?? Bako has had an excellent game. What are you smoking 

I did get up to go to the bathroom so maybe I missed something but he looked slow and was pretty non existent outside of that 5 points he scored in 2 possesions

[Home Jersey]

We’ve got a team y’all. 

[Dave from Dayton]

Winner!  Winner!  

And good news, fans!

[HoosierHoopster]

And a great steal by Malik to seal it

That’s an excellent win.

Too bad it doesn’t count. Still…the talent is there for this team. What happens from there…who knows.

Yeah, I'm the Big Ten FOY can't be counted on for anything.

Yeah because that is what I wrote right?

Just think...when we get Gallo, Tucker and Newton.

My thoughts from the exhibition. 
 

- Rice is good. Extremely quick, elite ball handling through traffic and extremely gifted at getting downhill. I think he could be a good passer as well. Question is, can he shoot? We’ll see. 
 

- Malik and Ballo together may work, especially if they continue the high low offense. 
 

- Defensively, looked alright. We let them drive middle a few times which seems like a non Woodson principle. 
 

- Can Indiana shoot? That will be the final factor of success IMO. Tonight didn’t look good at all.

 

Finally, it’s October. These games are damn near irrelevant considering neither team is ready for the season at this point. I’d like to see Trey start over Kaanan. Curious to see how Tucker looks. Will fans ever get to see Newton?

My big takeaway is Rice is a MASSIVE upgrade at the 1. He looks like an all-B1G level PG. and I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic. 

This is pretty much the main thing to take away. And we didn’t have Gallo or Tucker. Beat the #12 team. October so not looking too far into it, but always better to win than lose. Plenty of room for improvement too. If there wasn’t, that would be a different type of problem. Looking forward to the next time this roster is tested.

UT has some ballers for sure!

Big road win for the fake NET rankings for exhibition portion of the schedule.   In all seriousness great win even if it doesn’t count against a program that has a winning pedigree the last couple years under Barnes

Goode has got to play better

I mean…did you watch him at Illinois. He’s purely a spot up shooter in a system that doesn’t really reward them. I assume galloway will be getting most of those minutes.

I think you must have missed much of the second even the TN announcers were talking about how well he played. He was killing it for a good stretch and was our best scorer for a solid portion of the game.

Slow start. Great second half. I’d like more consistency from him too. I think Tucker will be more reliable situationally based on his mental abilities/schematic understanding.

I think Tucker has the most upside for next level, but will need to develop the outside shot (lacking) and we haven’t seen what he does defensively yet

[Stuhoo]

We just had a 41 point second half against an elite defensive team.

That is strong.

Rice vs Johnson?  Easy.

Are we talking about Johnson’s pulling contest?

[str8baller]

No shocker Reneau was our leading scorer. I’m still surprised by the people that sleep on him. I know Ballo will get post touches, but everything down there should start with reneau. 

[cbp4iu]

Hard to take stock in an exhibition I feel like but IU definitely in the 2nd half looked the part of a top 15 team. Also Myles Rice is going to will this team.

MR was fouled on the dunk too!

That dunk was the most athletic he has ever looked.
