IU vs Northwestern 1/14/18 Game Thread

[LIHoosier]

Sad that I had more faith in Devonte shooting from 60 ft compared to 6.

Green playing again like he doesn’t care. I cannot stand an IU player who doesn’t leave it on the court.

First to 50 wins rule?

If Morgan is out the entire first half you can pretty much call this game. 

Welp, I did not count on both teams playing one of the worst offensive halves of basketball I’ve ever seen.

How can you have a whole team of D1 players that can’t shoot the ball?Should be up 20 this half.

Tom Crean recruited teams almost always lacked one key aspect. This year's team lacks shooting.

What is iu most individual airball in one half record? Green going to make a run at it

I like the optimism, but we may need to say first to 35...

Two air balls so far. He plays like he thinks he’s the best player on the court. So far he’s looked like one of the worst.

I’m happy with the defense. Romeo has to notice we are desperate need of a scorer

That would mean overtime.

[patrickmorriso9]

Wasn't a good half by any measure but we're up 5 and have Morgan Smith and McBob coming back. Think Moore has definitely earned minutes in the second half 

[pumpfake]

Well, we're leading and should have McRoberts and Morgan fresh for the second half....

It’s actually up to 4 if you count the half-court heave. Two threes and the floater also.

[rcbowla]

Defensively they've played well. Offensively.... yikes. Need JMO and McBob. Yes McBob doesn't score but he makes intelligent decisions with the ball. Green needs to go away

24 at the half is embarrassing. Idc who is coaching. I don't miss the Crean defense, but I damn sure know he would always have more than 24 at halftime

Wish that we could afford for Green to ride the pine when he throws up those horrible shots. No one better to sub in for him.

Ok—ugly first half —but no Morgan and we hold a 5 point lead. I feel good about where we are. Let’s put them away the second half. Romeo has to be thinking either we are so bad he wants no part of us—or they really need me and I could score a ton here! Here’s to hoping for the latter!!

I've been watching since the fifties and I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse shooting Indiana team.

Gotta give an attaboy to Freddie for his work on the defensive glass - a couple of nice tip-outs to team mates.

They'd be on pace for 24 turnovers too.
