IUBB vs Princeton 11/20 @ 7 pm BTN

Brunk was a great addition to this team. His defense was on point and the points were within the offense. I especially like the way our frontcourt plays off each other. At this point, we have a very unselfish team.

Haha Princeton is 0-4 and terrible. This game proves nothing just like the first 4 and the next 2. Wait til they go to Wisconsin to see what they are made of.

Hold on now. I get what ur saying here but I wouldn’t use a road game in Madison as a measuring stick. Gonna drop that one badly. Pick another.

Princeton was 4-10 on threes in the first half, and 2-17 in the second half...pretty good defensive adjustment I would say.  

They were actually 4-14 in the first half and 2-13 in the second.

I’m not worried about Hunter. I think this guy will be here for 4 years. He’s one of those guys that will be solid as a SO and JR, and then be like All Big Ten as a SR. He reminds me of Keita Bates-Diop.

I agree with you. I still think there is a good chance of him getting his game back, after a long layoff, and really helping us this year and (as you note) go on to be very important later in his career.

That being said...after reading all the Hunter comments last season, and during this off-season, I had ranked him somewhere between Lew Alcindor and Oscar Robertson in the list of all-time best college basketball players. I now realize he is probably a couple of slots behind Bill Walton and Jordan.

How about at home vs FSU?

[RaceToTheTop 23,572]

FWIW, the largest scoring run by Princeton was 5 points.

Only got to watch the first half because I had some things I needed to get finished. Looks like I picked the wrong half to watch. Glad to see that they took care of business in the second half.

Its ok to struggle a bit against a Princeton style of play. We did what we were supposed to in the second half and pulled away.

Funny as heck. Why everyone hasn't liked this post is beyond me. I am crying laughing cause it is so true.

Kenpom overall rank of 30. 
offensive eff rank 21. 
defensive eff rank 50. 
 

Overall rank is currently 7th in the conference. But kenpom rankings are still in the early stages, but I enjoy watching the fluctuations.

I am glad we won but i do get tired of slow starts. I would love to see is come out early and smother some of these teams. Play defense so tight and aggressive all game but especially early.

I would love for an opponent to have to call early TOs to regroup his kids who have been thoroughly smothered on D.

We have done some of this in part in the second half but just a little. I want to see this team come out of that tunnel at the start with an attitude and play like this means something.

Now, I am not mad and am patient but our record this far is not impressive and we have let a lot of these teams hang around far too long.

Our defense has gotten better for the most part as the season has gone on as well as we played the starters more against the non cupcakes 

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

A 21 point half, and a 52 point game defensively just is not good enough?
