Nantz: You never would've thought after it was tied at 47 that Indiana would fall flat again. 

Oh yes, I would. 

He can't leave for Augusta soon enough.

Ugly game by us today. Reneau deserves Races minutes. Our inability to hit the 3 kills us.

It was always going to be the biggest factor this season. 
 

Relying on Kopp who constantly plays mental games vs himself is not a good option.

It’s honestly amazing any of us have any expectations for this program after the last 25 years. But we still do. It’s amazing, really.

This game doesn’t change my opinion on our tourney prospects which is…..we can beat virtually every team in the tourney but also lose to virtually every team. Hope we get a couple of wins and play in the sweet 16 but who knows.

Question:  who is the worst team IU has lost to this year?

Effort solves a surprisingly large amount of problems and best thing it’s completely in your control. 

Effort doesn't always lead to good results, like all the times this year we've tried to block shots and proceeded to give up offensive rebounds, or over-helped and given up a wide open 3.

This is what happens when you just play the same guys and make no adjustments 

[maharkn 1,622]

Now to go get beat in the 5-12 game to a team that shots a lot of threes

What would change what we are seeing?

Making 3 point shots. Or at least having threats to make them.

I honestly thought this time the score would just be reversed.

Do you believe in miracles? Yeah, neither do I!

Ultimately, you can’t really shut down a team that shoots a lot of 3s. They just have to miss. 
 

You can however shut down a team like IU that plays in the paint. Especially a team like IU that also refuses to shoot 3s. 
 

IU makes it easy for teams to defend them.

Pressure would do amazing things but we don't have the personnel or play the personnel for that. We have a massive advantage in the post but we don't force instead we allow them to dictate how the game is played.

IU Midgets struggled to get a defensive rebound

Maybe we just need guys shooting three pointers with more effort.

Amazing when announcers pick up on that defensive e in multiple games.

[DChoosier 7,103]

Kudos to PSU. After today they will have won 8 of their last 9 games.

Is foot on the circle restricted area?  Have to say I don't know the rule.

Sounds like a recipe for some airballs

Well good. Glad to see you show up for a loss early for once.

So your solution would be to just stand there?  Because anything else would also be effort. Of course intelligent effort is best of all. But baby steps. Let’s try first then we can add in the complex stuff
