Puerto Rico Trip 8/5 - 8/12

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,961]

1-8 from 3 in the 1st Q.  Enright picked up his 3rd foul

[Home Jersey 16,976]

Playing a professional team in a scrimmage with FIBA rules on a trip to Puerto Rico where they're playing volleyball and fishing and what not during the day, no scouting. It's August. Not worried. Curious to hear how this team responds to adversity - what's the body language like when you're getting your butt kicked? How do we show up for the next game against them? This trip was always about the staff getting insight to prepare for the actual season, not the W-L record.

Right. 

We are getting thumped by a Pro European team. People are still going to panic.

Also interesting to see what, if any, half time adjustments the staff make as well as what their game plan will be on Monday.

It's 44-27 Mega with 4:05 left in the first half.

I think playing a team that puts up a lot of resistance is better than playing only cupcakes during a summer tour. Better to face some adversity now while you're building a brand new team.

Will the committee consider this a Q1 or a Q2 loss?

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,961]

Osterman- On the evidence we've seen so far, Bailey has the ability to switch on an assertiveness with the ball that lets him play smaller than his 6-10 frame, with good handles and guard skills. When he gets into his go-to moves he's tough to stop, and he has a good feel for game pace. More of him looking comfortable like this is better for Indiana.

Is Mega in the SEC?  If not, they’ll call it a Q4

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,961]

Live by the 3; die by the 3.  We're just 2-12 so far

[Parakeet Jones 4,130]

After the rough 1st quarter, we’ve basically played them even on the 2nd. 
 

Edit: down by 13 at the half so we were +3 in Q2. 

[IU5355 964]

48-35 at half

Was 44-21

Nice run to end it. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,961]

Halftime 48-35 so we did hold our own in the 2nd Q.  I think Conerway is our leading scorer with 8.

4-16 on 3s            Outrebounded 26-18.

[RaceToTheTop 31,661]

Much better second quarter apparently.  Outscored 31-16 in first, IU 19, Mega 17 in the second.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 93,961]

The Daily Hoosier unofficial scoring.

Alexis 4   Wilkerson 5   Enright 4   Conerway  8   Sisley 5   Bailey 6   DeVries 3

Mega probably has a payroll that's far too low for the SEC.

And Sisley is the leading rebounder as well as third leading scorer.
