I would say it’s at least debatable seeing how the guy who sees them every day in practice disagrees. I’ve defended Bates and I like the potential in Galloway and Geronimo. But minus Galloway, those other guys still have regular lapses on D. Our calling card is team defense. It’s tough to be good at team D playing young guys a lot of minutes. if Bates is a competitor and works his butt off this summer, he could see a lot of minutes next year.

I probably have as much, or more, confidence in him or Race right now as I do Kopp or Stewart. They are just struggling.

If there’s one thing that gives me confidence going forward it is what Woody did with the D. It’s not like Stewart and Kopp are great defenders either. Think if in the future we can sub those guys with some actual scorers and continue to play top 2-3 defense in the league…we could have have some good teams.

Nothing but what was done. Force a low percentage shot. If we want to whine we can do it on the other two plays we lost guys late. But the truth is that’s basketball, a culmination of good plays and some bad ones. We played well overall and came up short to a hot shooting team. A good 3 game run that got us to the tourney is something to be happy about, imo. Out of the stupid play-in games too.

I agree. Hate to keep harping on those guys (Stewart and kopp), but that’s a time and situation awareness issue. Kopp just isn’t a real smart player. The miss lead to a quick rebound and answer on the other end.

With that many timeouts i like to try and advance it to half court but it’s pretty much 1/10000 chance either way

Whatever. Lucky @$$ bs

Slop

I want to live in this timeline.

Of course that chump chokes now but hit all his shots down the stretch versus us.

MSU gonna win it. Probably the easier team for Purdue

I’m sure I’ll be mad at any future loss, but we’re hopefully in the big dance and any thing beyond that for this season is gravy.

Shoot out to Galloway for good defense and a helluva contest on that last drive by Illinois.

He’s still a little erratic at times, but mentally he’s improved considerably the last 4-5 games.

I missed that. I think it’s a good sign. Usually they take you for an mri right away if they think it’s an acl or something.

Non contact knee injury like that isn’ta good sign. Most likely tore something.

They doubled him and let Kopp have it. Underwood knew what he was doing.

Hell yea!!!! Nice win. so happy for woody and the guys to get to the tourney!

I’ve never seen two players for IU come up smaller in big moments.

Who’s the number one guy and where does he have IU?

GAME DAY!!!

Of course they weathered our second half run, tied up the game, and won in over time. Sadly….

Let’s go St. John’s!

True. Their ratio of solid fans to ****** bag players is sky high.

Credit to the guys being positive at pg 15. I caught us at the 3 min mark and still didn’t feel confident we’d win. Lol
