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

[kreigh8]

Gunn and JG competing to see who can turn it over first

[LIHoosier]

That was a nice cherry on top for the defense to end the half

[HoosierAloha]

Haha we got dunked on after that. Color me shocked.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

And people think this team belongs anywhere near an NCAAT? Lol. We are trash. Absolute dumpster fire. 

[Hovadipo]

Trayce with a casual 10-13-7 first half lol. Wish someone would help him!

[str8baller]

Lol…everyone walk back on defense and get beat by the slowest guy on the floor to end the half. 
 

Nothing encapsulates this team better. They probably read their preseason press clippings at halftime. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Still no Banks.

Not watching Hood-Schifino out there? Two on 5 is hard

Don't worry, he's also helping the team play pathetic defense.

I posted after Rutgers ID was a real possibility we could miss the tourney. 
 

Now I’d say very likely

9 turnovers for IU compared to 1 for Northwestern. 8 steals for Northwestern compared to 0 for IU. Defense and ball protection are what are killing IU.

Did we shoot any FT's in the first half?

The last Gunn turnover happened because Geronimo put him in a horrible spot IMO.

I think Gunn provided a spark for that run. Brought an entirely different energy to the court.

Oh for sure just both looked like neither wanted the ball. Sarcasm is my coping skill when IU plays like this so for that I apologize for laying it on so thick. Good to see them competing though

JG needs to have a seat the rest of the season. Time to get the future some playing time

Not true. When there is a switch or TJD is scoring, somebody needs to pick his Trayce's man and they aren't doing it.

[monskisprodigy]

I may be wrong…but I want to see what Banks can do in a 5-6 minute stretch. I have a hard time believing it will be less than what JG is bringing right now.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Well it’s pretty obvious why JG wasn’t playing.

He's not doing anything defensively that's positive. Just like the rest of the team. Not getting back, lazy rotations etc.
