BASKETBALL IS UGLY in 2021-22.

Not much different than the teams we have beaten by 20, 30, 40.

It's basketball. Syracuse and Whisky did the same thing, alas, they were home and won. Maybe focus is a better word than effort. Being there would be how UNC, Michigan and a ton of other teams have played.

How can we lose on double ot, lose by 5, lose by 3 and "just be there"?

Absolutely not! You think Steve Alford, Darrell Thomas et el, became a championship team in a vacuum in 1986-87? Sure adding Smart and Garrett after '86 helped, but you don't get to say a lesson in 1985 can't pay dividends in 1987. WE DON'T KNOW!

Who knows if it worked? Most of those freshman and Sophomore were instrumental in the 1987 title run. Impact doesn't have to stop at season's end.

70-66 Indiana

70-67 Hoosiers

We want guys who see the court.

We will play anyone, anytime, anywhere, except Indiana, at Indiana, anytime - Coach Calward

also says 6-11 from 3 for CJ.

if either are true. That should be the last game either of the guys ref.

2nd unit is something I've always hated about the NBA. I think it might take a bit (hopefully it comes) for Coach Woodson to never have a lineup before the 5 min mark of the 2nd half that doesn't have 1 or 2 starters, unless foul trouble or other things dictate it. Few teams have a 2nd 5 that can extend a lead against a team trying to come back, if you give them the last 10 min of each half, until crunch time.

I don't blame him. I'd want Izzo to leave me alone, also.

Instantly my 1st thought

I think when TJD came out in the 2nd half, the intention was for him to be finished for the game. Those extra minutes came because of the lack of lead maintenance by the bench.

78-58 Hoosiers

I think his inability to get the team into the offense on the last possession of regulation against SoreExcuse is what put Lander in the doghouse.

I doubt Calward thought that would be the case.

Might be a good option as long as he's ready academically. As was mentioned elsewhere, he'll be 19 in 2 weeks, so a reclass wouldn't be the same as Lander.

New Big with Indiana interest. 6'9" PF from Denver.

Indiana 73-63

Those were the exact comments on Trevion, barely getting 2 inches off the floor. Every time I watch him play I'm reminded of the jokes when he committed to PureDoo..

Here's a Jakai-light video from Fridays game.

IIRC, he was the leading scorer on the Indiana all-stars, that season.
