Game Thread: vs. Northwestern 1/8/23 at Noon on FS1

[colonel06]

Just not the pressure on the ball and half-hearted effort at times such as not diving for loose balls, etc.

Still no Banks. 

Barring someone quitting mid-game probably can put that watch to an end today

More than defense, it's been turnovers which have killed us this game. At this time, IU has 10 more TO than NW: 14-4. NW has 10 more steals than IU: 12-2.

Pretty much every stats is a wash or IU is doing better. The turnovers have been killer.

Edit: Except FT. NW has doubled up IU on attempts (14 to 7) and makes (11 to 5).

TJD hasn’t sat today. Not sustainable.

This team is missing the tournament barring miraculously fast recoveries from Xavier and Race.

This season.

Disappointing on so many fronts.
Too bad we have recruits there today.

Has JHS either? If he did, it was a couple possessions at most.

Certainly not. Real trouble if he has to play 40 minutes against NW. At home. So much for the perceived depth this team had before the season started.

How can a team attack our press for easy buckets? I thought you had to sit back and struggle with it all game.

I’d love to see him as THE man next year at IU but if gets an opportunity why wouldn’t he leave? He’s more likely asked to carry more on his back than its worth in college

Even if he returns to college, I’d be surprised if it’s back to IU. We project to be even worse next year. Some other school could poach him with NIL money.

We lose TJD, Race, Kopp, Xavier next year. And we probably lose Hood-Schifino to the NBA. No bigs coming in from recruiting. A couple of fringe top 100 guards committed for next year. 2024 looks to be a big recruiting year possibly. 
 

Starting lineup for next year is potentially: 

Bates, Galloway, Geronimo, Duncomb, Reneau. 
 

Yikes.

Had to play 40 minutes at home to northwestern and possibly lose by double digits

JHS has had some rest. We had Gunn and Gallo in the backcourt for some run.

Doesn't speak well for Duncomb does it?

The Score app has TJD at 36 minutes and JHS at 31.

It certainly does not, but I’m not necessarily surprised by it either.

North fkg western.  Wtf.  

[HoosierAloha]

Oh there it is. NW is having a historic season by beating Illinois and Michigan State. It's okay we are losing to them.
