Rise in Robinson Recaptures the Old Sheehey

[maxwell 640]

During the Michigan St loss there were tough stretches on both sides of the floor that were difficult to go back and watch.  On the other hand if you go back and mentally splice out some of the negative segments, you'll see there were some very positive aspects as well.  Dakich commented last night during the Wisky game that Stan picked it up during the Mich. State game and Will followed suit.   He also mentioned that it should have been the other way around in that Will should have been the one to get things rolling.  I must say that having watched the Mich. State game a second time, I disagree with Dakich's statement quite a bit.  Sheehey in his career has not had to create and he has always been rewarded very well for his efforts of slashing to the bucket without the ball.  Until the Mich. State game where Stan has continued to improve on his penetration of the lane and found individual scoring success, Will did not consistently have that quality feed from a player like he received from Stan on that day.

  

Stan and Will are both awesome players in their own right.  I just felt that the combination of those two working together brought Will's confidence and flow of the game up during the MS game and has carried over into the last two games.  I'm looking forward to see the difference Stan makes in both our post and perimeter players in games to come as he continues to make huge strides on this team.

 

Props to the coaching staff as well as they continue to bring out the best in this team and find productive combinations of players.  I believe there are great things to come as this team solidifies the defense.  I also believe we are about to see a significant increase in our game 3pt shooting.  I like seeing Troy taking a confident looking three point shot during the game.  Even though he is short of having consistent success, I know that he is lighting it up in practice.  If he wasn't, it's doubtful that CTC would allow him to pull the trigger during the game.

 

Heres to solid preparation for Northwestern.

Stan and Will are birds of a feather who feed off of each other.

 

Great post.

Very well said. Going to promote this to an article.

Love Stan! He's my new favorite player!

I was telling the guy I was sitting with last night that by the time Stan's IU career is over, he will be at least as beloved by IU fans as Vic is right now. He has the attitude, swagger, and game to be an all time beloved Hoosier.
