We are better than all 5 and only 2, maybe 3 of them are even tourney teams. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Smith actually had a good game. They just focused in on him defensively and he didn’t force anything. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Rough game but 6-0 we are. Should 7-0 going into the FSU game which will be the toughest game we have in the non-conference slate. UConn will be feisty though. I think we can beat Wisconsin as well if we don’t make stupid mistakes but you’ll be playing 5 on 8 there. We will fly into the state of Wisconsin and everyone will already have 3 fouls.

This is the first game where we’ve looked way worse than we did in the first half. This has been awful. Gotta get their heads outta their butts. This can quickly become an upset. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Rough for KState. Pitt is not good. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

OSU playing sloppy and motionless on offense. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Gonna have to hit some 3’s tonight. They’ll probably be doubling and tripling in the post. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Must dominate the boards on both sides. Team is small. No reason we shouldn’t have a large rebounding advantage. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Same. But I hope MSU and Izzo lose every game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m not complaining. But I do think a little more speed would help this set of players. This team could honestly cause more turnovers and get more steals really if they played the passing lanes more and we are at 7.0 per game over last years 6.5. Extra possessions that way are big. Our size also has us at 8.0 extra scoring chances per game. Which is 30th nationally. Last year we were at -0.2. I think we could do better on the defensive boards, especially considering the teams we’ve played. We give up 7.2(70th) offensive boards this year, which is better than last years 8.5.

And we are at 70 possessions per game which is 259th. We are scoring 1.003 points per possession which is 24th. We are getting 7.0 steals a game which is 136th. Steals per defensive play is at 9.1% which 112th and steals per possession is at 10% which 113th. So those aren’t bad numbers. I do think the offense could be sped up a bit which would really help keep the defense off balance and would be good for drives to dump off or lob to TJD, Smith, Brunk, Thompson and Davis.

Does it really impact it though? If it’s a shooting foul, are they getting fouled on a 2pt shot or a 3? If they are shooting 2’s anyways then it has no impact on possessions where we’d shoot 3’s. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’ll put this here rather than clog up the Leal thread. Indiana 3pt stats 35.4% which is good. The problem hasn’t been making them this season though. 3pt makes per game: 5.6 which is 280th nationally. 3pt attempts per game: 15.8 per game which is 331st per game. 3pt rate is 27.1% which is 332nd in the nation. There are 353 teams in D1 b-ball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Sure. But if it’s only 5 makes a game... it seems insignificant, but even 7 or 8 makes is a big difference. Just like last season, we hit just a few more FT’s a game and we would have been a tourney team. It seems insignificant but causes a much bigger change.

Yea... refs in the first half were pretty trash though. Dayton probably could have stabbed someone and gotten away with it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Dayton is basically getting away with murder on half these plays. This officiating is pretty embarrassing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Georgia isn’t playing great, but Dayton is getting away with a lot of physicality and has gotten away with a lot of fouls. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yea... yet the offense has looked best this season when it’s been sped up. So it’s kind of odd to not want this team going a bit. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

But when 2 of your 3 best players either play in the paint or slash and score in the paint, the space is needed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Phinisee isn’t there yet. He’s still looking pretty rough. But it might be time to move Green into the starting lineup over Franklin. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
