And our coach needs to stop telling kids its ok to shoot 0-X or 1-9. That’s categorically not ok

Shooting is a joke. I don’t know how you keep an IU scholarship and shoot less than 30% from 3 as a guard

All their points coming off offensive rebounds. Gotta stop going for off ball/weakside blocks and block out. Mental mistakes are why this isn’t already a 16-20pt lead.

This is the best energy I’ve seen this team start a game with all season. If we can clean up the turnovers and keep up the effort it’s gonna be a long day for Sparty

Joe Milton (UM Starting QB) enters the portal. Puts a ton of pressure on Cade McNamara who really only played two full games against Rutgers & Penn St (where he struggled) last season....or JJ McCarthy to live up to the hype. Pretty small QB room for them.

Effort in the second half, especially from the guards, was night and day from the first half. Far from great basketball but good enough to win. Good job fellas

Unbelievable...that can’t happen

A TON of success on the baseline tonight so far. Makes me wonder why we’ve been such a top of the key oriented team all season

Apparently Galloway isn’t allowed to take 3’s anymore because he’s passing them up each time he gets the ball

Hunter is starting to give me Rod Wilmont vibes...Nooooo.....Nice Shot (takes a deep breath)

Get Al off the god damn court. My god...how does Archie tolerate that kind of effort?

Hopefully that tranlates to better on ball defense because our guards are getting smoked thus far.

He’s figuring out a back injury. Those are hard to conquer and even harder to play through.

It’s easy to finish around the rim when IU’s guards don’t rebound and give up wide open layups...not that our layups were contested

You can’t run the ball when your QBs can’t throw the ball

I feel bad for TJD. He joined a roster full of guards who simply can’t distribute the ball and play at a high level. I wonder how good he’d be with a team around him and a coach who can dial up an offense

I’d just love to see a game where more than two guys show up ready to play.

Calm yourself

Absolute insane take if you think NW’s recruit classes and overall talent levels are on par with IUs and I guarantee you Archie himself would agree, they aren’t. Two of their last four classes ranked dead last in the conference and they’re never better than the middle. I don’t know what your attributing to Archie for the end of the game success (Al’s free throws going in? Hunter’s broken play despiration 3?) but a vastly less talented team (who already beat us on our own floor) almost beat us again if not for their foul trouble in the first half especially and missing a ton of open shots. As for Archie “drawling up out of bounds plays out of time outs”...that’s the responsibility of his assistants. He doesn’t even weigh in on them.

I couldn’t disagree more. They had foul trouble which hampered them throughout the game and their best shooters went cold. Archie’s coaching didn’t cause them to miss wide open shots. We won this game due to a very random uptick in free throw percentage coupled with a prayer 3pt make by Hunter. Collins didn’t coach NW any different than their win in Bloomington, it was simply an off shooting night for them. What did Archie do to take away anything they wanted to do? What did he do to promote our offensive sets? I must be missing something here

Collins can coach Archie into the fetal position covered in tears. What he can’t do is recruit at a level high enough to continuously complete in the BigTen. Would that change if he came to Bloomington? I really don’t know but he took thee cellar dweller program of the conference and made them competitive even with budget bin recruits. You give this team to a Chris Collins or Matt Painter and it would be top 10 in the country and it wouldn’t have the gaps in shooting and 7 footers we currently “enjoy”. Point is, it’s not right to call a guy a dud when he can’t serve you caviar and fillet because he works at McDonald’s

Kenpom and his BS system can go pound sand. I’m sure we would have dropped 10 spots with a 1pt loss.

There’s a couple I wouldn’t mind moving on but there’s no reason to name names or even blame them for that matter. It’s Archie’s job to put a winning team on the floor with recruiting and player development. It’s not like we’re wasting talent on the bench right now.

Why are we calling timeout?

Jump stop, pump fake there gets an easy layup but what do I know
