I'm a bit concerned with our ability to match up athletically against longer and quicker teams, but man is it nice to see an IU basketball team that can shoot the rock again! Wilkerson is awesome.

Including the exhibition, we’ve now played two teams that historically have long athletic squads and acquitted ourselves well in both.  
 

Wilkerson, Alexis and Tucker are obvious B1G level players. Enright was always going to get by on toughness and grit. Conerway and Bailey have struggled a little in each game, but I’ve seen enough to feel comfortable that they should be able to compete even if they get picked on defensively at times. Sisley probably falls in the latter category too even though he played well today.   
 

We play in a league where guys like Martenelli and Loyer are major pieces. Anthony Leal was one of the best defenders last year. There’s just not that many squads full of NBA plus-level athletes that could potentially overwhelm us.  
 

I worry about depth a little. Thought it might hurt us yesterday with the foul trouble. Rebounding will probably be a struggle. Not bad yesterday but they definitely got some easy putbacks.

Coach managed the foul trouble about as well as anyone could reasonably ask.

Kyle Taber -

Idk how many people outside the #iubb circle realize how much the fans needed to see a game like this. A neutral court high major opponent early in the season and a team that’s doing all the things previous ones weren’t. So so pleasing to see.

Anyone have a status update on Dorn? I do worry about our depth a bit.

My understanding is he was cleared to play against Marq. Not sure why he didn't see the floor at the end

Seemed odd that he wasn't in uniform and didn't do any pre-game warmups after having done so at our home opener.  But I haven't seen anything that suggests any kind of a setback for him.  Maybe learn more during tonight's radio show with Fisch.

Not bad for AI. I swear there was a pic of them together once pre-game, it was probably when Knight returned but can't find it anywhere.

It's appropriate that Miller looks confused and a bit panicked while Woodson looks disinterested.

There were some signs from Jasai Miles today that intrigued me. He really moved his feet well on defense—seems like even though he came here as a scorer, he’s tentative on that end; looking to avoid mistakes.

But he showed signs of athleticism and effort today and he could be reinvented as a multi-positional swing man.

Until today the game has looked way too fast for him; today it appeared to slow down just a little.

He seems to have bought in to his role. The small amount of minutes he gets he plays very hard. Could end up being a solid contributor, which would be a testament to this staff and their ability to develop.

Would anyone care to post a summary of the radio show for those of us who are unable to listen

SIAP - in addition to the ESPN game broadcast, which bodes well for recruiting etc., the game writeup still appears under the NCAMM Top Headlines - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/46908832/tucker-devries-leads-indiana-marquette-chicago

This used to be routine (back in the day). Think we'll be seeing more of it going forward

Went to the game yesterday and Hoosier fans were out in full force.  Seemed about 75% IU fans and 25% Marquette.

The offense was a thing of beauty to watch, sets to consistently get our best shooters open looks and smart drives to the basket.  I'm so happy to see a modern offense finally and not the constant long two point shots.

First time since the Yogi's senior season that we have been actually fun to watch on offense other than when TJD would have to take over games by himself.  Amazing what coaching and some shooters can do.

I apparently can't post the YouTube link because the title has an emoji in it... but Field of 68 has an interview with Wilkerson after yesterday's game. The title of the video quotes Lamar saying "We can play with ANYBODY"

Assembly Hall is going to have some great moments this year. DDV told the team they had a bad defensive game because they kept letting Marquette get two feet in the paint, we didn't guard as well as we could've. We can be a great defensive team because our team knows you have to be tough to go into battle and win. That's pretty much the gist of the interview.

Hate when these social media geniuses do that. This is the full show sans emoji and I popped it up where the Lamar interview starts.

my take aways from this, Goodman is a goober (always has been). Lamar is advertised. Kid just seems to be so relaxed, but determined to have a great season. Great kid to rep IU!

Checking in, didn't get to watch because of YouTube TV. But wow, from what i've heard and clips here and there, this is a style of play that was missed for the last eight years.

I need to learn the roster and watch the game, but I'm excited. I can finally enjoy watching the team, the last four years were unwatchable obviously.

Doesn't take much to learn the roster because 1) there's only 7-8 playing right now 2) they all play their ***** off so you immediately get behind them and learn who's who.

Not Pearl, Drew. Not Few, Wright. Not Stevens, Donovan.

… and yet things look shockingly (tic) good! Almost like Dolson knows what he’s doing and hired someone that knows what he’s doing.

He knew what or who he was looking for, and he found him.  Dolson has been around the program for almost 40 years, I think he has thoughts.

If he shows up every week, you know he will be fun on there.  I want to see him interview Goodman and "get you in trouble like you do me". LOL  He seems like a great kid.
