Find a way to split Arizona and Kansas, get guys some rest and less minutes against Elon and Kennesaw St and then we don't play between 12/23 and 1/5 which will be great to get guys fresher and healthier.

Please NO! Burn the boats! Go after Zona and KU with ferocity!

Scratch and claw 2 more W’s!

GO HOOSIERS!

See you in Vegas!

The bad, 15 turnovers.  The ugly, 7 of those by Johnson.

There were times last season when he was our best player, and times when he should've been at the end of the bench. 

Was hoping as a 23-year-old in his fifth year of college hoops, he'd shake those Jeckyll & Hyde performances -- but apparently not. There's still plenty of season left; hope he can find some level of consistency. Not holding my breath, though -- seems like if it was gonna happen, it would have by now.

I've said it before, he has the mental stability of a bag of rats in a house fire.  He can be very good, but bad things can snowball and turn ugly in a hurry; he can be one of the better players on the floor, or the absolute worst.

I believe you can say that about our 23 year old starting power forward as well.

Is it just coincidence that XJ has melted down the 2 games that JHS is out? Obviously, that wasn't an excuse last season, but jarring to see such a change from the first 7 games to the last 2. Unforced TO's, silly fouls, forcing everything. Very odd.

Not taking them out. Just pointing out that as bad as Rutgers was, it was a couple of guys hitting open shots away from being competitive. Has nothing to do with scheme or whatever. Guys have to hit open shots. 

Sorry, misunderstood your point as I thought you were saying we weren’t playing that well if we backed out the threes but you were noting how bad we shot at Rutgers.
