Indiana at Tennessee (Exhibition), 10/27 at 3:00 pm SEC+ Network

[HoosierHoopster]

My overall impressions

- Rice is hands down our best all around player, best point since Yogi, and the guy who will take this team as far as it will go

- Malik is a deceptively effective scorer, quietly racks up points, and today looked better moving the ball, not overcommitting to taking the shot

- Our perimeter D looked better, hard to take too much from this game particularly because of how bad the shooting was from both teams in the first, but we forced TN into a shot clock violation late in an important possession, looked solid

Gallo is going to play more than Car 

Bako is longer and stronger, very good scorer, needs to be more consistent but a very good second half

We still need work creating space for shooters. TN had several 3’s off drives from their point, we didn’t

Exhibition or not, true road W against last year’s EE team? Very good W

You really have to remember how bad we looked against top competition last season.  

It's just an exhibition, nothing more, but teams are playing these to win.

I was unable to watch.  Who was on the court for us in the final minute or two?

Good analysis post game by the coach.

Also, if today was an indication, Hatton isn't going to play much.  Mgbako/Reneau/Ballo will start and when we go to the bench, you are likely to see combinations with three guards or a more traditional small forward with Bako sliding to the 4.

Hatton is playable against teams that aren’t physical.

In the last minute, offensively they put good free throw shooters on the court -- Ballo out.  Defensively, Ballo came back in.

The five on the floor to end the game (IU had a 4 point lead and were on defense) were Ballo, Reneau, Leal, Rice, and Carlyle.

Starters all played between 31-33 minutes.  Tennessee played their starters quite a bit as well with Ziegler getting 37 minutes.  6 guys with 20 or more minutes for Tennessee then it dropped to 10.

Starters then last moment ball handling and free throws shooting…Miles is a hero

It’s October but you have to feel good about what we saw. Beat a good Tennessee team on the road.

Carlyle really works hard on the defensive end. Him and Rice are completely switchable and equally capable of guarding very quick point guards

That’s my take as well. I like Carlyle on D but didn’t see much offensively. Maybe it was an off night offensively but I didn’t see anything that would say he gives us more than Gallo.

i think Carlyle and Tucker will be our 6th and 7th man and eventually Tucker starts over Mgbako.

He’s clearly got a significantly better form jumpshot than Galloway. Galloway is going to score near the rim better. So I’m guessing that Carlyle fits our needs as the primary two guard, with Galloway spelling both guard positions.

Glad the second half was much better. Hopefully they get to work and get a bit better.

I guess then he won’t get that many minutes during the B10 season, lol most of those teams are physical!   

[steubenhoosier]

Won a game v a highly ranked team 

On the road 

Scored 41 in the second half 

Against an excellent defensive team 

Huh…

[IUFAN1976]

I know it’s early but a little concerning that we were 4-19 from 3 but the good news, we shoot 19 threes and it’s an exhibition game!

I felt Hatton had some good moves but finished at the basket about as good as sparks did

Is that possible? Wasn’t able to watch today but some of those attempts from Sparks  were memorable for all the wrong reasons

PS: Myles Rice outplayed the best point in the SEC in the first half and we’re down one at half with unimaginably bad three shooting.

 

I didn’t get to watch it. How was Boogie Fland playing in this game?
