10-15 66.7 free throw %. Could’ve helped to hit a couple more of those.

That needs to change, but I'm not confident in that happening.  Miller's teams at Dayton always sucked at the line.

I'm just here to see how fast the sky is falling.

And I'm sure the 300 people who go to their games are pumped about that. 

Nice support of the University, and our athletes.  Attendance today was 3200 +

We do, but the kid who made the most dumb plays is a junior.

Hard to believe we only lost by one.

Morgan does not play in first half

Rob P did not have a great game

Fitzner did not show up

Smith did not show up

Al started good and then got sloppy as hell.

No McBob

A number of lazy passes

Did not cost us the game, our poor play did, but how many refs call that foul at the end?  Total BS.

Team looked disorganized/confused on last possession. Why did Archie not call a timeout.....especially with two freshman guards on their first road trip.

Poor play but good learning experience on the road. Better it happens at Arkansas than a BT team.  Looking forward to rest of the season but not exactly counting the days until the Duke game. 

[Brass Cannon 24,309]

Some of the players played poorly. But Archie too has to be better.

Awe, someone's in his feelings. I guess stating facts is immature?

There’s a big difference between stating facts and just being a dbag. You seem angry though, why don’t you sign off and go deal with your frustration elsewhere.

Agreed- I was actually referring to a specific poster lol. I've taken in to PMs- sorry for the confusion and derailment :)

5 non cons worth talking about.

We are 1-1. Duke is a loss. Gotta win Louisville and Butler to stay on the plus side come NCAA time.

Shoot it at the buzzer and you either win or go to OT. No chance of losing in regulation. 

Completely agree here Chuck. Knowing we have the last shot to decide it, why would we not make it the last? Big mistake there and I don’t mean Phin. Can not believe there was no timeout. Jesus, that’s the win right there, what the heck?

Most of the problems came from being too soft with the ball. Be strong with the basketball going forward and this team will make great improvement. Could have won the game many times over with much stronger ball play.

I tend to believe we’re likely NCAA bound if we have a winning record in the B1G. This seems like a really “bad” loss, but no way this really hurts our tournament chances.

Practice tomorrow is going to be brutal.

Oh I agree and predicted it. Just puts more emphasis on the Butler Louisville games now.

I think Green would have helped a lot today. I mean he would have been a huge upgrade over Damezi. Also he would have looked for a shot and not passed the ball around the arc.

I'm doing great actually, but thanks for the concern. If a guy like you enjoyed my posts I'd be doing something wrong. 

[HoosierAloha 30,043]

Haha, love board meltdowns.  It's everyones fault and everyone hates everyone and everything sucks.

Glad we scheduled this game and had this type of opportunity in the noncon.  We definitely needed it.  That was about the way I thought the game would go but I thought we would close at the end.  A frosh making a frosh mistake at the end of the game, not surprising, and I'm sure if he has that same situation in the future he'll make a better decision.  To be fair, there was contact and the defender came down with his arm which was called on IU several times throughout the game.  You have to learn, on the road, you'll have that.  De'Ron has to make that tip in though.  The "foul", ehhh, whatever.

I figured Juwan would be in foul trouble along with several other players.  It's college basketball on the road, you can look at the numbers and see it happens All.the.time.  IU needed an 5-8 point lead heading down the stretch but was lazy with the ball early on.  I'm actually pretty happy they continued to compete after getting down 10.  This game will help come conference season. 

Time to get healthy and work on valuing the ball.  We'll be fine, we'll win plenty of Big Ten game, and we'll be in the tourney.  This wasn't a "terrible" loss.  Pump the brakes

[Bailey7878 2,506]

That's a terrible loss come ncaa selection time. If Anderson and Durham have to play a lot of minutes it's going to be a very long year

Duke is going to be really ugly. Not sure why we even scheduled this Arkansas game

I would say that’s a fair assessment. Going into the last foul shots he was asking his bench if he needed to call a TO. Mind boggling since he missed it when we had our last possession. Young teams cannot be counted on to make the right decisions in a one possession game. He and his team will get better.
