Game Thread Part 2: IUBB vs BC Mega Boogaloo | 1:00PM *NOT TELEVISED*

[DWB]

TJD 0-2 from FT. Sure hope this isn't going to be our nemesis again this year.

Feel bad for Parker. He's like 1-5 from deep so far. Best shooter on the team, and struggling. But plays good D.

Kopp went down several minutes ago and limped off the court.  Now reported he's back on the bench with shoe off and right foot wrapped in ice.  Hopefully nothing particularly serious.

[DWB]

Rudan for Mega (off the bench) has come in and hit 3-4 from deep.

Offense has gone cold.  26-24 IU with 4:38 left in first half.

Defense is keeping us in it. We're shooting 32%, but we're holding Mega to 29% so far. Go D !!

TJD only has 3 pts with 4 min left in half.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

An ugly half just from following the internet play-by-play.  Maybe a good thing we couldn't actually watch today's game although we do have a 37-30 halftime lead.

Although they participated in pre-game warm-ups neither Duncomb nor Leal are dressed for the actual game.

Would’ve been surprised, Leal on concussion protocol, takes time

Rob and X combined for 9 assists and neither committed a turnover.   Race with 8 rebounds and Geronimo with 5

[LIHoosier]

IU 36%, Mega 30% shooting. IU with 12 fouls, Mega with 14. Training for the B1G slog is underway.

Lander did not see the court in the first half after playing just 7 min. in the Friday game.

Any further update on Kopp?

Geronimo is killing it on the glass. 
On a normal team this kind of looks like what Vic’s more natural progression would’ve looked like. Geronimo has tons of potential, but he’s not having to be pushed into an early offensive role.

This is disappointing to me. Coach has been referring to him as young, not questioning, but this kid has so much talent, hope to see hum grow quickly this year

Just that he's on the bench with his ankle iced.  Multiple commentators mentioning how vocal he's been from the bench despite unable to play.

Bates replaces Kopp in starting lineup to start the 2nd half.

I think it’s clear the other guards are out performing him in practice. He is still young. If he can stick through all this he’ll come out tougher in the end.  Has great speed and handle. Needs to work on defense and shooting.  But it’s going to be a challenge beating out the guards we have it seems.

How can Trey have over 17 minutes and no other stats?

Wow, Trey is a foul and turnover away from having quite the trillion. IU leads 58-45 with 4 minutes to go.
