you could point out a bad defensive play by someone on almost every possession. 

Watch Blackmon specifically. Happens far too often with him. And the assertion that he is better at D than anyone currently in the NBA is laughable

That's distorted by the fact that they played together for 3-4 minutes. Green would be likely over 20 and Newkirk under -10.

we're up 7 points at home against the worst team in the conference. That is not a high level. 

This is a high level for this team.

It's time to face the fact that Newkirk was a mistake. For right now anyway. His play continually stinks up the joint.

Maybe give him 3-4 minutes here and there to give the other guys a blow, but his 14 minutes so far is too many for him in a game, let alone a half.

Kinda ugly first half against the quality of our opponent. Bordering on Butt Ugly. We need a leader in the worst way. Right now I'd vote for Green.

No kidding.

Green and Davis must suck in practice or something, they both should be  getting way more time on the floor.

At least we didn't put in McSwain and McRoberts for too long though, although the latter gave us a solid minute of play.

Green needs more minutes and needs to start! He is the PG for this team hands down!

We heard all summer about how great he looked. I wonder who the competition was.

He had a solid pass to that booster in the third row though...

In all seriousness, glad to see the turnovers down. Now if we get better shot selection we'll be moving in the right direction. I do like seeing Green, JBJ, and RoJo take that one rhythm dribble for a long two. They seem to hit that at a much higher rate.

Substitutions... how does Crean not see IU dominating with Davis in the game? Maybe start Davis and bring Bryant off the bench after he's seen the flow of the game? Green has had a stellar first half and I think it could be the norm if he got more minutes. The kid doesn't lack confidence, vision, play making ability, shoots better than Newkirk, etc.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,025]

Newkirk to start the half lol. Crean with another relapse. Ugh. 

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

hope this Blackmon shooting slump doesn't last long. 

[Whoozhers 3,638]

We've criticized Newkirk and he's had a couple good plays. Let's keep it up. Maybe he'll score a boat load of points!

Thank you, I confess I've been following along here and the previous boards for years now

Take Newkirk OUT! He can't score like that and stay in the game.
