Ware to the NBA if he continues this. Especially in this weak draft class. 

Most of the services have been projecting  him as a first rounder since the beginning of the season.

[Alford Bailey 12,821]

Big sigh of relief on MM. 18 and 8

Ware continues to be a beast.

Walker will continue to contribute.

Wish we had a guard.

Malik Mack, you are a Hoosier. 

[realTomCrean 2,028]

Guard depth seems worse because our starting 2 gives almost no production

[str8baller 6,417]

Mbako seemed to play harder tonight and that helped him get into an offensive rhythm. He’s still pretty lost on defense, but some of that can be offset with hustle plays—grabbing loose balls, tracking down o-rebounds, etc…—which he made several of tonight.  
 

Additionally, I liked how he, Cupps, Banks and to a lesser extent Reneau (because i expect it out of him) responded to Johnson going out.

Agree.
You mention Walker and, after a couple of WTF games, it was good to see him get 9 points on 3-4 shooting and 4 boards.

Kel'el Ware: 28 pts | 12-of-13 FG | 8 reb | 3 ast | 2 blk

Mackenzie Mgbako: 18 pts | 7-of-13 FG | 8 reb

Malik Reneau: 17 pts | 8-of-14 FG | 4 reb | 5 ast

My message to Malik Mack or that scrappy, red-headed little Army guard (can't remember his name) ... 

[FortWayneHoosier 6,481]

I want Trey to be successful but man he has been very off. He’s 3-14 from 3 pt range so far this season, I look for them to start falling for him.

And our starting 1 is often dinged up. And our backup 2 didn’t make a monumental leap into a rotation guy. And our backup 1 is a 100-ish ranked freshman who plays like it at times.  
 

Not shaking the bush for a combo guard in the portal was a big miss this offseason. But…what can ya do?

[JSHoosier 21,595]

Ware was a beast. 

Mgbako with 18 and 8 stepped up, hopefully that continues.

Reneau playing well has become expected.

We need Johnson, preferably playing well and taking care of the ball but especially for depth.

Galloway back to having a busted shot.

Hey Malik Mack, 

Literally. Someone better have been in his ear in the post-game handshake line. 

[HoosierHoopster 7,660]

Of Malik’s 5 assists, the first lob to ware in the lane for the easy dunk to break the zone was pretty. That was often there for the taking. Hope to see more of that

[Home Jersey 12,254]

Defense still has a ways to go. Backcourt leaves a lot to be desired.

If Ware, Mack, and Reneau play like that on offense most nights, we will be tough to beat. 

Harvard is an above average team. We got it done despite X being injured/out in the second half and Malik not 100%. 

A lot to like. A long way to go.

I do too. They weren’t even close today. 

[HoosierHoopster 7,660]

Gallo’s shot off again— but he did have 5 assists, should get credit for the offense he brought despite the misses

[FortWayneHoosier 6,481]

[DChoosier 9,222]

Dear Mr Mack.

I realize that Harvard is a pretty good school but this could be you on the IU team plane next year:

I think 3 of his assists were lobs to Ware. Reneau is a good passer when facing up. With his back to the basket and a double coming…not so much. If he fixes that he could really make the ball move for this team. 

[Home Jersey 12,254]

Are we REALLY going to continue the platoon sub pattern? I hope like hell not.
