I prefer not calling a TO there at the end. See IU’s last game. Would’ve been under 7 seconds by the time you got the TO. We’d have to run a set. That would take time to setup. We don’t have a one-on-one guy.

How does Woodson not call a timeout after three straight buckets that cause you to lose the lead? Instead Leal gets stripped and now IU will be losing after free throws

Is there something to him being on the court, or that he was keeping bigger negatives off the court by playing?

So, like a Purdue sorority party?

My hope is Cupps ends up in his junior and senior season being a better shooting version of Aaron Craft.

Two in a row since this post. I knew he wouldn’t like the reference to Newkirk. You’re all welcome.

If JHS’ shooting continues like this, how long before we worry that we have a more talented version of Josh Newkirk.

On the ball that hit the Wisconsin player out of bounds, was the ref telling Woodson the ball went over the corner of the backboard (which would be out on IU)?

Woodson is never going to play Lander in front of Phinisee as long as Lander keeps forgetting how to run the plays called from the sideline. There’s no trust from a head coach when you see this. Lander will have to earn trust in practice or in a game where he plays as 3rd PG due to fouls or injury.

Might be a Woodson teaching moment to X about dumb fouls.

I’m wondering if Woodson was told about him by an NBA contact he has.

I originally imagined Kopp starting at the 4, but the more I think about it I’ve changed my mind. I think we’d struggle tremendously at rebounding. I’m now thinking, and voted, the following. PG - Xavier Johnson, SG - Parker Stewart, Wing - Miller Kopp, PF - Race Thompson (assuming can shoot at 30+% from three), and C - Trayce Jackson-Davis.

But it’s the same roster that lost to North Texas. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be good, but I can’t see them being #1.

In a non-pandemic year, look at a UCLA crowd at a home game. We are definitely not UCLA.

While I don’t think you could call that a technical in this game, I would like it to be a technical starting next year. To me it’s either taunting a defender or showing up a ref. I’m so tired of hearing players scream it.
