Game Thread: Minn at IU, Weds 9:00 on BTN

[HoosierAloha]

TOs on offense and allowing penetration on offense.  The numbers are there to win this game if we can take care of the ball and take it up about 5 notches on defense.

6 seconds left, perfect time for a leisurely trot.

I thought IU played the better half overall and yet here we are down 2. That's not good.

Keystone cop basketball again. Is it really that hard to know how much time is left on the shot clock?

What is it that Archie has seen from Durham at end of half situations that makes him think "ok Al it's your time"? He's never been anything but awful in those scenarios.

Six seconds means you get a shot off. Period.

We don’t have that Marcus Carr end to end guy on our team.

[LamarCheeks]

Did Al think we were ahead, there were 6 seconds left in the game and he needed to dribble out the clock? 

Otherwise, I cannot possibly fathom what happened on that final possession.

Terrible coach continues to allow terrible player to continue being terrible at the end of the half. What a surprise. 

[cappymo14]

I missed the end of half, but if Frank and Phin were on the bench again, I’ll freak out.

Both were in. Rob is hobbled after twisting his ankle

Bad players do stupid things.

What about Phin makes you want to have him out there?

FWIW, Phin twisted an ankle near the end of the half.  Don't know if he was on the court on the last six seconds.

I am so tired of low iq basketball.  

[cappymo14]

Dudes, we talked about this at length the other night. Hell, the whole of IU press core did too. How can it be Al?

I still think we're fine. Minnesota made a bunch of tough shots. Their guards are getting to the rim too easily, but hopefully Archie makes an adjustment. If we take that away I think it's an easy win

I’m not sure that makes me feel better, Boob.

Second game in a row, Al is given the ball to close a half and turns it over or fails to get a shot off (which in my view is a turnover). Same thing happened to close the 1st half against OSU, IIRC. At least I think that's correct
