I was at the game today. Really liked the shorter rotation. Those 8 guys are our team against real competition, barring injuries / foul trouble. Hate the crowd transferring their anxiety to Goode. We know he can shoot. It's the third game, chill out people.

Too early to say either way if it’s a resume building win or not. Just will have to wait and see how SC does in the rest of their games and how they finish in the SEC. Last year no one had them as a tourney team to begin the year but they just kept winning. My guess when it’s all said and done it will be a solid home Q2b win. Never know though if they clip off some high end SEC teams at home that could sneak into the Q2a or even Q1b territory with some luck. Thursday game is an important game. UNC Greensboro is a solid mid major program and playing them right before the Atlantis trip could be tricky.

Cigs made an appearance at the IU Dance Marathon today. How great is it to have a coach who just gets it! (Although instead of his "GO IU" chants, he should use the more traditional "Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!" LOL) https://x.com/IndianaFootball/status/1857814853538189582

Well well well, look at us. Watching the late games on a mid November night with interest. All while discussing IUs CFP possibilities, up to and including a top 4 seed and a bye. ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?!!!

Announcement on our bye week Saturday keeps us in the news. Sends the message to every other D1 program - don't bother Recruiting targets don't have to worry that he'll be poached if they commit to IU.

She’d be willing to take a charge from him.

Nah — we’re getting him nice looks. In fact, Goode has had some truly delicious open looks and has missed and missed. But he is as proven a commodity as it gets as a wing shooter. The team is at a solid 35.3% from three and Goode will very likely end up well above the team average.

A college basketball game really shouldn’t affect my mood for a weekend. But … I’m enjoying my weekend

Asking nicely to please not start that in this thread.

I bet the True Fan certificate/ badge of honor looks great on your fridge :)

Yeah, he does reek of desperation.

Why reply twice to the same post when he hasn’t responded to you? Desperation for attention isn’t cute.

It's a bit early in the season to be calling him a bust. He's a career 38% 3-point shooter at a B1G school. So it's not like he's making a jump up in competition. It's a small number of samples so every make or miss makes a huge difference in percentage. 3 of 7, for example, is almost 43%. Would you be complaining if he had that percentage coming into this game? Yes, 2 of 10 now isn't very good but shooters can be streaky. I'm sure he'll find his shot, probably sooner than later and end up at a percentage consistent with his career so far. I would also say that he was talked about as being a good 3-point shooter, not a sharp-shooter.

In your mind has Gallo ever fouled anyone ? :)

Add in Carlye’s 12 points while Ballo (you know, the 5 that we run everything through) took a total of TWO shots. There is plenty to critique but thinking this is the same offense that continuously pounded the ball to TJD, while wings stood like statues watching him either operate within 2 feet of the basket or make a pass out of the post, is almost funny.

That’s some old school shite right there.

Did you watch the game? We play almost nothing out of the low post this year. Our bigs get touches at the elbow extended high post. That’s very different than last year.

Is this sarcastic, or a joke, or are you already sincerely calling a career 40% three point shooter a bust after taking 7 shots?

My assessment of the game: 1) 3 point shooting is better but volume is still and issue. 2) The reason why volume is still an issue is because our offense still has very little flow, everything going through the post 3) Defense is good but not great 4) After watching Purdue last night getting key defensive rebounds, other than Ballo, we have a box out problem 5) Too much standing around on offense, see point number 2 6) Mike Woodson still sucks as a coach, IMO

Torvik projects South Carolina to be 16-14, 7-11 in the SEC. The closer comparison they to them in the Big Ten this season is Nebraska. I'd be fine with a 16 point home win over Nebraska.

The QAnon thing again? Lol. The Twitter army likes that approach as well. It’s incredibly odd. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Not much I can do about that.

Playing a bunch of cupcakes during the early months doesn’t help with that either. Even when I was excited about IU basketball it was hard to lock in until January.

Even Charlie’s on board
