Hoosier Roots Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Anyone else notice UConn was the only team to get a band, student section, and cheerleaders at the game? What was going on there? Neither Texas or Louisville have that at msg either.

Home Jersey Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Yes Mack played poorly. He's got to figure it out or the team's ceiling is seriously capped. Just doesn't look anything like the player he was in HS/AAU. Don't know what the answer is, or if there is one, right now. X and Trey also played pitifully on perimeter D. We don't seem to box out when a shot goes up. That's frustrating with so much size. The guards absolutely let the team down on the boards tonight. UConn's Newton had a crap ton of them and damn near a triple double Cupps got blown by Spencer once, then played really tough D on Newton. He might've looked the best of the guards defensively today, granted XJ sat a ton early. If Malik didn't go off, the score would've been a lot worse. Gunn, obviously not a perfect game, see him getting better even since the exhibition games. The 3 point D and rebounding will probably be weaknesses all year. But if we can give it enough time I think this team can still be good. I do think our back court and Mack will be what ends up limiting us/propelling us. Beat Louisville. 4-1 is about as good as we could've hoped to start. One game at a time. thebigweave, MemphisHoosier and Ngw7183 2 1
Alford Bailey Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 A lot of new pieces so suspect the offense will eventually find a flow. MM hasn’t been good but has tons of upside. Unfortunately guard play is a known quantity with guys that have been in the program other than Cupps. We saw what having an elite guard could do last year and simply don’t have anything close this year. Gotta have guards in CBB.

I don’t think Ware is a true post player. Yes he can do it, but his a$$ isn’t big enough. Against wider bigs he’ll have his issues. BUT, what makes him interesting is his ability to hit from outside. We have been missing that. So they can’t just play him like TJD. They need to play him like Kel el ware. Home Jersey, thebigweave, Alford Bailey and 1 other 4

Freshman are defined by inconsistency. Even JHS was pretty up and down last year, and you won’t find too many freshman as savvy as him.

How would a staff think they were going to land someone when they couldn’t even get him on campus for a visit? If they thought they had a Colorado kid with no midwestern ties then that’s staff malpractice. I agree they went after top end guards in the portal they just missed out. You could argue they should of continued to recruit guards in the portal even if they were not top end guards instead of taking a transfer commitment from another post player when your roster already had 8 of them FortWayneHoosier, MemphisHoosier, Muskie for three and 4 others 6 1

Josh Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Reneau was great! It's a shame the one sided officiating took him out of the game. Horrendous, horrendously one sided officiating. I have confidence that Xavier will become one of our best players. He just has to control his temper. Ware was great early, but became Oregon Ware in the second half. He doesn't like contact, we'll see how that plays out this season. Mgbako needs to come off the bench. Earn his minutes. Because he's a complete disaster. MikeRoberts and Whoozhers 1 1

He’s a total spaz on offense That’s not a good role for him considering he’s probably only second to MM in getting lost on defense. He gave up at least 3 3’s today with bad defensive decisions. There’sa reason Woody goes with Cupps when he wants MM out in the second half. It’s not particularly close either, so I’m unsure what some are seeing out there. thebigweave and 94Bulldog 2
