofi

It’s ok...I like him being aggressive.

I like that, too, but it'd be nice if he'd hit some of them. Or even the rim.

can't just give Geronimo a shot in a huge game with a 3 point difference

Take out Hunter

If you take out a kid every time he misses then maybe that would be why they don’t have confidence to shoot. I’m glad he gave him a leash.

[tdhoosier]

Rob, that’s all you have to do....get in the lane...take the shot or get the defense to collapse. 

[Hippopotamo]

Brunk would be very useful this game 

[Parakeet Jones]

If this comes down to a last shot situation, it has better be TJD in the paint or Armaan taking it.

He got him on the wrist...still better to make him earn the points.

Cock burn isn’t that all impressive. He is a poor man’s Garza.

Can poor men only score within 2 feet of the basket?  I wouldn't put him in the same stratosphere of skill.

not the time to put Geronimo in

I like it. TJD needs to sit for a few and Hunter is playing poorly, why not see if a guy who can bring energy can get us through a few minutes?

That’s true but at some point it’s not confidence, it’s skill set or lack there of.

If only we had an experienced backup 5 that could play a role here

Here kid, welcome to the B1G.  Now go guard a real life Easter Island head.

If only that was aimed directly at me 😂 

[go_iu_bb]

Is the 3 seconds in the lane no longer a thing? Cockburn has a tent set up in there.

[IowaHoosierFan]

We have a chance to pull away here

[Hoosierfan1901]

Franklin 3!

AF should never leave the floor

Nobody even in the same area code.

Just having some fun, I knew you'd see that post.
