I believe this one comes down to being able to defend without fouling, not allowing runs, and making them pay for how they defend the post. It would be great to get some off ball action when the ball enters the post as I think Race fed off those easy buckets last season and it would give Kopp, Johnson, Bates, and others that much more room to shoot or drive. It seems the handful of times we’ve had good runs against quality competition this season have come from making threes. I believe that’s in part because our defense hasn’t been able to string as many stops together without fouling. As someone above mentioned, a great opportunity this weekend.

Why cap it? It’s not like all programs followed the rules when they were stricter. What makes you believe they would follow a cap? Who will enforce it? Funny the article mentioning over and over the collectives not talking to CTA about players because that would “violate rules.” Not that it would matter much but love the little inject of Indiana being goody two shoes. You don’t have to tell us we can see it on the field. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It’s been a joke on here for frustrated fans (imagine that, fans staying with the program after it’s SUCKED for the past two seasons) to vent. Why would you tell fans to move on? If every frustrated fan that mocked an IU or Allen phrase actually moved on we’d have a dozen fans in the stands and 50,000 in the tailgate fields. Move on, ha! That’s some good ish just like the “let me and the squad diss on the team but let’s not make this about how bad the program sucks.” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That’s kind of the problem with our “toughness” in the recent past. We think our toughness is just physicality which is leading us to fouling but it’s much more than just the physical contact aspect of it. Again, it has to do with leadership. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That's rough. Heck of a season. Way to represent IU.

And this is how you officiate if you don't care about the health of the players. That was awful.

Damn, dude got up!

Yes, it was close. Looked like he got in front of him but not sure he got ball.

That was an interesting sequence

Still time for another one!!! Let's get this in regulation

We gotta make something happen on these set pieces

Terrible, hoping for nothing but the best. Ditto, rcs. I've had extensive lifesaving training in the past but basic CPR can be the difference in life or death and doesn't require much time/effort. I believe the classes are relatively cheap too.

UNC was #1 and now they're MIA.. college basketball

No CPR in those 10-15 minutes?

A coach is charged with assaulting a family member and we've turned to how that might help us with recruiting, seems reasonable...

Story breaks - people jump to conclusions without knowing the facts. This is not to downplay domestic assaults or choking a MFer if that is the case. Choices have consequences but due diligence is needed to assess and analyze. If he was in the wrong he should be punished.

Big 1.o officials are broken. "He was attempting to go over but cracked him in the jaw so it's just a common foul." WTF Just say you didn't want to call a Wiscy player for a flagrant 1 or you wanted to up the FRANCON level.

We've been fouling at a high clip too. The officials have changed but we continue to foul. We can blame it on the Big 1.o or whatever but it remains an issue. We have to clean that up along with rebounding. We've given up several O rebounds on FTs, that's not good.

A Big 1.o struggling on offense, shocking

Forgot to give props to Xavier. They attacked the rim with the game tied late and left with the win. I guess they weren't featured on Sportscenter so did they really win?

It's crazy to see how much talent Arizona lost from last season and how good they are this season. Solid program

Missing JHS definitely hurts. There is a reason he starts and plays so many minutes. I don't think it's the reason we lost at Rutger or against Arizona. Rutger mucked up the game and frustrated TJD while Arizona had the bigs to matchup with TJD. Who knows with a freshman on the road or in a big game like this whether he would have made enough positive plays to keep it within single digits. His defense is definitely missed but that doesn't help Gallo getting beat on a back cut, Kopp not being able to stay in front of his man, Race giving up back cuts, and us being unable to rebound. TJD came out of the game in the first half and the e and e completely changed. We started flying around and getting scrappy. TJD when things are going well he is fantastic. TJD when playing against similar or smaller size is fantastic. TJD when going up against size hasn't been great. Maybe JHS playing helps XJ who needs to figure out what's going on and start leading this team. When he goes this team goes. When TJD and XJ both are just there we can get taken to the woodshed by good to great teams. Are we a skilled team? Are we a team trying to out-athlete other teams? Are we a team that is incredibly disciplined and will beat you that way? What is our identity?

I didn't say we would win, just we have a better chance in that one. Arizona does a lot of the things we want to do they just do them better and have more talent. 2-2 in our recognizable noncon games. We snagged the bottom 2 of those and still think we have a punchers chance at the Phog. If we start like we did today or TJD just disappears we'll get blasted.

Out rebounded, committed more fouls, and they converted on our TOs. That was the game.
