Blackmon_for_3

Terrible 2 possessions by Green. Crops court passs gets stolen then come back and air balks a floater leading to an Illinois 3

So their 7 footer switches off on Green and he doesn’t drive on him but instead throws a last pass to the wing. Come on guys

I don’t know why we are chucking up 3s relentlessly

McRoberts doing McRoberts things

I really wish our guys would be more aggressive and attack this pressure.

Under Armour or Jordan. I like the idea of the kids getting to wear custom retro Jordan’s. All red Air Jordan 12s would look awesome. I also really like the Notre Dame under armour stuff.

The only question I had and it was answered last year. Does Crean have a winning record last year with the roster we had? The answer is not a chance. Archie did the best he could with what he had including Freddie McSwain playing the 5 after Davis tears his Achilles. Archie then put together a really nice recruiting class. So far we have seen teams that get better as the season goes on, and this year’s results are still to be determined but i like the direction we are heading. Archie really knows the type of player he wants in his system and I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to an Archie team that has juniors and seniors that were recruited and developed under Archie. That will give a full picture of an Archie Miller IU team. Like many others Archie wasn’t at the top of my list but he fits because he knows basketball. It’s refreshing to listen to a no BS coach who can talk coherently about the game, his players, the struggles and successes without babbling on. I’m on board the IU train and I’m hoping it’s heading for greatness.

So I’ve seen enough from Clifton. Leave Smith on the bench lol

Devonte came to play

Smith jumping back really high in the middle of the lane just to barely hit rim. Oh boy. Smh

Seriously what is wrong with this team?

Also why is that ball not going to Morgan in the post? WHy in the world are we going to Smith in the post and leaving Morgan on the perimeter?

I really don’t know what is wrong with Smith. Is there something going on in his personal life because he just looks distracted.

How many assistant coaches do we have? Is there anyone who can teach these guys how to screen and shoot free throws?

They calling the tick tack stuff and ignoring the obvious contact.

Al is finishing so much better at the rim this year.

I got a feeling our games are going to be grinders this year.

Take that circus shot back to the bench Smith

And welcome to Big Ten officiating

If we could ever sustain defensive intensity and add some offensive flow we could be very good. We are still finding ways to kill momentum

And Phinisee with a great play as I’m typing

Our defense just has to get better or we are in trouble.

I’m liking Al’s focus and intensity early on.

The only positive I have seen the second half is Archie sticking Smith on the bench and leaving him there

Yea not seeing that foul on Phinisee
