moyemayhem Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 This is not a negative post, but many will take it that way....I think the truth is this team has two terrific players, and simply no other (healthy) difference makers on the roster. Phinisee is a steadying force and we are capable of playing really good team defense, but at the end of the day this team has a low ceiling. I think Archie is doing a phenomenal job putting us in position to get wins, and our guys have shown real grit, but we just don’t have the talent to run many teams out of the gym. I’ll be happy to make the tournament, but would be shocked if we end up in the top 4 of the conference standings.I love Archie, and I still think the future is bright, but I think we are going to need to get healthy and see some real player development this offseason to see the progress that many on this board are expecting.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierDYT and fwgreenway 2 Quote
VO5 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 So, I’ll put some positives here since I could be considered one of the more negative posters in game threads: - Romeo was terrific. His driving is incredible and he uses his length extremely well. - Juwan with another double-double. Could work on his D a tad, but otherwise a typical Juwan game. - Green was horrendous on O, but his D continues to be an asset to this team. He really locked down on that end. - FTs. Our biggest Achilles heel. The box score says we went 25-35, which is massive improvement. Al, Romeo, and Juwan were all good from the line today. - Defense and Coaching. After another lackadaisical start, we locked down on that end of the floor. Archie got us in gear and had a great game plan on offense as well. Loved putting the ball in Romeo’s hands at the start of the 2nd half I don’t expect a win at Michigan On Sunday, but would love to see an inspired team effort.

Alford Bailey Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The mindset of this team seems to be they are good enough to turn it on when need be. I like the self confidence but Im just not sure we are that good til we start beating some of the better teams in conference. Quote

TO's and air-balled lay-ups and floaters that were forced.......his TO that led to the break that cut the lead to 9 with about 3:30 to play was THE reason they even threatened late. Just maddening. I hope he steps it up at Michigan, but can see IU getting blitzed largely due to being dominated at the PG. That 10 second violation where he got mid court then started dribbling backwards ,,,,,,dreadful! Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 I’m usually positive, but I think there is a good chance we could lose 6 or 7 of the next 8 if we don’t get people healthy and start games better. @ Michigan@MarylandNebraska @ Purdue @ Northwestern Michigan @Rutgers@ Michigan State I think 4-4 in that stretch would be a win Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners 3-5. Agree 4-4 would be a win. That’s a brutal stretch. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The game was ugly. Didn’t inspire confidence again but a win is a win. Excited to watch Sunday. Go Hoosiers!Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Stuhoo and Whoozhers 2 Quote

8bucks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Ok so not sure it was obvious on TV but Illinois coach brings a high chair to sit in during games. Any idea why?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Alford Bailey 1 Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Hopefully the fans show up for those two home games in that stretch. The crowd was pathetic tonight. Quote

RaceToTheTop Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Win. On to the next game. I have yet to see a win I would return. Bottom line, we are a top 20ish team. I'm expecting around a 11-9 Big Ten record, 20-11 overall. And I'm sure if that's our final record some will talk about how we faded down the stretch instead of the schedule simply got very tough. We are 3-0 in the conference against three of the teams near the bottom. Thing is.....that's the best that you can be in three games against three teams at the bottom. Guarantee there will be teams in the conference that wish they had went 3-0 against this set. rcbowla 1 Quote

Yeah, I'm not sure what he was supposed to do in that circumstance....doubled in the backcourt, he can either pick up the dribble or try to find someone open. No one came to the ball. So the turnover looks like it's on him, but someone is supposed to flash to center court. Str8Hoosiers 1 Quote

I believe I read somewhere that he was having some back problems which is why he's been missing a lot on the recruiting trail. Hutch89 and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote
Old Friend Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 DeVonte Green to me is like finger-painting. Just...a mess all over the place, and no structure whatsoever. How he hasn't (seemingly) learned one thing in 3 years about being a good team mate just baffles me. It's almost like he makes a couple of decent passes, then says "okay, it's my turn," and throws up some garbage of a shot. Given his shot selection and propensity for turnovers, I truly believe he is a net-negative for this basketball team as often as a net positive. To back that statement up a bit.. In conference games in which he's played, or non conference against decent opponents he is a combined 13-37 from the floor with 17 assists and 15 turnovers. Whoozhers 1 Quote
