Popular Post RaceToTheTop Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Posted January 21, 2022 We all know that IU had only three turnovers last night. The three: Two by TJD and the other was a team turnover on a shot clock violation. The two guys that handle the ball the most for us -- X and Phin -- played a combined 58 minutes and had no turnovers, scored 38 points and had 8 rebounds. Even if you think X took too many shots (I was fine with his shots as I thought most were good looks), he and Phin combined to shoot 15 of 30 and 6 and 11 from three. Throw in zero turnovers with that and I can't come up with the last time we had guard play like that. Southside, Five Prime, HoosierHoopster and 12 others 15 Quote

I don’t expect they will shoot that well moving forward but they can take care of the ball and if they can, we will continue to win ALASKA HOOSIER, thebigweave, HoosierAloha and 1 other 4 Quote
Five Prime Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Even more impressive if you consider the hype and atmosphere in the building and playing a rival. Despite all that, having just 3 turnovers is incredible thebigweave, HoosierHoopster, Dave from Dayton and 2 others 5 Quote
Popular Post Feathery Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Posted January 21, 2022 It’s a guards game. When IU gets elite guard play, like last night, they can beat anyone. It’s why recruiting has been encouraging to me and the future looks bright. ALASKA HOOSIER, taco corp, hoosierbgh and 6 others 9 Quote

As good as it gets. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

I LOVE that none of those came from X or PHIN. They were outstanding!! I would add that they LED with energy and aggressiveness that others picked up on. These are all great things. *Note this is not trying to rain on the parade but provide context purdoodoo is not really a defense that turns opponents over that much. I thought this going into the game but wanted to dig into the numbers to make sure it was accurate. They rank 335th in the nation with a 15% TOR. With that said, it was FANTASTIC to see them take care of the ball in the environment during a big game! Stuhoo and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Dave from Dayton Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 The box scores, points per player, minutes played, etc. are the absolute weirdest I have seen in an IU win. But I do wonder if TJD was operating at 100%. Is he ok? Heard he was rubbing his hip during warmup. And he really didn't have his thinking cap on when he came back in and started slapping at the ball handler's arms. Kind of like he was asking for the 3rd foul to be called. The 4th foul seemed BS to me. Really want to know if he is ready for prime time. Quote

A couple bad shots from an aggressive player is to be expected. It’s the compounding of mistakes on top of mistakes that kill a team. Zero turnovers from our guards is amazing. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Alford Bailey Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Several interesting stats last night. The turnovers, Durrs minutes, TJD minutes, Purdues poor FT %, TJD making two FTs at the end… Quote

I was surprised they didn't deliberately rough him up a little in the early part of the game solely to get under his skin and cause him to lose focus. Quote

We just play differently with them be their scrappy selves. lillurk, HoosierAloha, HoosierHoopster and 1 other 4 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 Just 11 turnovers total in the last two games. Hopefully that keeps up but we fix the rest of the crap we showed against Michigan. Quote

Games against top-175 competition where Gallo started: 0 - 0 with Gallo playing more than 4 minutes: 3 - 2 with Gallo playing less than 4 minutes: 4 - 3 See, we're undefeated with Gallo in the starting lineup!!! There is enough evidence now to suggest that's not a coincidence. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
