First game, offense will ideally come along. I’ve pointed out my concerns with the perimeter shooting but it’s way too early to start panicking. 
 

 

It’s never too early

Another weak foul call on Reneau. Even the guy who got "fouled" was surprised at the call

B1G refs in midseason form, which unsurprisingly is s**t

XJ has to hit those free throws.

free throws. sheesh

[IUHoosier5 1,561]

That’s really, really bad, X.

Apparently getting shooters is overrated.

[Home Jersey 6,879]

We are getting serious help from the refs, to be honest. This foul disparity is not going to be the case in the second half, I imagine. 

[HoosierTrav 7,748]

Offense looks AWFUL! Defense has a chance to be elite. 

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

If Xavier Johnson is your best guard, you’re not likely to be a very good team. Just my feeling so far.

When you get the ball inside as opposed to shooting threes, you are going to get to the line.

We NEEDED guards so badly. Damn.

Give me 15 minutes of Cupps the second half.

X trying to be the guy…bring energy and facilitate. Push the ball and Get people going. 

Would love to see Mgbako apply some effort on defense…just once.

They are taking away the pick n roll to Ware, Woody has to figure it out.

I was telling my kid just how pathetic it was. 6 year player point guard at iu needs to hit those

I don't want to start some sort of debate, but... I do wonder how Cupps would look with the first unit and XJ leading the second unit with more of a scoring focus.

If Cupps and Trey are our starters next year, we are going to be horrible 

[HoosierTrav 7,748]

I think this team really puts it together midway and towards the end of the season. Hope we can win enough games before then that gets us into the tournament. 

[coonhounds 8,835]

Ok free-throw shooting at iu needs fixed asap

I think Mgbako is trying, but to me he looks genuienly LOST on D, a lot of the time. And when his shot is not falling, he struggles to affect the game in a positive way.
