IUFAN1976

Very true and it seems we all may lose sight of that! I’ve got a feeling this roster will be much improved my year 3!

Some of them shouldn’t be starting either.

Whatever happen to TJD stepping out on the perimeter. Cockburn gave him that wide open look from 12-15 and Trayce didn’t even look that way.

They just put us in our place! We played horrible the 2nd half. It definitely puts things in perspective with our team! I thought the game changed when Stewart missed a 3 with a 4 point lead, they promptly hit 2 in a row to take the lead. We couldn’t get our inside game going and did nothing from deep. Kopp is useless if he doesn’t shoot and hit 3’s!

Why does Trayce not play well against Kofi or any other big that’s bigger than him? these refs suck! Is it my imagination but does Underwood argue every call against his team? I would start Race against Kofi to start the 2nd half. GO HOOSIERS!!!!

Is that a bad crew?

I think many of us on here want to see us ranked

I think Race is the wildcard. If he can continue hitting 3’s, that will really open things up! Also, his ability to post will help too. Bench play, I say Bates and/or Geronimo

One big advantage we have over Illinois is our bench. We can use our bench to wear Illinois down. Their starters played at least 33 minutes, that could affect them Saturday.

Kensucky is and always be pure hatred for me but since we don’t play them, may hatred for them has slightly taken a rest. Turdue #2, like you pure hatred but respect their program! MSU, hate Izzo Ohio St, because of their football Illinois, just because close behind Wisky but only because we haven’t won up there.

I seen that! That would be cool if we did play them in the Elite 8 and we knocked them off to reach the Final 4. We can dream, can’t we?

I always want to beat Purdue but Illinois is right behind, I can’t stand their coach.

By that our best lineup is TJD, Race, X, Gallo, and Bates

6 years ago, seems longer than that! It still is too long!

IU is now up to #5 in the B10 power rankings. The last time we were in the top 5 was probably the Zeller, Yogi, VO team, but there maybe another team I overlooked. I just know this is an area we haven’t seen for awhile. GO HOOSIERS!!!

I remember that! It’s almost like he was a micro-manager. He screwed up his team’s confidence

Here is a little tidbit of information on Lander. He played 10 minutes against Maryland and was productive for the most part. Defense seemed a little better albeit it could have been from Maryland being lifeless. However, the thing that CMW wants to see out of Lander is him running the floor, that he can run the offense without looking over to CMW for directions. I for one have seen him do this and I think that started under Archie Miller. It seemed as though all of the guards did it when Miller was the coach. Lander has an opportunity to play more minutes, that is something we all can look it to see if there is improvement. For those of who couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t getting minutes, now you know!

That must have been to that fantastic scouting report and preparation

Exactly!!! They are all doing their jobs. If Phinesee hadn’t gotten hot and had a more normal game for him, we lose that game. We are 16-5 and I am sure each assistant has contributed to every win and every loss. We as fans shouldn’t read too much into it and leave it up to Dolson and Matta!

IMO, if Dolson is still the AD, he wants someone with IU roots, that includes playing for them. They got away from that and look where it got them.

Dog House

Well I stand corrected.

Obviously you weren’t around to watch the Bob Knight era during the 70’s-mid 90’s, that was the norm for his teams to improve throughout the year and peak at the right time of the year. I don’t expect anything less than that from this staff

TJD isn’t staying. Race and X probably

Nice win! Good to see Lander get some action but still has trouble keeping guys in front of him on D without fouling. TJD should have had 25 but missed a lot of close range shots. Race keeps getting better and better. X is starting to play with composure and has quit playing dumb. His assist to turnovers has been outstanding lately. The G’s well. Overall a nice road win, much needed. It is nice to see a team keep improving this time of year instead of packing it in! GO HOOSIERS!!!!
