I remember that play, completely different from the effort we showed in the first 10 minutes of the game (coincidentally whe RT was playing).

THAT is key. He was also going after rebounds hard before being tackled. Nobody grabbed the wheel and took over in his absence.

1. Losing Race will be huge. We don't have anyone that can bring close to what he does. His loss last night had a definite impact. 2. We handled the zone poorly. Partly because of how we attacked it, but also because we still don't have shooting. Kopp plays his butt off and smartly too, but he's supposed to be our best shooter. His 3-pt % is of little importance if he's not shooting. No one else is reliable from outside. 3. I really didn't like the play to have JHS drive to the bucket with 16 seconds to go, probably mostly because he couldn't convert but also it gives iowa another shot. 4. Finally, fran mccafferty is an asshoe. Plain and simple. Any other coach would kicked out of the game for the asinine behavior he repeatedly engages in. That BS at midcourt illustrates that AND what a clownshow B10 officiating is.

This guy only played for one season. He had "popeye" calves:

You're correct. I admit to being often frustrated with his shooting - not inaccuracy but low 3-pt shot attempts. He's shooting a really good % but sometimes finishes with statlines like last night. He's our 1 shooter and sometimes has a minimal point contribution. But, as you describe, he brings solid all-around play at both ends night in and night out - probably our most consistent player.

What's bad is that it seems normal, having watched us do exactly the same thing year after year.

Ah yes. Thanks.

Perhaps I missed it but did our sixth year senior, dead-eye shooter even score in the first half?

Reneau missing shots he's probably not used to missing.

Yes. That IS a hot take. lol

Pregame said TJD out because of a flare up with the back injury.

Elon shoots 3's better than IU.

23 point lead. Under 3 minutes to go and Self still playing some of his starters?

Wherever we're standing, we've got one foot on a bannana peel...

True. A physical big would be nice, too.

I *think* I've seen something about once a complaint is lodged and an arrest is made, the charges stick (perhaps to prevent coersion?). I might have seen it on "COPs" or another similar show, so don't take this as definitive.

Your takes are always gold - this one included.

IMO it'll be a small miracle if he's not fired, if for no other reason than it being located in Austin. Might this help us with Liam McNeely?

Woody is settled in now as coach, as is his staff. He's here to win and will do it with his team. Some players will need to improve or move on. Guys like JG & LD need to know that.

This game is a good guage of where the program is. Woodson has improved it immensely, but had little to start with. We're just not there yet and it's clear coach know this. He can get us there.

- AZ is really good. We're just not on their level. - Despite that, we fought til the end and made someplays. - Possibly the most poorly officiated game I've seen in years. Those 3 should be embarrassed and refuse the paycheck.

Yep. A really well constructed team for sure. They definitely spent their money wisely...

Race fell asleep and got backdoored...

That's just it. They have size & muscle to beat you inside and shooting to kill you from outside.

True. True.
