I was pretty miffed during the game as I saw one team with considerable skill (IU) play an unskilled team (Ark).
IU desperately needed Green tonight to handle the ball. It was painful watching DemeZi and Al dribble and try and make things happen.
No offense to Ark but they have one good player surrounded by utility guys. Disapppinted that the more skilled team lost.
To IU’s credit they hung tough through a 2nd half deficit and easily could have won there at the end. Refs should never call a tickytack foul like that at the end of a game. That’s just kind of shameful. But, whatever. Sour grapes.
Kind of puzzled why Davis and even Moore wasn’t used more of their big. Morgan is all of 6’7...seemed like we could have used Moore at least situationally throughout the game.
This team needs Green to step into a leadership/vocal role of some kind when he comes back. Morgan I know is our guy but we need a guard in that role too imo. Maybe Phinisee by next year..?
Not impressed with Ark. we shoulda had this game, dangit...
good experience though...
