IUBB vs Penn St - Thursday, 03.14.24 @ 9PM on BTN

Recommended Posts

Honestly, the only way we slow down Ace Baldwin is to change defenses, especially playing zone, 2-3, 1-2-2, etc.  Even if Galloway plays, we aren’t quick enough at guard that can keep him from driving around us and getting to the rim.  Woodson will have to counter that and throw a wrinkle in his D by playing some zone.  What are the chances of him doing that?

I would love for us to play some zone 3 to 4 possessions a game.  I believe it was after the Penn State game we adjusted, and we are using our big men to hedge on high pick and rolls. This should slow down Baldwin some.

To me, it could slow Baldwin down even more if they change defenses, including zone, to make him think.  Also, maybe have 3-5 possessions where we play a full court zone press and drop back into a zone.

Yes, we are going to win.  Ware is playing extremely well on both ends.  Fewer fouls called in tournament play, so Ware shouldn't get into foul trouble.  With Ware on the floor, our defense can stop PSU at the rim.  No way they shoot the lights out from three against us again.

Prayer to the Basketball God’s. Not the real GOD. He’s too busy with problems in the World and our Country.

Pray that we control this game from the tip to final buzzer and we win by 20!
 

GO HOOSIERS!
