IUBB vs Rutger aka/Ruger - Tuesday, 2/7/23 @ 6:30 on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,958]

I do not want Rutger still hanging around for the last 5 min. of the game.

Bruce Weber couldn't be happier Rutgers made a comeback. Such a tool.

Well I can tell you, Rutgers feels this is the best half Indiana has played all year... As if they aren't shooting better than they have all year.

I just got home from a work function I couldn't get out of.  Who can recap the first half for me?

First ten minutes rutgers could barely get a shot off. Then I don’t know what happened. 

Without looking back, looks like we help in picks which is great.. but these guys keep helping with no pick happening. We gotta stop that. A contested 2 I'll take every time over a wide open 3. It's causing me an eye twitch thinking back to the "pack line" lol

[Alford Bailey 12,250]

Rutgers has to feel great. They should be down double digits

- Kopp played his best half of the season

- Tamar and Reneau great off the bench

- TJD beasting in the post

- Our on-ball defense the first 15 minutes was smothering. 

- Race is simply not explosive and can’t make plays on either end; but Woody is stubborn and continues to give him too many minutes  

- Per usual, a guy averaging 1.7 ppg went off for 9 points on us to keep them close. 

- Last five mins we started overplaying high ball screen and left open three-point shooters that let them trim a 14 point lead to three at the half.

The threes are killing us 

...and turnovers.

You could spot us a 30-0 lead with 10 mins to go in the 1st half and I'd still not be confident we lead by double digits at half. IU will blow it quicker than a $2 h**ker!

'25 PG Azavier Robinson from Lawrence North is on hand tonight.

You forgot to mention the half-dozen or so empty offensive possessions -- because of stupid turnovers (mainly, awful passes).

All is good

How long a leash does Race get if this continues to be tight? No way he's 100% and that Reneau or Banks wouldn't be better options currently

Gets a 3 drilled in his eye as I type

If Parker Stewart from last year is any indication, he'll ride Race out to the end.

[LIHoosier 24,997]

They called a flop!?!

[kreigh8 2,008]

Kopp is too wide open on tech fts. Constantly missing

Reneau made several turnovers and missed rotations. Race is playing because they play solid defense when he’s out there.
