    Not a popular opinion but outside of the last 2 minutes Phinisee was horrible, and if Green plays like this against the good teams we won’t win. He’s headache inducing and head scratching with the ball sometimes but we need him. Best passer and shooter on the team

    Agreed. I’m pretty confused by all the compliments going his way tonight. He led the team in TOs and fouls while playing absolute garbage on ball defense and contributing nothing on offense until the last couple minutes where he had a couple nice passes. Al penetrated the zone where Green tried to shot over/pass through it and Rob stood around and passed along the perimeter. What we needed from the guards was dribble penetration, spacing from the bigs on the paint.

    Yeah was in attendance so didn’t notice that particular exchange, but before Justin went back in him and Archie were talking and it didn’t seem like 2 guys on different pages

    Nah. Better than Green I guess but Rob isn’t right. Not even that good on defense anymore. Can’t beat anyone off dribble. Can’t shoot. Has dribbling violations.

    Of our options, i guess but he isn’t the answer.

    I think Rob Phinisee has to play starter minutes.
    We need him to be right; he's the guard that can break down defenses and dish better than the others.

You have a provided this old man with wonderful discussion, debate, and dedication to IU basketball and athletics which I have thoroughly enjoyed.

    Never a Christmas morning

    Well I have seen a lot of people say we suck. Guess it’s a good year to suck cause there is no team that scares me and any team can beat any team on a given night and we are 10-1 without a loss to a cupcake. We have to play better but I agree with I think LIHoosier last night. Everyone is just waiting for the trainwreck to occur that they can’t enjoy being 10-1. That was the worst 2-0 week I can recall, but we are 10-1 and not 8-3. We have to play better. Will we? I don’t know, but I look forward to next Saturday.

    Good thing it’s not the end all be all. Each committee member can take into account whatever metric they feel is important when each team comes up during the selection process. If the NET was the end all like you feared then NC State, Indiana, Clemson and Texas would of probably got a bid instead of Belmont, Temple, and St Johns. St Johns got in with a NET 73. Clemson and NC State got left out with 35 and 33 NET. Since they had IU in the first 4 out if it was about dollar bills shouldn’t they of just switched Belmont out for IU since they were close? I totally agree with you that the high major teams have an advantage over mid major teams during the selection process but that’s not a NET problem that’s a ncaa tournament selection problem that’s been going on since the beginning.
