Had to work and haven't yet reupped B1G+, so didn't see the game. 

Really couldn't figure out what happened after a very quick perusal of this thread. 

So for others like me, here's the final ... 

[Stuhoo]

Devries looked pissed in the postgame.

Anyone have the box?

Our starting guards Burton and Harris were a combined 1-16 FG, 0-7 3pt, 5-9 FT, 2 assists, 2 turnovers.

Ick.

Our two ‘backup’ guards, Bryce and Prince, were a combined 8-16 FG, 6-13 3pt, 4-6 FT, 5 assists, 2 turnovers.

Just got done watching it and he may have been pissed in real time but I imagine the staff will enjoy using this one to really, really drive some points home to a couple of guys, hello Aidan and Darren, about just getting straight up outworked and Markus and Jaeden on some really dicey decision making. I thought that was a really good exhibition for these kids to have to find their way through. 

Haven’t read the thread, though I’m sure the big rocks have been well covered, but 2 things that struck me in real time: 1) Not sure how DDV’s gonna do it but a point’s gonna arrive not far out from now at all when Moody will just force DDV to find him minutes. Best on ball defender they have. Brings a level of energy and intensity that no one else does and is utterly fearless. He may get a little wild and crazy occasionally but you do not want to discourage that kid in any way. 2) WKU is pretty good. Size with depth. Defends like crazy on the perimeter. A couple of kids who can make open looks and a legit go to scorer. Imagine they’ll do a pretty good number on the Sun Belt and they look like 1 of those teams that gets about a 10 seed, knocks off a 7 and then gives some 2 seed all they want. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Against WKU:

• starters:  92 minutes, 5 of 25 from the field, 1 of 10 from three, 22 points.
• bench:  108 minutes, 18 of 32 from the field, 9 of 21 from three, 57 points.

Thank goodness for Sam Alexis. I think it’s going to be hard to keep him off the court. Him and Yigi had a solid high low game going. But Sam Alexis will be playing 24-26 minutes a game because he brings hustle and grit 

[Home Jersey]

Manhertz is the one who got the tech. I've noticed he has an edge to him and I really like it. Whenever there's some potential beef with the other team he seems like he is always in the middle of it, lol. He looks like the first freshman off the bench after 3 scrimmages, but will see if that carries over to the regular season. 

Sam, Yig and Sherrell are really gonna need to be relied on during the shooting droughts. Hope to see Sherrell get more involved with the offense outside of shooting 3s and getting putbacks. 

Lindsay and Prince are going to be tough to keep off the floor. Need Burton to stay healthy and composed. 

[realTomCrean]

Seems like a lot of talent. Lindsey, Alexis, Prince most impressive to me so far in pre-season. All 3 off the bench. Burton had an off night shooting which happens but he has missed a noticeable amount at the rim which is concerning & not doing a great job getting others involved. But what do I know! Go Hoosiers - Undefeated National champs!!

Lyndsay looks like a starter to me.  He's been the best player on the floor in these scrimmages and certainly passes the eye test.

 

[ronzo4IU]

Anyone know how to pronounce Vauhn's last name correctly?  Is it sounded out like Car-Vol-Uh?  Or like the announcer last night kept saying Car-Va-Luh?

[BA47591]

I have felt if everyone was able to fit together and play at their maximum potential, the starting line-up we have with Sam and Lindsey off the bench would be a big ten contender. I also believe from game to game and half to half the first five shoukd be fluid. In saying that:

Burton having been accustomed to be a scorer on bad teams and Harris being 2 years removed from any promise as an elite shooter concerns me. 

Based on what I've seen, Yigi, Sam, Mustaf, PAM, and Lindsey would be my first unit in practice this week.

Agree with a lot of this.  WKU was athletic and disruptive with one guy that can really score.  Type of team that likely wins their league and will be a tough 1st rd game.  Great to play against that in an exhibition game as they clearly were looking to knock off Indiana.

The starters weren’t good, which can be a good teaching game for the staff, and I suspect we will see some very good nights and some not so good nights from both Burton and Lindsay just based on how they are wired.  Hopefully not both struggling at the same time.

Sherrell is the one I worry won’t produce at the level needed.  Skilled, can hit the 3 ball and is good defensively but doesn’t have much scoring variance and struggles when driving or putting the ball on the floor.  Will be interesting to see how the staff develops and/or utilizes him.

This is probably what I am most curious to see as the year goes on.

If anyone is taking yesterday's result seriously as reason to be concerned I have nothing for them. Team closed with a lineup of second stringers that would never occur in a game that counts and contest was in an unfamiliar environment. 

To me the Butler and UNC games that were treated much more like tune ups is better evidence of what team should be. Maybe its because I was at first two and only saw few minutes if yesterday on TV. However, definitely not panicked.

I think of the three teams IU played, WKU was the best team honestly. At least they played the best game of the three opponents and it wasn't even close. They are well rounded team who played hard.
