Yeah.

Like Miami. Clean the floor with their sorry a$$es.

What did the floor do to you?

TJD definitely said hip pointer. Something to monitor 

[IU - Kaulie]

That’s a good way to start.  Strange game.  They missed a lot of easy layups but hit a few stupid circus type shots that always goes against us.  We have to rebound better.  JHS has at least one big scoring game in him so let’s keep winning.

TJD decided he was not going out like Edey.

Like a chump.  Nah TJD not capable of that

I liked this version of Miller Kopp tonight -- presented himself and was ready to take shots.

Reneau was fine in his time off the bench, just didn't need him for many tonight.  Bates couldn't hit tonight.  Disappointed in that since he had started to play better.

JHS didn’t even have a great game and we won handedly. Let’s get more contributions from him and Tamar. Not even scratching the surface! 

Go Big Red!

[AZ Hoosier]

Not to be a picker of nits, but it sure looked like Kent State was guilty of about 10 or 15 inbound violations after made baskets... 

However, take the win, and move on...

I’m going to pretend I didn’t read this and go to bed.

That too, but need to work on not giving up 17 ORs

[RaceToTheTop]

Three senior starters scored scored 57 points between them on 22 of 37 from the field, 5 of 9 from three, 8 of 11 from the line, 25 boards, 7 assists.

Thank the lord

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Except for giving up double digit offensive rebounds, I was happy with the way they played. It was great to see other players looking for their shots and not passing up open looks.
On to Sunday.

Good morning everyone! Were we going to breakfast? I hear Waffle House is exciting this time of the morning! 

It would have been Ruth’s about 30 years ago!

Yeah, TJD (obviously) and Race getting the bulk of the run in the front court with Malik getting a solid amount of minutes feels pretty solid in the front court. It would be nice if Geronimo could give them a spell for a handful of minutes again in R2, but not sure if he has earned the trust to do that. Seems he and Reneau are always good for at least 1 or 2 head scratchers a game. But Malik is a pretty good 3rd big.

I hope Bates can just see the ball go through the hoop a few times early on vs. Miami and start to get going.

We didn't shoot well at all as a team today, so I'll take a pretty dominant win... knowing we can play a lot better, too.

I'm cautiously optimistic but need to look more into Miami tomorrow
