Oof, IU is about the only team that would miss with that much daylight.  Even I could hit some of those they're so wide open.

Gunn may not be there defensively yet, but he seemed to be putting more effort into it than the majority of the rest of the team.

Perhaps. But Gunn's defense is as bad or worse than the player he substituted for (Galloway).

Here is the picture of JG I was talking about

Yikes.  My dad wouldn't miss that and he died 21 years ago.

I think JG is trying to double-team TJD

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

Yes, it's because we're missing XJ and Race...............

He's even too far away for that lol.  Maybe he thought he saw a squirrel.

Well.....it'd be difficult for him to get lost on the floor if he's stuck on the bench.  Granted when Thompson was healthy he still got around 12 minutes per game, so plenty of time to wander around no man's land and give up 3s.

Is Leal still hurt? Why hasn’t he played? He’s not a frosh and plays defense. 

I think he was the one defending, very aggressively, the guy trying to dribble the clock out at the end of the game.

I finally got around to looking at the box score and....yikes.

They let 2 (!) players hit 7 3-pointers against them. 2. In the same game.

PSU shot better from distance than IU shot from the FT line (both in volume and percentage).

PSU made more 3-pointers (18) than IU even attempted (14). Considering IU only hit 4 of those shots, it's probably good that they didn't shoot it more.

Defense still not only is allowing opponents to shoot a high percentage, it's also not generating turnovers. Only 1 steal, 7 total PSU turnovers.

IU's total turnovers were slightly improved at 11, but they still gave up 6 steals.

We get thrashed and Duncomb still sees no PT. No way he's back next year and at this point the parting will likely be mutual.

I think if we had a good coach Logan would be seeing meaningful minutes. Just my opinion.

Whenever I watch him, I notice he is slow on his feet.  

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,307]

WE SUCK. Clueless staff and team.

Northwestern beat us with simple pick and drive offense.

Penn State beat us by drive/kick, simple passes around the horn, and us being stupid.

Very very basic basketball.

Those photos back up what I told one of my buddies that missed the game. 
”it’s not like some guy went off and hit a ton of tough and/or crazy shots. They literally looked like they were playing a game of H.O.R.S.E from the perimeter.”

He can't be that bad, can he?  Seems like a typical middle of the road Big10 big.

I told everyone several days/posts ago that it was bad, like 10U bad.  :)

I didn't watch the game but what I saw PSU was playing "around the world" while IU was playing "spin the Geronimo" to see who would leave their man WIDE OPEN.

I think if they were on the floor, there is a good chance our 7 could have defended their 5.

That's a box and one defense with the one stuck in the box.

I'm not sure I'd put my money on them to cover, on defense or the spread.
