I just was super impressed with Ballo. I refuse to believe that was the same player that transferred from Gonzaga. TJD has had some coaching turnover which hasn't helped, but he's had such a great career for IU it's hard to not think what could have been if he had a jumpshot. His game desperately needs it or finding 2-3" if he wants to sniff the next level

That game is a perfect example for TJD needing a jumpshot. He's just not the kind of player to consistently bang with a 7'0" 260lb-er all game. He had a really good stretch to end last season, but he didn't stand a chance tonight and they were daring him to shoot when he caught it off the block. Where has the IU player development been? 'Zona has 6 Euro guys and they looked to be incredibly skilled

Yuk, Gunn barely finding rim Need some serious shooting and size and we are losing a ton for next year. Don't want to think that far ahead yet, but Zona put two guys into the first round last year and they don't look to be missing a beat. Not sure IU has anywhere close the ability to reload like that next season

I get the impression Arizona places a high emphasis on player development and are quite successful at it

Ballo is owning TJD down there on the offensive glass. Reneau fronting his man really well and our AA just ghosting us down there

Interesting to me to see how much Woodson runs Reneau this half

Pretty fast break from IU

That long awaited mid-range game from TJD would be a welcome debut tonight

Love Race and TJD, but having skilled 7'0" is such a difference maker. Arizona looks to have about 3 of them

Wish IU had a guy like Ballo. Pretty skilled and agile for his size

The Rutgers game we gave up offensive rebounds due to lack of putting a body on people. Tonight, it doesn't make much difference. Their size is a major issue

Crean give some coaching lessons to Woodson this week? TJD playing the point forward tonight?!?

I did, it was pretty foolish, but it stated in the gamethread

Wow, TJD really just getting punked by Ballo

Hell, a UNC win this season had people talking an IU final four and national championship. Quite the difference a week makes

IU has some very good 6'9" college players Arizona has some very good 7'0" college players IU looking scared and just plain unathletic next to these guys. Shots don't start falling soon, this one is going to national TV embarrassment

What’s Dolson going to do? He gave Allen this stupid extension, why would he do any better making a new hire?

I think the shots and shooting was fine and will come and go regardless. The problem was just the lack of finding a man when the shot went up. No excuse for Rutgers to get 17 offensive rebounds. The first 12 or 13 came in the first 20 minutes? Calls being made depending on where the game is held in the conference is one thing, but I saw plenty times guys just watching the ball rather than finding a man

Crean also had a guy switch shooting hands in between seasons and never found a point forward he didn't like. Really want to go back to that?

Bates and Geronimo have been looking to box someone out all afternoon. Can't find anyone

What money is available? IU had to beg donors to just fire the OC last season, replace him with a runoff at Umass. IU really have money to buy out Allen then pry Deion away? Something to envision in the new college football video game which looks more likely for 2024

Deion?? I’ll have some of whatever you’re smoking

Gunn and JHS need more X in their game and take it to the rim

I thought that's what I heard as well

Solid Gunn minutes
