Game Thread: IU vs FGCU - 11/7 @ 6:30 on BTN

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

Good defense for 29 seconds there.

[Hovadipo 55,175]

Once we figure out how to communicate, this defense will have teams in hell with the length we have available. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

Don't like this lineup.

Ware has the potential to be so great. If he can grow to learn to not bring the ball down so low in the paint, he would score probably 4-8 more points a game. He's 7'2? They can't get it as easily if you hold it up high KW

And that was a point Woody emphasized in last night's radio program --  COMMUNICATE

This has been hard to watch so far.

Banks Gunn and Walker don’t add a lot offensively. When Sparks is back one of those 3 will likely be the odd man out.

I don't think as raw as they are that you can have both Banks and Gunn in at the same time.  And right now Gunn hasn't done anything to show that last year was a fluke.

Need to run some action for Ware. Big fella has is just doing cardio out there

I feel pretty confident it won't be Walker. He's definitely looked the best of those 3 so far, IMO

[cbp4iu 1,401]

Need someone to step up and hit a couple baskets

[IUHoosier5 1,523]

I expected it to be tough to watch as there’s so many new pieces figuring out how to play together. I did not expect it to be this disconnected. Cmon, Hoosiers.

Agreed. Run a little pick n pop/roll with X

[FortWayneHoosier 5,919]

Our shooting is lacking. Need to get something cooking around the rim. Would like to see Ware get the ball down low

One of my biggest concerns for this year is Woodson not fully taking advantage of Ware's perimeter skillset. Some of his comments yesterday make it pretty clear he does not think the game should be played that way. I don't know whether we will take enough per game.

[coonhounds 8,793]

I am not as disappointed as some. We drawing fouls. Feels like if settle in we will be alright

This offense is tough to watch. No penetration at all. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

Mgbako didn't make that, but him driving is a good thing.

[Home Jersey 6,697]

Great rebound by Ware, caught the ball high - kept it there and went up strong to draw the foul. He needs to do more of that and he will be a 1st round draft pick easily. He is looking like our most talented/best player so far, pretty easily.

Next step, keeping the volleyball spikes in play
