TJD a double double in the first half  -- 13p  10r

Get him his averages to start the second half and let him sit. 

[HoosierAloha 29,900]

Race just out there moving dudes out of his way.

[LIHoosier 25,014]

If they need 20 minutes to review this, can we just start halftime now?

Good half after a sluggish start, second unit got us going again.

 All is good.  We'll get on a run before the half is over and coast in the second half.

The Old Fart isn't as senile as you all thought he was!   

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,154]

IU led just 21-20 with 6:43 to go before a 22-6 run to end the half.  The Hoosiers made 13 of their final 20 shots before the break.

Doesn’t surprise me that we started slow. Xavier took a lot out of them Friday night.  Took a little time to get back into the flow.

He’ll need to be playing well for us to go deep in the tourney. This is the exact type of game to let him stretch his legs and gain some confidence. Benching him for some missed shots  would be bad, imo. 

Yeah, but on the other hand he was making me mad!

I've never believed that shooters need to shoot their way out of slumps.  In fact I usually prefer they stop shooting, focus on defense, and let that D translate into some easy breakaway layups.  Making bunnies helps you make shots later.

I’ve never seen someone have to put less effort into a first half double-double. He’s just chillin’ and getting what he wants when he wants it. It’s kinda comical to watch.

TJD is just such an amazing player.  If we can’t win something of merit this year it’s going to be one of the greatest squandering of talent ever

Agreed, getting to the line or getting some easy ones before taking GOOD shots from deep really helps.

That seems to have been a trend this year.

[HoosierAloha 29,900]

Miller Kopp with a 2pt make!!

[LIHoosier 25,014]

Its your fault JHS for having a face

[HoosierAloha 29,900]

Wish XJ would slide to the corner and we bring another shooter to the wing when TJD is in the post. We just stood there.

[RaceToTheTop 23,810]

Miami took 19 threes in the first half.  Think we are going to see teams shoot a lot from deep against us as it's unlikely they are going to beat us pounding it inside.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,154]

JHS takes another one to the face and he's called for the foul??????????????

[RaceToTheTop 23,810]

That'll be a flagrant.  Not intentional, but that's the rule.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,154]

Trayce Jackson-Davis is now all alone in eighth place on IU's career rebounding list with 827.
