Simply put this team needs a transfusion of talent - not bandaids. Defense has been overall quite good on balance but that's only half the game and we stink at offense. agree how this team is designed one band aid won’t fix.

Kopp not playing is the obvious choice, but the answer to “who do we play instead” isn’t obvious at all. Bates had a nice game against MSU but has been a dud otherwise. I just don't think Kopp is near athletic enough to guard the guys he's asked to guard and if he's not providing offense I find it hard to justify his minutes. And let's face it he's not provided much offense in any conference game this season ellen.walden, HoosierHoopster and Hoosierfan2017 3 Quote

Dillion Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 sure, but I was referencing Bates having shot 9/44 from the field in the last 7 weeks. Agreed he's a part of the future and should get Leal's minutes but as far as for this year it's picking between two pretty bad options. And with the talent gap on the perimeter that's what we're stuck doing. SadThat’s the problem with talking about most of our guards. We don’t have any good options most nights!

Dave from Dayton Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 The 3 that are out due to injuries are missed. Quote

Already 5 turnovers and he had at least that many the last game. His decision making most of the season hasn’t been that great but it’s gotten worse lately! Ummm defense? kreigh8 1 Quote
ILHoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Why, for the last 5 years we have brought “shooters” in but when they put the IU jersey on they’re jinxed? HoosierAloha and ellen.walden 1 1 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Pretty shocked we're only down 5 after the first 20 minutes. We missed 5+ layups, too many failing to draw iron. Only 3 missed FTs but 1 was on the front end. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 2-2 shots around the rim this half!! Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 P Stew taking his turn getting lit up on defense now Quote
LIHoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Good thing we also missed that Race 3 for the slo-mo of the ultimate d-bag Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Watch how LIddell goes up for his shot in the lane vs. how Race goes up. One jumps up the other kind of jumps to the side. We've done this all season. Part of why we struggle with layups. theriverpilot 1 Quote
LIHoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Which team is the one playing twice in 3 days? Quote
schoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Kopp may have better lateral than Parker. Both get beat off the dribble every chance they get. kreigh8 1 Quote
