Phinisee has been the best player on the floor

Put the juice down

[NOLA Hoosier]

Only game 1 and infinitely more watchable than any in the Miller era.

[rcbowla]

Also@WayneFleekHoosier they seem to be having more fun

Comments from Rob at various times mentioned Fife working with him to build his confidence and it looks like it's working.

Ah, see I always come from the south, so I'm not aware of anything going on north.

Judging by that username, “south” seems like a bit of an understatement.

Judging flops in real time is a bad rule and takes the refs focus off what matters. It should be reviewed after games. I realize they can’t fine student athletes, but maybe doc their meal points…?

Think I'm not going to like the flop rule if they are using it like they have been.  Keep it on only the egregious.

If the Rob Phinisee we're seeing thus far is what we can expect to see all season we're gonna be very happy.

Rob looks excellent - a healthy, confident Rob is a very good guard

I'm of the belief they'll call flops 100 times in the first 2 weeks of the year then ignore it from Thanksgiving on like all other things that are 'a point of emphasis'.

Made a meme.

Bates is just too good. I think we lose sight on the board just how good freshmen 5* players are.

We just lived through Romeo, so our expectation for 5* players is low.

[LamarCheeks]

Hard to complain about a 14-point first-half lead, but we'd be up by 34 if we knocked down those wide-open 3s. 

[MyDRockHard]

X can take it to the rim, but that buckle in his shooting motion is funky

[HoosierHoopster]

Ok it’s early, but things we’ve already seen —

Rob has his mojo and he looks good

TJD has a jumper - yes, he does

Bates can pass for stretch in the Fantastic Four, dude is loong, ans smooth

Geronimo is a flat out beast - and those 3’s will start to drop, form is solid 

We have actual offense again

We have defense that extends out again - thank God

[kreigh8]

Xavier’s jumpshot makes Galloway’s look smooth. That thing is so awkward looking, shocked he made one

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

No Leal and no Duncomb in the first half.

Romeo was really good. He just had a messed up wrist and clueless coach.

Enjoying this more than 90% of Archie's games. Not perfect by any means but you can see things that can be built upon and I actually see what they're trying to do. Players seem more confident as well. Maybe I'm drinking the kool-aid but I feel like we may have some fun this year.

Terrible for me. I live in AZ so that's 4:00. Get out of work at 5 then a 45-60 minute drive home. So no live watching of the game for me. I have Youtube TV set up to record it so I just watch when I get home.

Vacation day dude.  :)
