  1. He’s hit a couple threes, but they should be begging him to shoot more. He’s having no problem getting around our guards and to the rack.
  2. No kidding. And give him the non- center defensive assignment. Need his offense
  3. Regular foul. Let’s play. I hate replay in all sports
  4. Go to a zone if you’re just going to predictably double. Make them make another pass, at least
  5. Purdue-4.5 seems like the easiest halftime bet in the world. If we win it’llbe a dogfight

    Thanks for this. I posted about it in game with regard to the Phin, Bates, Galloway grouping. Our guys 3-9 are all pretty close. What separates them is getting to play with Race and TJD. Or even just TJD.

    Watch Phin pound the air out of the ball or watch X turn it over. Tough choice. I *think* I go with X because he can occasionally take it to the rim and finish. Also anyone that has coached or been coached has probably heard the “errors of omission vs errors of commission” spiel which X embodies. But damn if he doesn’t take it so far sometimes that you have to wonder if it’s even worth it. If this team had a top 5 in the B1G level pg it would be a consistent top 25 team and a 4/5 seed in the tourney. So frustrating to watch X and Phin struggle out there.

    Yep. The positive spin is that we’re a one-man team and we closed out a game on the road without our all American for the last five minutes.

    They’re the worst team in the B1G.

    Me either. Actually hate it. But this silvered hair ref is in the middle of every suspect call. I’m starting to not like him.

    Any decent ball handler should be able to beat their man when everyone clears out on a full ct press. Not good that we can’t

    Interesting decision to be sure. He can get crazy when he thinks it’s his game to win

    Guy is an idiot. I almost never listen to the announcers and I’m reminded why tonight

    Good sequence there to go from 4 back to 8. Kept playing hard on defense.

    They had the profile of one of our good half’s. If so we’re screwed. We need to keep turnovers down

    Good lord. Good stretch of basketball tuned with two back to back turnovers kicked off by TJD. This needs a lead ball handler so bad it hurts sometimes

    Yep. By the whole team really.

    Welp…this is where having a ten man rotation comes in handy i guess

    I guess I’mold school….T him up, shoot fts and play. I don’t like to see guys ejected for that

    The consternation about our backup guards is funny when they do about as well as the starting guards when they get to play with race and tjd. Classic plus-minus fallacy

    Xs turnovers are so brainless. I can’t anymore…
