I know Freddie got fouled and I know we're getting killed, but he's GOT to finish that!

Green could be a player if you get his head on straight.

I thought I paused the game by accident when I saw the airball/rejection. Nope, separate cases.

Disagree that OSU has a better roster on paper. Almost a direct match.

You make a good argument for Holtmans ability here though.

More to the point. Our players aren't playing to their paper ranking anyway. OSU is and maybe better.

OSU has a better team. Who cares about stars or on paper. Games aren’t won on paper. Crean had a shotgun approach to recruiting and got some stars but they do not fit together as a cohesive team. It’s why you see big swings in performance. OSU under Matta recruited well, but he also built a solid team. We are seeing the results this year under Holtmann.

A thinly veiled shot at Newkirk's production.  Dakich singing Green's praises, right up until he takes the worst shot in IU history.

Unfortunately that's Green. Great play followed utter crap!

If I'm Archie, it may be time to ease up on Green and let him make his stupid mistakes. It would be different if Newkirk gave ANYTHING.. but he doesnt. Might as well just get 8 points amd 4 turnovers or so from Green this year to ride out.

Can't shoot 3s, can't shoot FTs, miss most layups!

Go IU

Two things don't live long: dogs that chase cars and teams that can't make free throws.

Smith has played flat footed all game. 

[pumpfake 3,914]

I wish we would go with the almost invisible B10 logo on our court instead of the hideous, bold version that debases it currently.

[HooHooHoo22 3,902]

If we could make 40% of our shots we would be in this game!

As horrible as we are, if we made a few layups and free throws, we’d be right in this game.

Green and McRoberts are the only ones who showed up. 

[RevBuckle 104]

If IU hits layups and free throws, this game is interesting.  Maybe not a W, but it would be real competitive.

Probably missed 5-6 layups or somewhat easy shots. We make those -- that's 10-12 points and we're looking at a ball game.

[schoosier 3,444]

We play hard so that’s a big positive. Big negative having to listen to Dakich. He hates IU almost as much as Knight. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,726]

Green proving he deserves more minutes. One of the few guys that can make plays on the team.

Lol McSwain!! If hanging on the rim after a missed dunk gave us points we’d be ahead by 20 points

Green

Rojo

McRoberts

Smith

Morgan

 

That needs to be the line-up the rest of the year. Bring Josh and Al off the bench for spotty minutes. Freddie to give Morgan / Smith a break. Moore must not be ready for the big time yet. Once Collin returns I'd have an 8 man rotation. 

[GloryDays 5,888]

Smith has more layups blocked than me playing Mark Eaton.

Smiths soft.
He'll get stronger and be a good one for us.
