Can we choose a 1v2 layup instead of shooting a FT?

We do look like we’re waking up.

seriously early for this kind of statement, but i really hope Woodson learned from last season and won’t just stick with the same starters no matter what. There are easily a couple changes that look like they would be effective, and I’m sorry but Kopp should not start for his D. If he must start (?) then he should be drilling 3’s

We really haven't generated any great looks from 3. The ones we've taken have been contested. I'm not sure what Kopp's role on this squad is besides being in college for awhile and having a funny line or two on his podcast.

Edit: and the possibility for a really cool T-shirt

2 straight FT's made!!!

[str8baller 4,783]

First game of the year—

 

I love that woody gives the backups extended time for playing hard. It’s annoying the starters give them that opportunity.

Another made FT!!

Really really poor offense over the last 30 seconds.  Poor clock management, poor shot selection

[HoosierAloha 29,900]

We didn't get smarter in the off-season, oof.

[str8baller 4,783]

As bad as we played, they hit at least 3 really tough shots, including two 3’s and we’re still up 12. 

 

I don’t know how to feel…lol.

Miller Kopp is not IU's glue guy.  Our glue guy is Trey Galloway.

It'll be hilarious when Miller Kopp starts the second half after his near Club Trillion stat line in the first half. 

[Hardwood83 4,513]

So IU has been out-rebounded, is 4-10 FT's and 1-4 3P and the one make was banked in....do I have that right? One half, early in the seson, but that sure seems familiar :( 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,234]

Indiana: 1-4 from 3... 4-10 FT

 

Morehead St: 6-19 3... 1-1 FT

[RaceToTheTop 23,810]

Honestly, about what I expected in the first half of the opener.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

What is Kopp doing? Anything?

The 1 for 1 free throws for Morehead State was legit.  They aren't trying to get inside....19 of their 27 shots are from three.

I mean we were one of the worst shooting teams in the country last year, didn’t bring in any shooters, and lost our leader in 3 pt % and makes. We weren’t going to magically become a good shooting team. We may have enough talent to make up for it, but look for shooting to be a big issue for us again this season.

Have one of the players switch hands to become a better shooter
