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

[TheWatShot 13,689]

15-4 advantage in fouls and we're up 2 at the break. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,975]

Why does Gunn always try maximum elevation on his jumper? It’s too much. Don’t always need it.

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

Should try PnR with Reneau and Ware in short corner or corner. 

[Crimson and Cream 5,782]

The good: Defense

The bad: FT shooting and X offensively needs to be a lot better

[Home Jersey 6,697]

How they come out in the second half will tell us a lot about this roster and what we're made of, mentally. 

[LamarCheeks 18,163]

Going on -- what, the 6th year -- without a knock-down shooter: a JBJ, a Roth, a Zeisloft. 

Stewart and Kopp were supposed to be, but were sorta -- meh. 

How difficult can it be to get someone like that!

This team with a Zeisloft would be a dark horse favorite for B10 champions

Dallion Johnson has really been the only offense for Florida Gulf Coast -- 9 points on three threes.  Spent three years at Penn State as a guy who was nothing more than a back end rotational guy.

Galloway shot North of 45% last year lol 

[Josh 12,569]

It's time for us to take this game over.  We can't count on these dudes.

Your lucky shirt from last year expired.  Switch it up fellas.  Rally time

[IUHoosier5 1,523]

X and Gallo cannot play like they have…period. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,975]

On like 60 attempts. That needs to be 150 or more.

IMO, can't really put Roth on that list.  Senior year was great but his other two years was a 37% three point shooter and a guy who averaged under 5 ppg for his career.  Defensively he would hurt us.

[Banksyrules 4,566]

guys..... it's the first game. We have a bunch of new people. chemistry takes a few games. grind it today and adjust.

[cthomas 6,332]

This is going to be a process. Always was with this many new pieces. I'm feeling better every game about Ware and that was my biggest concern. If you want a high volume 3 point shooting team, then CMW might not be your coach. The defense, minus a few missed assignments, has kept us in the game against a pretty mature team.

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

Would have felt a lot better about the half if we hit 14 of 18 free throws instead of 10 and were up by 6 instead of 2.  Can't leave points at the line like we have in the past.

[IU - Kaulie 1,891]

It’s the 1st half of game one so I don’t want to overreact but most of what I heard in the off-season were questions about Ware and his effort level and motor.  He has looked great.  Super active on both ends.  Really impressed with him.  It’s Mack that’s not bringing it and I don’t see the skill level to make up for it.  He’s not Romeo cool.  Yes, this is his first game so need to see more, but so far I don’t see it.

Also, really need more from the Banks/Gunn combo.  I liked Banks last year so less concerned about him but not sure Gunn sees the floor if Newton was healthy and he is being counted on.

Hope Derick Queen is not watching this game.

[RaceToTheTop 25,014]

Need guys going to the ball when Ware is getting blocks.
