Lander is aggressive, fast, shifty, has great vision, is below average defensively, and will make lots of mistakes.

Boys, that’s a significant upgrade.

Lander missing outside , maybe shouldn’t be such a green light , but his passing getting the ball inside has been way better than our starters

He shot that way in HS. Hasnt been fixed yet....

I'm assuming they went in during HS to land the offers he did. Just looks odd to me, and I'm sure it's not helping his consistency. Just frustrating as his aggressiveness with the shot and with the ball driving is what this team is needing at that position.

One extra pass gets Leal 2 wide open looks. That’s ok though. You asked for it.

Lander with 3 straight misses as bad as any 3 misses I’ve ever seen. 

And that’s okay.

Screw it, they were horrible misses but I’m happy he didn’t hesitate on the third one after an air ball earlier in the possession.

You guys are more loyal than me. Have been intentionally skipping the games for the first season in my life because I’m just so worn out with the same, mostly bad, product. Most I’ve been doing is checking this thread periodically. Know several in my family haven’t been watching either. Never thought I’d see the day...

NASCAR starts this week. IU used to take presidence not this year. And I’m not die hard NASCAR.

Right. It's tough to win when 4 of the 5 starters are basically 0s. Thompson is the only one who has showed up

I mean, not really, but better than the alternative(s).

He's not a world beater, but man IU had better had at least offered Nunge. 6'11" and not a stiff, could use some of that height on this squad.

[Alford Bailey 12,375]

The potential for this team to get better lies with the freshmen. Our upperclassmen guards are known quantities at this point.

[Hoosierfan2017 21,331]

I just want 5 guys who play aggressively and aren’t afraid to make mistakes. Too often it seems some of our players are timid and afraid of screwing things up. They think and then act. They get an open shot, hesitate, and then miss. Sometimes you just need to act. If you try making a tough pass and turn it over, who cares. It beats passing the ball around the 3 point line like it’s a hot potato for 20-25 seconds like we usually do. We’ve played much better when we’re aggressive and don’t overthink things.
