IUBB vs Providence - Friday, 11.29.24 @ 11 on ESPN2

Cupps hasn't been able to produce much on court, but I do like that he is trying to be talk to the guys. I don't believe I see Rice talk half as much

I can't with Woodson. Plays with fire with the lineups after 2 devastating losses

Why did we take out Hatton?

Really good move by Ballo there to wait on the defender.  Good pass by MM as well.

Cupps didn’t improve in the offseason.  Thats on him and very little reason to play  him at this point.

Not sure Hatton and Ballo on the court together works defensively.  I really like what Hatton has done so far but having him be a 4 would be playing with fire IMO.

He's been pushed a couple of times by guards with very little contact.  He's just not big enough or fast enough.

And the intangibles aren't really there to compensate, either.

I understand that, but I meant leave Ballo out all together…..that lineup we had running pushed us to a 10 point lead.

Don’t understand why Woody won’t play Leal. He can get hot from three.

MR is a nice scorer but I’m not sure how much more evidence we need to see how much better we are when he is on the bench. Our most competent stretches of basketball are when he isn’t playing. Using him out of position at the 4 and Bako at the 3 is coaching malpractice.

If we get dog walked by Providence maybe they'll just leave Woodson in the Bahamas. Or maybe it's wishful thinking that IU would be that smart.

That's what I said. Leave him there when we go home. He's already mentally retired anyway lol

We are so sloppy with the ball it’s my numbing.

[LamarCheeks 22,036]

Abdur-Rahim is the son of Shareef and nephew of the Amir Abdur-Rahim -- the South Florida coach who died just before the season. 

Tragic story -- still not sure what happened there. All that ever came out was that it was surgical complications. 

Thought that guy would be a P4 coach at some point. 

[coonhounds 10,544]

I don't care what happens here. We suck!

I hope you're at least comfortably numb. 

[OKHOOSIER 5,890]

If Providence could make some of these wide open threes we’d be down 5

Oh yeah, I made sure that gummy was taken enough time so it’s kicking during game time.

[LamarCheeks 22,036]

No. 55 just bought a house in the lane! 

[LamarCheeks 22,036]

That was a pretty sweet break. 

Rice to Gallo to Bako for the dunk.

Not one dribble.
