Game Thread: NCAA R32 IUBB vs Miami - 3/19 @ 8:40 on TNT

Frustrating guys but it could be worse. I don’t see the fire sans Trey and Kopp:(

[rcbowla 7,122]

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. 

Have seen zero of that so far tonight but we'll see I'm sure.

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.

Preach! Jays breakdown there on our offense was on point.

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

He can’t play at this level.  CMW knows it.

I don’t think JG is quick thinking enough.  He usually gets lost on D.

I do hope that the Big Ten takes note of the TJD offensive foul.  In Big Ten play, that's an and one.  In the NCAA tournament, it's an offensive foul.

Better than having Rex Chapman.

This is how TJD has played for the majority of the time at IU, hence my leadership comments for the majority of this season. If he brings it the entire second half we have a chance.

While wearing an expensive suit.

There you go from Jay W talking to Candace. “She wants him (TJD) to have the ball and so do I.” Get TJD involved

Yeah, but that was no foul.  Come on man. :)

Fino cannot play any worse. I know Woodson will go back to his stating lineups to begin the second half. We just can’t afford for him to play that poorly defensively. If he is hurt keep him out

Except he has and you’re ignoring it. For the hundredth time, our best offensive games this year he started and he and Malik opened the lane for TJD. Race is terrible defensively in this game.

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

Yeah, I'm just hoping he can make a clutch appearance like at the end of the home game against Purdue.

He was pretty quiet that whole game except for that game clinching layup.

[Josh 12,641]

We started the game down 8 - 0.  We're winning since then!

[Bankshot 544]

We’ve improved our shooting from last year, but we need to improve it again, and then improve it again to really be as competitive as we’d like to be, especially from the three.

Did JHS pull a groin or get hit in the nuts? Watching on a phone since my internet is still out.

They need to tell him to just rebound, play defense....be our Dennis Rodman without the mental issues!

[Crazy about IU 182]

We cannot afford to start second half like we started the game

Hit in the nuts on Miami's first possession.
