LIHoosier Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 12:19 down 9 they reset shot clock after IU forces ball out of bounds. Smith didn’t have possession. It went out on smith. Should of been 1 sec left instead they get 30 and score Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersOn first look, I thought the ball hit the underside of the rim from the layup attempt.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote

If so I was wondering the same thing as I never seen the ball hit the rim. Pretty sure that's what they claimed though.Sent from my Pixel XL using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Thing that worries me about Justin is he seems to have bad hands and thats a tough thing to fix. He doesn't seem to understand how athletic he is and disappears for big parts of games. Almost seems hesitant, and that hesitation leads to bad shots and unforced turnovers. Alford Bailey 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Along the lines of momentum killers, that running hook by Simpson where JMo tried to get around Teske but Teske lifted his arm and caught JMo on the side of his head. Simpson had an open layup. The official was looking right at it and ignored it. The moving screen that was called every fifth possession early in the season is now obsolete. If that's not a moving screen or flagrant I'm not sure what is. This team is a grind it out team. They showed fight being down double digits for a majority of the game. I see that as a positive and will win games we shouldn't (as they have already done this season). I can envision Maryland getting frustrated and us hanging in with a chance to win late. That's the same type of game I see at pu too. I think against Nebraska we actually have a breakout game where we lead a majority of the game and win comfortably, in our current standard.

pumpfake Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Speaking of the hook shot - really an impressive skill to have, especially for a guard. I thought the little hook Moore put up in the first half looked like he's been working on it (nice form). He needs to start making them. On the subject of bad hands, it reminds of one of the best message board user names from a while back: "Handsofblab" Dhop and Hutch89 2 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 As usual I can see both sides to this. Mr. Smith is probably right that our offense is a bit restricted and Romeo and Juwan taking the vast majority of the shots. However that is probably the ideal circumstance. It seems to me though that Green and Durham take shots casually as well. Problem is, many of Smith’s scoring efforts have been abysmal attempts and I can see why Archie is trying to harness this. So we are playing pretty much a six man rotation and a parent of one of those 6 isn’t even happy. Imagine what the other 6 players parents feel who aren’t even playing. Coaching is so hard. You just can’t please everyone. Impossible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Stromboli, Stuhoo, Whoozhers and 2 others 5 Quote
Bobman1 Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Do we think Justin’s dad is saying this because Justin’s frustrated and is telling him or because dad is angry seeing his son not score a ton on television?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosier Sports Nation. I post there under the same name. The latest hot take is that Smith apparently doesn't like Romeo because someone once saw him shake his head when Romeo was announced. I've never seen our fanbase over-analyze the actions and behavior of our players to the extent they're doing this season. It's bizarre. Is it possible Smith and Langford aren't the best of friends? Sure. And you know what? That's ok. College basketball players spend a ton of time around each other and no matter what the team or the level of success, you're going to have personalities that clash. There are people in my workplace I enjoy being around and people in my workplace that I wish would take a hike. It's like this everywhere. "Everybody love everybody" sounds great in theory, but just isn't practical. pappy1865, jonz44, ElectricBoogaloo and 7 others 10 Quote

Alford Bailey Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I think Smith has the potential to play in the NBA. Weve all seen flashes of brilliance. BUT he seems more often than not to be over thinking things or not have his head in the game at all for stretches. Quote

If he does those he could be a beast. Quote
Alford Bailey Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 It would be a game changer for us if Smith would gain some confidence and consistency. Whoozhers and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
