IUBB vs Miami (OH) - Friday, 12.06.24 @ 7:00 on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

After last night's drubbing of "Remember The Alamo" we host Miami (5-2) Friday night.  No, not the one in Florida but the one in Oxford, OH.  Their 2 losses have been 81-68 to Wright State and 94-67 to Michigan.  They're currently on a 3-game winning streak.

They have some really good bars in Oxford.  Back in my college days, It was always a good destination to go and visit my pals.

We did our Walk-out to Miami of Ohio and it was truly epic.  LOL

An architect friend of mine had finished a tour with his son around Miami of Ohio. The father asked his son what he thought of the campus and university.

His son said: "They all look alike."

Father said: "Yes.  Just like Williamsburg VA.  All the brick buildings and white trim."

"No." his son replied..."The students..."

Keep the excitement down, fans. 

Coach Woody is changing his approach to the offense.  Right?

IU is going to keep turnovers down, get rebounds, defend and share the ball.  1 big plays at a time, generally.  And no hockey platooning at 8 minutes to kill the mo.  Right?  

Just win big.

The last game against slamming Sammy Houston may have been the least that Woody has played two bigs together in his 3+ years at IU. And it was effective.

Believe there were only 13 mins where Ballo and Reneau shared the court. More of that would be good.

Wasn’t reneau in foul trouble or was that a different game?

O/U on 3 point attempts for tonight? We average 17 shots a game (341st of 355 nationally).

Miami, OH?

I didn't realize we played against an Ivy League team this year.

They can all shoot. They were in the Game for the whole first half vs Michigan. Michigan eventually tired them out.

Well, given the concerns around our conditioning via the one and only tyme, this may not bode well for us haha.

Miami OH is 347th in 2pt % allowed. We're feeding the bigs.

We obviously have the players to have 2 separate styles of play. We have two 5's one that is excellent in half court low block old school half court pound it in basketball and the other that can get up and down and pass the ball out of the high post. You can't play defense with Goode and Mgbako on the floor together so which one makes more sense to pair with Reneau? I say Goode is the better half court player so put Mgbako with Reneau and Goode with Ballo. Play Rice at the point with Mgbako and Reneau, The Gambler at the point with Goode and Ballo. Tucker, Leal, Carlyle, Newton.....mix in with both groups. I'm talking about two 3 guard offenses that can defend. We could successfully do this when most teams only have one way to play. With the size of our guards I wouldn't be adverse to trying 4 guard line-ups around either of our bigs. 

We need to win 12 conference games and at least 1 in the BTT to make the tournament. Until I see Woody start something that splits the bigs and Mgbako/Goode I have zero faith we can get that done.

And the mystery behind Carlyle's absence continues.

Woodson probably doesn't know that, so it'll just so happen to work out for him lol

lol

Cupps seems similar. But more Leal/Gallo time makes me happy.
