Problem with JHS on the bench is that Bates still can't hit shots.  Think we need good JHS in the second half to win.

Problem is JHS will shoot 20 ft contested jumpers and brick them. If they weren’t going in at the start they won’t be going in this half either. Very streaky shooter.

Galloway and JHS need to get their **** together. Not just for a few moments here and there but the entire time they're on the court. Kopp saving our ***** at the end of the half. Great 90 seconds from Banks and I think I may favor him over Reneau in 2nd half. Love Malik but Banks gives us the athleticism we need in this particular game.

Banks is a nice defensive matchup but gives us nothing on offense when they’re already clogging the lane on us

Yeah, I really wonder what’s going on with TJD. I know he got a hip pointer in the last game….did they give him something for it and he’s just totally out of it now? 

I really think it’s the failure to run plays for TJD. He barely has touches, and it’s not the D. He needs to be much more involved

We are so lucky we are just down 5.  It really ticks me off that Race, Gallo, and Miller are playing HARD but outside a couple minutes from TJD, JHS and TJD are playing with no effort.  Kopp should become primal and get into TJD and JHS faces at halftime.

Woodson about 15 min late with Banks. 

Really all season.

Kind of a contradiction, no?

How is Reneau going to help that problem?

Regardless of what plays you run he’s going to have 3 Miami guys around him at all times. Others need to step up.

Stu. Let’s get those Owls over the hump.

Nope. When he’s hot, he’s hot start to finish. When he’s cold, he’s cold the whole game. 

[HoosierHoopster 6,963]

Ok so is JG just in the dog house? Or is this still a health issue?

This is exactly the kind of game his quick athleticism, rebounding and blocking ability is needed. If CMW just isn’t playing him, that’s just bad, and yeah, he should transfer. Race has no chance defensively in this game, guys are just blowing by him

Yes, it was a really bad half for JHS.  Unfortunately Bates went 0 for 3 and had a horrible turnover.

Trayce just doesn't look like he's moving right currently.  His rotations to the rim have been really slow on defense, which isn't normal.  Have to think the hip pointer is really bothering him.

He can play and score in the opposite post. He’ll be going against a much smaller man. If they help it’s a dunk for tjd or a kickout 3. It’s an ok mismatch for us.

Wrong.

He has turned it around a number of games.

Agree, but get him the touches — he can kick it out, but pull the defenders. Cant do that playing outside

Commentators are ripping us a new you know what.

Ok, everybody take a deep breath and change your Hoosiers gear.  All hands on deck

People are wearing gear?

Jay Wright and Candace Parker are so refreshing in the studio compared to 25 year NBA guys taking 3 weeks out of their year to pretend like they know something about the college game.

This might sound weird but TJD should at times be smooth at first (hook shots and small jumpers) but be aggressive on the follow up if he first misses.  I think there’s a lot of easy buckets to be had.
