Kopp with 2 made 2 pointers! En fuego!!

Kopp!! Do a lot more of that!!

Is that a reviewable play? #2 was just too little for his shove to do anything

Wish XJ would slide to the corner and we bring another shooter to the wing when TJD is in the post. We just stood there.

Miller Kopp with a 2pt make!!

Agreed, getting to the line or getting some easy ones before taking GOOD shots from deep really helps.

Good half after a sluggish start, second unit got us going again.

Race just out there moving dudes out of his way.

Kopp for 3!!! And he wasn't way out of position on the other end. MVP

Great defense by Kopp on that inbound pass to force the 5!!!!

Let's hope that gets Race going!! Damn!!!

How quickly would Crean have had Reneau running as a point forward?

Good big to big pass

That's a big boy!

We have our Rebeau 3 back!! No more bigs!!

I trust Jordy Hulls shooting left handed more than any current player.

Eh, not sure we want to compare ourselves to Georgetown in this situation.

Maryland has looked pretty good against Miami

It's why analytics is such a big deal in sports and business. Collect the data, turn it into useful information, and put your players in the best situations to win (or to make the most money).

I'm good with Kopp getting run until someone unseats him, if they can. If he's hitting 40+% from deep on quantity he's an asset. If he's hitting <40% from a high volume of 2s he's not helping the team. His defense is below average. If he were a few inches taller and bulkier he could defend the 4 but he's not. To be crystal clear on all this, him lighting up bad teams is really doesn't concern me. He needs to be at his best, along with the rest of the team, when we play our most difficult opponents. Kopp going 4-5 from deep against east-west little university of the poor will only figure into outscoring them by 50 instead of 35 or whatever. Him making from deep against good competition is what matters.

Definitely agree on Race, he's off to a rough start to the year and needs to get that figured out. He's going to be left open from 3 if he continues shooting like that. I would LOVE for My bad to not only continue to shoot 58% from 3 but take more shots from there and zero from inside the arc. ~1.75 is far higher than ~.8. That is winning basketball. I believe he had a few great shooting noncon games last season too. Consistency from deep is the key here and what I've been saying for a year plus. Are you suggesting the team not learn from their mistakes? Goodness I hope Woody isn't running the program like that.

It's simple really, the more you make the right decisions the higher your chance at winning. We won a good rough game while making some poor decisions. That means we have plenty of room to grow and hopefully we're identifying what is and isn't winning basketball. Do the winning basketball things and stop doing the losing basketball things will increase your odds of winning.

Where is the Kopp hate? He is a Hoosier and hasn't done anything to hurt anyone or bring negative attention to the program. Kopp is what he is. He tried to do too much last season to the point he hurt the team. Taking 2 pointers on this squad is not the best we could be doing. I'd love to see consistent Kopp from behind the arc where teams have to mark him throughout a game. Yes, Kopp can make a play or two on defense but the stats and eye test show that he's one of the weaker defenders on this team and below average. The final point with that is when Woody had the chance to get Kopp out on the defense he brought in Gallo.
