I like Gallo at the 1 if I’m being honest 

Best option for the roster makeup right now. Capable enough to create his own shot if needed. Cupps needs to come off the ball as his primary role for awhile, if not the rest of the year. He's just not comfortable enough to run the 1 yet.

We were favored by 4 and  beating them by 16

Just expected more than 3 points through 7 minutes of game time I guess is what I meant to say

WTF FS1?! Just switched over to warmups of a big east game?!

Isn’t there an emphasis on blocking out in basketball? IU must not think it’s a priority I guess.

Some of you guys act like these players aren't people. Thank GOD we have a professional coaching staff, even if some amusingly (and delusionally, I'd add) believe that "90% of this board" could do a better job coaching than Woody and co.

It's downright hilarious, to be honest.

I just don't like booing our own players, personally

It's fine when you boo them from home though LOL

The sad thing is I've seen more blocking out this game than any other IU game this season.

When they miss, they can practice boxing out too. 2 birds with one stone.

I think we actively avoid rebounds

Check that. Block out drills until midnight. Then free throws till 3. While again blocking out.

To me anyway these gophers dudes look like every bit the athletes that we are!

[LamarCheeks 18,177]

Those Ware blocks look spectacular, but on so many of those shots, he could just as easily catch the ball -- or at least bring it down -- as swat it four rows into the crowd. 

Gaining possession is more critical than style points.

Glad we brought the energy tonight

Just start both at midnight, with our FT shooting they'll get plenty of practice boxing out anyway.

We watch the ball instead of finding a body to block out. 

Find a body, seal him off, then go after the ball -- that's so fundamental to rebounding, but we can't do it.
