Smith needs to back down his defender every single time. He’s good when he does that

I sound like a broken record, but I hate our starting five lineup. 

And it's pretty easily fixed with ONE change.

If the B1G is gonna align itself with foxsports, they better damn well make sure their sh-t is in gear. Even the "streaming" IU-Illinois offering was Rutgers-Iowa women. GET WITH IT! 

We're on now, so it's fine -- but that's embarrassing for the conference.

Until they double him and he throws up a weak prayer or turns it over. One on one he's fine but he doesn't handle the double well at all

Nothing will change.  They'll keep their tip offs exactly two hours apart regardless of what games are being played.

He's good at doing that -- making the move -- but he rarely finishes. ... Made that one, but he usually short-arms everything.

Who should we complain to?

It’s so frustrating, because we basically have 30 minutes to try and win a game, because we will lose the first five minutes of every half.

Yeah -- and that sucks. But if you can't get it on TV, at least make it available to stream. The IU-Illinois stream was still the women's game. That can't happen.

Just as I said that, he did exactly what you said

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

He didn't travel in that mess?

GOOD DEVONTE!

[LIHoosier]

Even the announcers know the 'Good Devonte' theme

[pumpfake]

Some Good Devonte

[LamarCheeks]

Jeezus, Race -- catch the ball and go to the bucket! That's an inexcusable  turnover. 

[hoosierfan6157]

Yes, we really need Good Devonte today!

[Hillsdale87]

guards are really struggling to keep guys in front. Need to lock that down

Today and everyday!

[LamarCheeks]

Have we had "Good Devonte" for a road game yet? ... I can't recall any off-hand. ... Would be nice for a change.

Our defenders are going to have to stop the drives.  You can live with the two threes they made from guys who don't normally shoot well.  Can't let them blow by on offense, especially with the hedges too high.

What I would give for this team being able to play a good zone.  Would resolve a lot of issues considering that three point shooting is down in the NCAA.
