Yeah, but when the brick hits the backboard and kareens out to the foul line, it's a little tough for our bigs under the basket to get the rebound.

But we do need more than 2 guys trying to rebound.

Definitely bounces playing a big part in the offensive rebounds allowed against Louisiana and against St John, just overall need to figure out how to limit second chances. Can't allow that type of number against the Big10 teams or a Purdue team with Williams and Edey.

Personally I think Lander is going to be making us talk about him being a starter before the B1G season rolls around... I like Leal getting minutes as well.

Hey where is  Xavier Johnson?

[HoosierHoopster]

We seem to be playing ok.

[HoosierTrav]

Lander, Bates, and Hood-Schifino are going to be formidable. Hopefully we can get some frontcourt help this off-season.

I’m impressed. 
 

this is a team that is projected to win the Sun Belt this year. 

Yes.  They'll probably dominate down low against other Sun Belt teams.  Right now their big men look totally perplexed to have to play against our bigs.

I'm looking forward to seeing Parker Stewart this half.  He looked in rhythm for the first time in the first half.

Hit the bench after his technical.  I'm hoping he starts the second and gets back under control.

Just saw this -- 

Khristian Lander played 13 minutes all season before tonight. 

He played the final 13 minutes of the first half tonight. 

6 PTS, 4 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 2 TO, +13

[IUfanNcinci]

Uuugghh easy Xavier 

[RaceToTheTop]

Really only two bad stats that half were our 12 turnovers (3 by X and 3 by Khristain) and allowing 11 offensive rebounds.  Not shocked about the offensive rebounds considering the number of shots blocked.

[HoosierHoopster]

On Lander, exactly what I’ve been looking forward to seeing —

Reins off, gets the minutes, gets to show all the talent he has now with a college body and experience gained.

tonight so far:

6 pts (2-2), 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 boards, in 13 min - 3 TO’s still an issue but 4 assists- game experience and in game coaching will get him there

ESPN has him at 3 turnovers (and I'll geek myself out.....I have him with three also....I keep stats as the game goes on or I can't control my temper normally, LOL).  But yes, definitely a very nice half.

The lineup changes feel smoother and natural. Leal got a huge reaction to his bucket

[HoosierHoopster]

Somewhat lost because of scoring but like that Kopp has 4 boards already 

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

Listening to the radio with TV. Is Bardo any better tonight?

[hoosierdogg]

Race brings the Thunder!!!

[RaceToTheTop]

Louisiana just looking to run at the hoop this half.  Need to get back better.

Yes, because the game hasn't been close.  Harder for him to make his digs.

[Alford Bailey]

7/8 free throws is improvement. We seem to flow better minus Phinisee

[RaceToTheTop]

Bardo just said Race THompson is like George McGinnis.

 

What in the holy hell.
