WayneFleekHoosier Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 Woody from the presser today: Langdon Hatton has been a surprise and can do some things the staff didn't think he could do. Has improved athletically and can get up and down the floor. They had a game-style scrimmage the other night and Malik made two out three from 3pt during it. Both Trey and Jakai played and played well during the scrimmage; 15-18 minutes apiece. Neither is fully recovered. Woody can't yet say whether they will play on Sunday, so they might - the trainers and team doctors will inform about their availability. As a team they are taking more threes. The team has been working their a$$es off. That matches my takeaway from the Scrimmage. Hatton was the most surprising player to me. He fit. He was slick on offense. Couldn’t really handle Ballo on defense but Hatton and Tucker were the positives for me from the scrimmage. Ballo, Reneau, Mgbako looked as expected.

I still think he’s strictly a niche guy by conference season, but if he’s good enough to give them legit positive minutes in foul situations or should Ballo or Reneau miss a couple of games, that’s so good. 2) If Galloway and Newton can go 15–18 hard minutes in a scrimmage now they’re good to go. I don’t care if they play Sunday. thebigweave, HoosierHoopster, hoosierbgh and 2 others 5 Quote

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted October 28, 2024 Author Popular Post Posted October 28, 2024 In the post game, Woody said that Tucker took a knee to the thigh in practice and wasn’t able to get loose. Nothing serious at all. He also said that 19 threes was fine, but we need to shoot more of them than that. Woody didn’t seem especially satisfied with our performance. thebigweave, hoosierfan6157, cthomas and 12 others 15 Quote

Perhaps but 19 is a lot more than we usually shot last year. I am not sure what we averaged per game last year but it seemed like there were a lot of games we shot 12 or less! Quote

I am not sure what we averaged per game last year but it seemed like there were a lot of games we shot 12 or less! You are correct. We took 15.5 3's per game last year (15.7 in conference). That was 'good' for 325th in MBB, that's just plain terrible game planning/coaching. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/indiana/men/2024.html While our opponents took 25 last year. Taking 11 in the first despite going O'fer on them to me is encouraging. Everyone was rusty and playing tight in the first half of the first exhibition (on both teams). Finding good looks and then going 4-8 in the second was key to the W. We don't win that game without some balanced outside shooting to keep us in the game and then stretch things. We played from behind for most of the game after leading I think it was 16-14. The 3's were absolutely key to the offense keeping us in it and then holding serve to finish. That, to me, is definitely an encouraging sign. Quote

We left a lot on the table. We were pathetic the first 3 mins of the scrimmage. Quote
