If you didn't start before the game, then you are behind.

Great...didn't even realize that game was in Indy. Will save me the time by not watching.

Can the Hoosiers stop scheduling games in Indy? Glad the BTT is not in Indy, otherwise, we would be getting a preview. Just go ahead and hang the L and move on.

Great analysis and post. I think that De'Ron Davis and Juwan Morgan are the team's X factor. Davis has exceeded my expectations so far and if Morgan can consistently have at least half the game that he had last night, this team might have a shot at a BT title. I am still hesitsant about the team, as that IPFW loss is just sitting there leaving a bad taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of it.

i am starting to hate BTN as much as ESPN.

That is flippin' awesome.

Just finished the re-watch...a little disappointed that RoJo disappeared in the 2nd half after his blistering start. The only thing worse that IU FT shooting was UNC FT shooting. DD played some great minutes...great team D in the first half. Overall, really limited a good offensive team. I think that the team really misses CH. I feel better abount the win then I did last night. That IPFW loss still has my excitment contained. They need to beat Butler and Louisville for me to really believe in this team again.

Agreed. He seemed to get in trouble when trying to drive into the lane.

You are right...if that is the case come the end of the season, then somehting went wrong.

He did, but typically, you do not want your PG taking the most shots (I do think that Yogi was an exception). Plus I think that we have better shooters than Newkirk.

Re-watching the game...can someone explain to me why Newkirk took the most shots?

If I recall, players (not so sure about the recruits) were also on board with the Mike Davis hiring too. Let's hope this doesn't turn out the same way.

Not the first IU HC to clash with the Administration.

Guess I need to make a point to go see this kid, since he is in my area.

Got to love Memorial Gymnasium. Got to play there on a few occasions.

That is a sweet stroke. I used to have a photo of Jay Edwards that showed his form. IMO, it was probably a little better than JBJ's, but you are right, it does not get a whole lot better than that.

The D needs some...a lot...of work. Giving up 78 points and 44% FG% to a Big 10 team will get you beat more often then not.

This is going to be a good college hoops season.

Disagree on the coaching part. If it weren't for different coaching styles and different offensive and defensive schemes, the game would be boring...kind of like the NBA.

Then I am unsure as to what the problem is.

Or maybe the defensive players should move their feet and not reach...just an idea.

If UK are the #2 team in the land...I like our chances...a lot. MSU's D was not that good and UK shoots 38% Briscoe and Monk are it for UK. Briscoe can't hit a shot outside of 12 feet. Would have loved to see IU play this UK team.

That had to be tough to type.

MSU making UK look better than they are, IMO,

I say no...takes strategy out of the hands of the coaches. Also, the players have to learn how to manage those fouls.
