This is my first post since returning from the game (got in about 1:30 am this morning and went to bed). The team looked completely out of sync all night long. The first or second offense possession of the game was a two on one (Yogi and TW), and Yogi tries to dump to Troy, but he had hesitated a split too long and TW was already going up for the put-back. The ball bounced off of Troy's knees and out of bounds. Turnover. There were a couple of passes to phantom IU players resulting in over and back violations. Troy continually missed at the rim (again).
Yogi. Geez, I love this guy. Arguably the best PG IU's ever had, but he's not clutch. I feel like there's still one more level to Yogi that we're not seeing. Coaching? Possibly (save it for a different thread). Maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there? Possible also.
Oh and I don't recall who posted it in the game thread, but TB totally looks like an 80 yr old arthritic man when running down the court. I was rolling when I read that last night. Does he seem to complain about calls a lot? There was one play where he could have grabbed the ball but was too busy complaining (luckily TW was there to grab it). I'm not saying that his complaints are always unjustified, but quit freaking moaning and play basketball.
BJC is a really nice venue to watch a game. I'd highly recommend it if given the chance. Tickets are inexpensive, it's easy to get in and out of, parking is cheap, and the fans are friendly and engaging. Aside from the outcome, a great experience overall.
