NIT Round 2 Game Thread - IU vs. Arkansas | 3/23 (Sat.) @Noon (ET) on ESPN

Believe they are dead wrong on why Morgan shot free throws there.  Believe the rule in the NIT is that you shoot free throws on the second foul in the last two minutes of a half.

I believe you’re right and Dan was dogging on the crowd about the number of fouls to shoot FTs earlier in the game.

Just to take the human element out of it (as far as starting the clock the instant the ball is touched), there should be a rule that if there's .07 of a second or less left, the only thing you can do is tip the ball. You cannot catch and shoot the ball in .06 seconds. It's not humanly possible. 

I assume you meant .7 and not .07.  The rule on tips I believe is that you can't shoot with under .3.  I do think it is possible to catch and shoot it with .7.....however, it is very likely that you are going to get more than .7 seconds to do it because of the lag in starting the clock.

He runs plenty for himself.

And the two fouls under two minute rule is a good one (I do like the NIT foul rules).  Keeps teams with 1 or 2 fouls in from the 10 to 2 minute mark from just grabbing guys on a last possession to run time down.

You’re exactly right. Was shaking my head the entire time they were saying he was in the act of shooting. You’d think they’d learn the NIT rules before going on air...

One way or another I hope Justin Smith isn’t a starter next season.

But he’ll probably still be

Hopefully Race is ready to usurp him.

That first half captured the Devonte Green experienced in a nutshell. 

It really does. Without him we are definitely losing. But if he didn't make a couple inexcusable plays alongside his good ones, we're probably up 6 or 8

If you have to handle someone with kid gloves so much that you can't pass it to him twenty-two feet from the rim because he's going to run over somebody at the rim, then that guy shouldn't be on the court.  I'm not putting that on Green.

Smith isn't a ball handler.  You can't give a non-ball handler the ball 30 feet from the rim as he's running full speed toward a defense that has 3-4 guys down there.

How many turnovers we have?

Juwan needs 1 rebound to be top 10 or possibly tied.

Unless of course, your name is Brendan Plavich and you're playing for Charlotte, in which case you can catch it, turn, dribble and shoot in that timeframe because the IU clock operator couldn't perform the simple job of pushing a button.

He does.  He does good and bad things.

That said, I'm not sure why we are so hard on him while let RP's play go.

[JSHoosier 19,559]

Smith missed that one bad.

[Whoozhers 3,638]

More Smith train wreck. Terrible.

How many times is Dakich going to mention his old high school?

[Hoosierfan2017 19,886]

So I disagree completely that the NIT is meaningless. Disappointing, yes, but not meaningless. Just look at our women's team. They won the NIT last year and now they're in the second round of the NCAA tournament despite graduating their best player.

Oh wow!  No D.
