IUWBB vs North Carolina - Monday, 11.25.24 @ Noon

[TheWatShot 15,032]

Six threes in a row for them. 

 

Feels like this one's over.  

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

UNC getting too many second shots.  

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

Ciezki just doggin' it after that loose ball. 

You gotta go get it! 

Great game yesterday. 

Disappearing today. 

[spe317 867]

Tough matchup for third day in a row. Not a super deep team and we lack a go-to scorer. Lot of great pieces on the roster but Mackenzie’s absence highlights the lack of a scorer/focal-piece. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

We are really, really lazy on the glass. 

Down 17 now. 

Gonna be tough to dig out of this one. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

Lazy passes. 

Lazy defense. 

Lazy on the glass. 

Might be a little fatigue, but effort just seems lacking at times. 

[JerryYeagley23 5,006]

We don’t have the depth and without Syd it was always gonna be a tough ask. But these refs also let the game get far to physical from the tip which highly benefits UNC’s “physical” style of play. We’re getting mugged every time we go through the lane. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

Ciezki saved us yesterday. Killing us today. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

Another 3. 

Puts us down 21 after 30 minutes. 

Put a fork in us. We're done. 

Only question is if we can keep the final margin under 20. 

[TTT 1,196]

All the hustle, effort, fighting, and etc doesn’t do much good if you can’t shoot pure when open consistently and make shots and score in traffic.

[mamasa 15,805]

This looks like IU when I first started watching years ago. Turnovers, no team play, no shooting, no defense

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

We just can't score right now. 

Forget about a go-to scorer. 

We don't have one person who can score in this game right now. 

[reconmkd 4,685]

Wow, that is about all I can say.  How do we have no offense or effort? Why are there so many errant passes? Where is the leadership from this team? How is CTM sitting on the bench like a deer in headlights?

[mamasa 15,805]

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

I sure would like to have seen the Columbia and Baylor games. 

Maybe it's fatigue. Maybe it's not having Syd (thought she's not a huge offensive contributor anyway). 

Not sure what it is. But the effort is just nonexistent today. We're not just a step slow -- we're 2-3 steps slow in everything we do. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

Wow. 

I was worried about keeping it within 20. 

Not sure we can keep it within 30. 

[LamarCheeks 21,188]

There's 3:35 left -- and we have 2 points this quarter.

We aren't even running plays at this point, but it wouldn't matter if we did. No one is set in a shooting position, everyone is trying to iso against 2-3 defenders, no one clears out the lane for a driver, everyone's shot form looks awkward outside of a couple. What have these girls been doing the last couple years, sitting back and watching Mack take over each game?

[mamasa 15,805]

Not much positive to take away from this one

[JustWinWoody 3,405]

Ouchie!  Brick city!
