Going to be lots of opportunities next year for the young guys.

Second time tonight a call has been overturned in Rutgers' favor. Even they get home-cooking and we don't.
 
 
Really don't know if it's just physically draining practices, too much focus on upper-body weight training or just lack of confidence, but we just can't shoot. Free throws included.

I am a believer of not weight training once season starts. It can really throw your shot off. But I'm no expert just my opinion.

Our Defense looks good. Really good with not all the pieces in place. This defense might get special with all the pieces (Virginia good). These guys are playing hard.

I agree. Defense is outstanding and that's what we need because our shooting is awful. Missed so many open shots

A lot of coaches don’t allow it and if they do they don’t allow you to move up in weight, just maintain. At least that was how I was always coached.

I am struggling to understand what Tom Crean saw in a couple of these freshmen.   Durham gives us nothing.  Absolutely zero.  Clifton Moore (who some here said was going to be a surprise, even though he barely out weighs a praying mantis) is just awful on the offensive end.    Seriously...how can that guy go from #1 in the country to a freshman class that gives Indiana almost nothing on a pretty regular basis?  I see the potential in Smith and Moore can block a shot here and there; but there is nothing to like about Durham right now.

I definitely don’t mind sacrificing some offense for great defense but our offense has to be a little better than what we’ve seen. I do think Archie recruiting to his style will get us there. 

[Ranger78 1,293]

The only issue I saw was the weak close out by Green in the corner. And the BS non block out of the shooter on the ft line. My daughter (12) yelled block out the shooter - are you kidding me.

Once play starts you should just keep your conditioning maintained, work on offensive plays defense and your shooting. Off season is for getting stronger.

On a side note, I feel really bad for Hartman. You can tell he’s giving it his all but his body is just too fragile.

Man Brad Underwood looks like a madman lol. Short fuse like our buddy Fran

I like Durham if he’s being slowed played to see if he can evolve. The kid seems to be really focused, but just over his head. The situation requires more playing time than he should be getting.

What the hell does Collin Hartman do? I get he's had many injuries. But in that case he should've retired from basketball and got his suit and tie out.

Typically a pretty good shooter. Not sure what's going on with him this year.

It seems that between missed shots under the bucket and FT's we're giving away at least 10 points a game - can't do that when you struggle to score.

[Hoosierfan2017 22,498]

I really don't think weightlifting is why the players are shooting poorly this year. They're being asked to play hard defense for 40 minutes and they've never had to do that before.

Lmao Bronson Koenig is a model now?!
