That last possession was an abomination but I’m not mad about being down 2 at half.

Kopp is allergic to big games.

We look awful in every single way possible.

I like us here. Think we have the better players and the better coach. Miller needs star power and doesn’t have it. Our depth will wear them out. IU: 83 Xavier: 69

They’ve had 10-12 points of absolute prayers they’ve thrown up and fallen in.

TJD has pogo sticks for legs. Incredible really.

JHS didn’t kick his leg out. Watch it closely and the defender swept his leg out.

I clearly started this shooting streak… you’re all welcome.

How are we still a poor perimeter shooting team?

Reneau might be my favorite player.

Yikes.

The culture around the program has changed dramatically in the last 2 years. Has a completely different feel this year even compared to last. Great leadership in place.

Don’t get me wrong, my preference is to land Flory. He’s elite and would put us in a very good position to be competitive next year. I just don’t see us having a realistic chance at landing either of those two you named. Hope I’m wrong. I’m just more optimistic about our team after seeing Reneau and Duncomb. Reneau is the real deal. Duncomb seems to have developed nicely. Hopefully he can get some meaningful mins this year to continue his upward trajectory. I’m far less concerned about the frontcourt today, than I was prior to this last game. Excited to see these guys stack up against more formidable competition.

I’m not too terrified at the thought of having a frontcourt of Duncomb and Reneau. Depth is an issue but I think that combo can hold the fort.

Reneau looks like an upper classman out there. My excitement for the season is increasing. Kid has to be on the floor. Makes winning plays.

Reneau has great footwork. He’s touched almost every missed shot

Not a college bball guy but my fave is Mike Tirico.

Not bad. I’m pretty critical of this program and I truly believe that this years team, based off of roster construction, is a top 5-8 team.

I hate Michigan more than I hate Purdue. I cannot stand when Michigan comes into indiana and steals our talent. 10 times out of 10, when we miss on a recruit, id rather them choose Purdue over Michigan.

I’m with you here. I’m less concerned with the defense out of Kopp’s position than I am the scoring. Kopp was an absolute liability on both ends during the tournaments. At this stage in his career, he’s a known commodity. Bates, IMHO needs Kopp’s minutes for us to really reach our potential.

Wow…. This is TERRIBLE!

I’m really hoping to see Tamar Bates in the starting lineup over Miler Kopp. Bates showed flashes of a higher ceiling than Kopp when he got more than spot minutes. Kopp just doesn’t move the needle for me at all. I see a lot of what we saw last season from him.

All good man. No worries

How so?

My gut tells me that we have no shot at this kid. Anything can happen, I suppose. We have to throw our hat in the ring and give it hell but it’s most likely a lost cause.
