Hillsdale87 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I disagree. It’s been a huge issue as we have slept walked through multiple games while playing hard in others. Effort has been very, very disappointing/inconsistent.People don't score much on us. We just can't score. You don't end the season with those defensive metrics if you habitually have bad effort. Yes, there are some bad spurts, which isn't surprising from a young team. But this is an undersized team that has been hammered by injuries all year. We had a bad season because we were historically bad from 3 in Big 10 games, not because teams were beating us up from lack of effort (except the Minnesots game - that was bad).

pumpfake Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 IMO, lack of talent (read:shooting) is our biggest weakness. BUT It's the coach's job to assemble a talented roster. The honeymoon for Archie is now over - either he and the staff coaches the hell out of the team over the summer or makes some radical changes to the roster and/or staff. If not, next year could be the beginning of the end for him. I'm surprised I'm saying this, but this team was bad, didn't really show any improvement and recruiting seems to be completely off track.

IU - Kaulie Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 First time seeing them but hard to believe Wichita St. with that coach was a #6 seed in the NIT. They must have been truly awful at the beginning of the year. Quote
hoosierdogg Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 In a game where IU desperately needed three point shooting, why did Fitzner not even see the floor? Nobody else wanted to shoot the three, passed up plenty of open looks, should have let Fitzner let a few fly. LamarCheeks 1 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Fitzner had been contributing some quality minutes lately and we couldn't shoot for sh-t tonight, so I was really puzzled as to why he didn't play one second. Throw him out there for 5-6 minutes and see what he can do. If he's the Fitzner of the middle point of the season, sit him back down. If he's the Fitzner of late, give him some run. That made no sense to me. colonel06, pumpfake and JaybobHoosier 3 Quote

I'm surprised I'm saying this, but this team was bad, didn't really show any improvement and recruiting seems to be completely off track.He's had one recruiting class. He hasn't had any time to get shooters. The lack of shooting is squarely on Crean. 2 freshman were significant contributors, 1 disappointed, 2 were hurt the whole year, and 1 was always a longer term project. Not bad for a first recruiting class. Next year we have an incoming McD AA. Yes, we need some shooters, but he's not bringing in Priller and Jeremiah April. He's getting real talent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk cchuntsman, theriverpilot, gfeltner28 and 3 others 6 Quote
