Gotta shoot and move the ball better. Wrong guys shooting too many 3s. I want to see more Bates. He needs to get under control a little more.

It was a wire-to-wire win.  Look at the positives.  :)

[rcbowla]

Agree to disagree.  It's not a surprise that he shows up on cue.

He shows zero troll characteristics. If he was a troll I doubt he'd show up day in and day out for 3 years at least. He's a fan that sees things realistically and sometimes has takes that are scorching hot.

Everything needs work.

[LamarCheeks]

If memory serves we hit our first two 3s (Stewart). 

After that, 2 for 22. 

Egads!

Better debut than a 21 point loss to Indiana State!

Well....

TJD showed up for the most part.

Race disappeared and I think that hurt us a lot. His energy early was feeding the team.

Johnson and Phinisee still need to figure it out. Would have liked to see Lander earlier in the game.

Galloway is still... not quite there. But he is going to play so whatever.

Would have just liked to see Lander, Leal and Duncomb get some minutes. Especially in the first half.

Gotta take care of the ball, gotta hit free throws.

Hopefully this was just nerves but I have my doubts

Race needs to put the three point shot away.  Kopp is a better player than he showed today.  

Need to more entry passes from Bates and Stewart to TJD and either force the double and kick out or let TJD work on his man.

[coonhounds]

Really comes down to making some dang shots. Shot to many threes and missed far far to many. Free throw line needs work. Same stuff as last 4 years however I feel we have more to work with. We can regroup and didn't get beat but certainly could have. Far from where I am sure woody wants us to be. Far from iu in its glory days

We need to match our first 4 minute energy all game or most of it. Energy stunk unless it was an alley oop play.

Enjoy the ride boys!

This is what a win looks like when ya shoot 16.7% from three.

If you’re gonna drink the Kool Aid, you’ve gotta understand their might be a few flies at the picnic.

We are fine.

Holy biscuit 

[Honkyman]

It looked just like last year--Trayce Jackson Davis surrounded by a bunch of terrible shooters. Mike Woodson's offense is predicated on players hitting their 3-point shots. IU was 16.%% from 3-point range. And like last year, poor free throw shooting (12-20).  Plus IU out-rebounded by an undersized team by just 1 rebound. This is not a tournament team.

Race had 4 fouls with like 14 minutes to go in 2nd half so that didn't help

Don't imagine Woody is overly pleased with how his debut has gone.

Based on his comments about the defense being well ahead of the offense, I doubt he’s all that surprised.

[RaceToTheTop]

Need to consider that every single one of our players have spent their entire career at IU, in high school, or at a place that hasn't produced good basketball (Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Tenn State).  Probably shouldn't have expected all those bad habits/shot mechanics were going to go away quickly.

[BGVille Hoosierfan]

I will die on this hill…Clif Marshall needs to go! He’s the common denominator and our shooting will never be there as long as he’s training these guys like they’re in the NFL.

Yeah, our coach will have growing pains as well.  Race really should have been pulled after his third foul.  Picked up #4 pretty quick.

We might be fine lol. Then again we may be what we saw. We hit more of those threes and keep defense intensity we will be fine. If this is what we are on the regular we are not fine. We will struggle mightily and lose alot of games
