I disagree about Rob's basketball IQ. Low turnover numbers is not the same as high basketball IQ. He has always been passive and not stressed the defense. He rarely gets himself or the ball into positions that will break down the defense. Only taking what the defense gives you, and not being an aggressor, is a sign of low basketball IQ. He's like a QB who only throws check down passes. Maybe the basketball IQ is there but he lacks the confidence to make the necessary plays. Either way, there's always been something missing, and at this point I don't know if it's going to be fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think people are overreacting to this as an "embarrassing" loss. Indiana should have won last night. The first half performance was terrible, and they needed to put it away when they went up 54-50. It's a bad loss because they put themselves in position to win and didn't close it out. But Northwestern is 5-1 with their lone loss by 1 point to what appears to be a solid Pittsburgh team. They just blew out Michigan State. We'll see how it goes the rest of the season, but Northwestern might be pretty good. That's not excusing the loss or saying that we should be happy with it. Indiana needs to be able to win those games. The guards need to show up. There are certainly big issues that need to be fixed. But I just don't think that losing to this Northwestern team is the end of the world like losing to a Northwestern team of 10 years ago would have been. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good win today. Texas is up 12 at halftime on North Carolina. Yesterday's loss was bad, but Texas might be a lot better than we realized. Good to see them bounce back and play tough after getting worked yesterday. -

Stanford lost by 4 to UNC. They're a pretty good team -

Right. He's obviously extremely skilled, so it sounds a lot easier than it is to take away his left hand. But I think I would completely overplay it and just live with whatever he makes going right. When he's playing like this, he's unstoppable if he gets it where he wants it. -

I'm not complaining, but I don't understand how teams let TJD get to his left shoulder so often. He has no right hand. -

That last one went right through Rob's hands
