Seems like a project and I don't think Archie's into projects.

I honestly don’t know if he can play at this level. It looks like he’s not catching on to anything. I want him to succeed here but you gotta know what the hell you’re doing

Good win. Realize it was only Rutgers but it was on the road and I was worried we would come out flat after MSU.  Good to see the D and improved play of Green.  Think some of the "why doesn't Moore get more minutes" questions were answered.

Indiana was only a 1 point favorite in this game.  22 point win, should have been 30+ if Hoosiers could just hit even 60% of their free throws.  Great game defensively, and even in spurt on offense.

And the why Newkirk shouldn't get quality minutes either argument.

Really surprised Archie kept Moore around. He looks like a NAIA player.

He's completely lost. Makes sense when you consider his high school team was routinely scoring like 40 points a game. He has rare length and mobility but he has no skills and has never played for an even somewhat competent coach.

When's the last time we had a "convincing" win in a league game?  I don't know, but it feels good and I'm not going to spoil it by posting anything negative.  Great defensive effort, great win.

From what I've seen I would be just fine with Moore transferring. He doesn't look like he has learned anything since he has been on campus

I don't understand this line of thinking though.

He's just a freshman.  For the past few years, people were mad at the amount of transfers Crean had during his time here, wanting more players to stick around and develop.

I'd like to see Moore put in work and develop.  Remember, not every roster spot can be filled with guys who are going to get tons of playing time.  If all we ever get out of him is 12 minutes per game, some solid defense, along with 5 pts and a few rebounds per game, I think that would warrant a roster spot.

Got his 13th man scholarship out of the way for 4 years. Now he can focus on offering guys who will contribute sooner.

I agree.  Green playing more under control has made it easier for Archie to sit Josh.

Wow—that was some nice defense. Juwan and RoJo were solid—free throws were horrid as usual— but Rutgers had no clue how to get open shots versus our D. We just held a Big Ten team to 43 points and 25 percent shooting! Enough said....Let’s get ready to beat Minnesota Friday!
