Lots of empty seats in the balcony tonight.

It's been a mix -- some bad defense and some shots where Minnesota hit shots where they were well defended.  More than one thing can be true.

[DoctorP 1,075]

Feels like our pace of play has definitely picked up this year.

Love that they’re staggering the Bigs more often

Not satire— We are really popping so far.

Sometimes it really pisses me off when IU fans feel like they can’t admit our Hoosiers are cooking because they are rooting for the coach to fail.

We’re playing pretty well on both ends. Lots of energy and physicality. Lots of ball movement.

Minny hitting well defended shots. 

They are now.  Ballo and Reneau were engaged on offense.  But the first 10 minutes the defense was more than suspect.  Now Tucker is cooking.  So is Goode...on offense.

Agreed.  We have played well in stretches. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,861]

Mgbako has 9 and Reneau 8.  Both have been on the bench for some time.  Tucker has picked it up in their stead.

[Dave from Dayton 3,232]

The passing and sharing on offense is improved.

[Hoosier DaDa 2,478]

Is that guy higher than I am first Made 3 of the year lol

If this was Purdue sure. But quality of opponent has to be taken into account. 

[LamarCheeks 18,995]

Can't blame Gallo for passing to Ben Johnson -- he was wide open. 

[Dave from Dayton 3,232]

Seem to be going after the rebounds.

[Stuhoo 80,938]

We can make mistakes and win!

This is what it’s like to play really hard and fight for every loose ball.

For those that didn’t see that when the score was close? That’s a you problem.

[cbp4iu 1,487]

It can’t be our best offense to set a play for Reneau corner three. Teams will dare him to shoot that all season.

[hoosierdogg 3,198]

Okay, Reneau can stop with the corner three shot attempts now.  Not sure anyone on Minny can stop Reneau or Ballo inside. 

[Claxdj01 15]

Galloway is so bad

[Hoosier DaDa 2,478]

What happened to rice?

[Dave from Dayton 3,232]

I am a Galloway fan.  But he is sloppy sometimes.  His trying to hurry, sometimes, plays against them.  3 turnovers?  Lots of good assists.  

They are out there hustling.

[RaceToTheTop 25,861]

This is where we usually have struggled -- get a lead, extend it, and then start giving up quick buckets.

Lead was 13, gave up a 3.  

Job is to now let it compound.

Galloway is Nuke LaLoosh right now -- lots of assists, lots of turnovers.

Left the court limping.  My guess is he will be back today.
