Regarding the game tonight, I would love to see Ware get aggressive and take it to Garcia.  IMO, Garcia is playing better than Ware.

I agree with both points. Not sure Ware has had a good game since COVID

My son had it last year a week before tennis started and he said that never had stamina the whole season.  It really showed as he was done after the 1st set.  COVID sucks :(

I'd like to see...

Galloway

Gunn

Mgbako

Reneau

Ware

Bench: X, Walker, Leal. If X is having a bad or X and Galloway are in foul trouble, play Cupps. No one else. No need to try and go 10-11 deep. Keep it at 8, maybe 9 if needed.

That's nuts!  I really thought that X might get the sack. 

Oh well.  That's how the ball bounces.  What did someone say about leadership on the team?

I thought that when IU got into conference play that things would be different.  

Fooled me.  At least twice.  No...it is actually about 6 or 7 times.  

I am resigned to enjoy IU basketball when they play in AH.  And I'm excluding the time that Woody uses the hockey substitution by platoon.  Oh, and when the defense lags.  And when they throw the ball away or can't hit.  Or...

Give up 100 offensive rebounds

We've already given up 4.

We are up to 6 now with 4 turnovers.

Johnson has 2 of those turnovers and still playing.

Nevermind, make that 3 turnovers.

I think having 13p 17r 3b and playing 36 mins is pretty good

Against NEB he was 9-12, 20p 10r 2a 2b 2s... he did have 4 TOs 

[Chris007]

I wouldn't be surprised to see X come off the bench tonight if he plays.

He's being graded on a TJD like scale. Dude gets15 and 12 and he isn't playing well. No, he is playing well but everyone around him isn't so it seems underwhelming. He wasn't good against OSU though.

Any official word on his status?

He and Malik have improved a pretty substantial amount. Most of Malik's issue was just getting in shape/fixed his conditioning issue. And, I guess in a way that was Ware's issue, as well. 

We have to get that level of improvement out of MM going into next year.

I was thinking that was a distinct possibility.

As usual, don't get too hung up on players listed as questionable.

While the team hasn't played well, Ware has averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds since he had covid and he's 18 of 31 from the field.  The problem IMO is he's been the only guy rebounding.

Didn’t there used to be an app or something that syncs up the radio call? I’m seriously considering it.  
 

I can handle a crappy season, we’re Indiana after all. But I can’t do it to a Bardo soundtrack. 

Huh. Glad you brought that up. Never knew that. I saw one way is to pause the TV feed until the radio/internet feed catches up. Seems pretty simple. But 9.5 outta 10 times Fisch is about 30 + seconds ahead. I can’t seem to speed my YouTubeTV feed up.

I don’t want to be stuck with what’s her name and what’s his name for the commentary tonight.

Give me FISCH or give me that cute sideline reporter from the B1G + network. ;)

Is there a reason that Newton doesn't say season and why no red shirt as of yet?

@Loaded Chicken Sandwich is going to have a heart attack!
