I don't see anything on St Mary's that all that impressive honestly.  Our defensive intensity has fizzled 

Do you think Gonzaga said that when St. Mary's beat them?

We look exhausted and they look well aware of that. Gonna find out how bad these guys want to play on.

How are they tired after they just got 4 minute break? 
 

We also played on shorter days last week. Tired isn’t an excuse in March 

They’re not bowling in your Weds night men’s league. They’re playing other high level players who are more rested.

Randy Bennet sounds like Darryl Hammond impersonating Al Gore. 

And looks like Tim Conway

Fatigue is an issue. You can see it especially on defense. Getting killed on the boards.

[IU - Kaulie]

What’s going on with TJD?  He is playing VERY soft on both ends.  They don’t have a Kofi type.  He shouldn’t be playing so weak.  The difference in the game so far.  He is not bringing it.

St. Mary’s doing a good job exposing the issues with IU’s roster. This will be a hard hole to climb out if especially if you can’t hit threes. I hope Woodson addresses that in the off-season it has been a pandemic at IU for too long. 

You know how this will go. We will finally bring shooting in and our frontcourt will be a liability. Haven’t had a complete team since 2016.

We controlled the first 15min. Then collapsed. I actually think they’re tired. Hate to say it, but this one isprobably in the bag. 

Again tired is ridiculous! It's a great excuse I guess but I don't think it is a factor. We're just getting beat need to ramp it up first 5 of second half and then settle in.

I don't know, but they probably felt alright considering they already beaten them twice and had locked up a 1 seed weeks ago

Fifth game in 8 days, plus some disastrous travel. They've gotta get up for this, but there's some pretty legit reasons that they could be tired

He’s gassed. Just look at the whole team when a shot goes up and how they are guarding. They’re out of gas. It’s obvious.

Guess tired doesn’t exist last week when they packed for 4 days. 
 

NCAA dance is less meaningful I suppose.

This is laughable. Trayce, Geronimo, X are the only guys playing tonight.

It's easy to blame fatigue but it's how St. Mary's plays you. They're not going to dominate you with speed or athleticism. They're going to pick you apart and find your weaknesses. Unfortunately, we have a lot of weaknesses when we decide we're just going to be on the court.

Yeah if you eliminate the hitting open shots, playing great defense, rebounding, and staying composed I’d have to agree with you.

Race and Kopp didn't score.  Stewart didn't score after hitting the opening shot.  TJD has 10 points and was guarding their leading scorer and held him to four points.

I'm not sure why the finger always gets pointed at TJD.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

We had them where we wanted them… then Phin, Durr gave up points on 5 straight possessions. Down 5. Gave them the Mo…. Never regained it.
