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

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.  :)

that EMU guy was right; the stud guard, Farrahkan, is really dominating right now.

He was talented, but ultimately was a shooting guard who couldn't shoot. I agree with the coaching and perhaps with the injury, although I don't see him lighting it up in the NBA.

Bring on Gonzaga!

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. 

We're up 17.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,925]

Missed the fact Lander also did not play in the first half.

It was 33-19 when I wrote that. By my calculations, that's a 14-point lead. 

But thanks.

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

Drives like Durham but is strong enough to get through the contact.  Outside shot has too much Damezi.

Gotcha.  I thought you had posted at halftime.  Really wasn't trying to be a smartass.

I thought KL’s launched shots from his belt, last year, was bad but X’s stroke from the three is rather…shall we say, “funky”.

[Alford Bailey 12,291]

Should be an encouraging half of bb for fans. Not shooting well from deep but everything else I like.

[Dave from Dayton 2,646]

Yeah, hope they can fix X's shooting.  But he does have a quick first step.  Love Patrick Stewart's start...2 3's!  And Phin is back.  Just don't want to see him hold it...move!  Race is a glue guy.  Just want to see IU's offense against some tougher and taller teams.

He only played 9 minutes total against BC Mega and I didn't hear anything about his play against Belmont, so assume he probably played very little.  He's our third point guard right now and for us to play two of them at the same time, either Bates or Stewart would have to sit.

BTW, y'all know that I had said Galloway would find his way on to the court.  He doesn't score, but will play solid defense and will provide decent ball movement on offense.  Phin being able to shoot helps out Galloway as well because previously you couldn't have them both on the court when neither was scoring.

[Alford Bailey 12,291]

We knew X had a funky shot coming in. I wouldnt expect a change now.

[DChoosier 7,157]

Rob might be closer to the “freshman Rob that I thought would progress over his career” that I had hoped for.  Way too early to predict that but if it happens he could turn into the PG starter.

[LamarCheeks 17,180]

Race to Trayce!
