And don't expect to be shooting more 3s. Woody says we shoot enough(12.7 per game) and just need to hit more. So I guess he's expecting us to shoot 75% a game?

We got beat because he didn't sub those guys back out. There isn't a reason the starters can't play 35 minutes if not in foul trouble. Woody won't. He's playing the "long game." Which makes absolutely no sense. Some games you just have to play your guys and shorten the bench. Auburn was one of those games. The backups went for too long.

Well, we all have opinions.

There is really no reason why no one else on the staff can remind Woody it isn't 2004.(And for reference, the Pistons took 11.8 per game in 2004).

[HoosierCoop 3,933]

Go right at Dickinson and get two early fouls on him.  Slow the game down and make FT's!!!

Fun Fact

 

12.7 attempts per game would be the lowest average on a season since Knights last year in 1999-2000. We shot 11.6 3s per game.

Enough? Yikes. We’re Ranked 361st out 362 team in this category.

Control the boards, slow down the pace, pound it inside... Make FTs. Have to hope they have an off shooting day too... 

Very worried about how well Kansas moves the ball and what that means for our defensive rotations/their 3 point shooting. 

No X, no backcourt depth... hard to feel positive coming into this one after Auburn.

Need to get off to a good start and a lively crowd to fuel the guys along the way.

Which players would you want to take more threes?

Leal

This is a game where iu should come away with the victory. Huge game at the hall is usually a good recipe for success. Problem is not sure this team has the fight in them to step up. Hope I am wrong

16-53 in his career, 0-1 this year. He can't get by anyone off the dribble so the defense knows to get up on him. I mean yeah I guess shoot more but in reality, if he's in the game we're in trouble.

Won’t stop others demanding he play more. He once was a 4 star Indiana Mr Basketball after all

The ones that are wide open and choose to pump fake and take congested long 2s or the ones the pass up wide open shots and end up turning it over 3 sec later.

Respectfully, why? 

[HoosierCoop 3,933]

I love Cupps but he definitely has a strange shot.  The few shots that he does take seem like he is jumping full board towards the basket.  It looks like a floating inward jump shot.  I can't explain it.

Needed to wrap that in a sarcasm font. Was joking as I thought LCS was the Leal fan. I personally don’t want Leal shooting more. Think CJ needs to figure it out and play better as he has the higher upside if you’re asking my opinion, but I’m just a coach from the comforts of my living room

Are they wide open with 25 seconds on the shot clock and zero passes? Not sure I would want that one but that's me

The second was I agree with. Long 2's drive me crazy. Worst shot in basketball.

Steve Alford.

We can agree on that. If he ever took a 2 pointer, I would be mad. On fast breaks he better stop and shoot a 3

Yeah wide open with 25 sec on the shot clock works for me.
