Kopp is averaging ~5 ppg in conference play and P Stew ~7 ppg. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a scorer. They're both "shooters" who aren't really having anything consistently run to get them open. I believe P Stew has it in him to get open but Kopp seems a half dozen steps too slow on both ends.

 Wasn't saying they were 'scorers' as opposed to 'shooters', but right now the two of them are not working well on the court at the same time.  Basically that leaves X as the only guy driving in an X/Stewart/Kopp/Thompson/TJD lineup.  I'd rather have X and Galloway with the ability to drive and kick to either TJD or Thompson or outside to Stewart or Kopp, whichever is in.

I disagree somewhat.  Parker doesn’t move much at all on offense.  When he does move it’s not anything close to full speed.  Kopp is much better than Parker on the defensive end.  He is very active with his hands.

I'm not sure there is much of a win in this situation. The best case scenario is they would disrupt on defense and get out an run. If we only have 1 shooter on the floor then the defense will totally collapse and Race - Trayce will struggle in the paint. We need some players to develop in the off-season (not talk about developing but actually developing) to have better rounded threats.

Neither would ever be confused with an above average defender. P Stew gets hung on screens if he tries to get around them while Kopp is too many steps behind to contest shots. Again, neither is a plus defender.

When we actually run sets for P Stew he hits at a pretty good % while Kopp.. doesn't. Don't look at Kopp's win shares for conference play, it's horrendous. (this stat alone doesn't tell the whole story but paired with watching the games it's rather obvious)

St Johns up a dozen in the first half at seton hall

[Uspshoosier]

St Johns up 20 with 5:44 min to go in the first half.   St. John’s needs this game badly.

Just like that St.John's blows half their lead and then throws the ball away again.

[RaceToTheTop]

At half, St. John's 46, Seton Hall 36.

[RaceToTheTop]

At least IU had the decency to fire Archie Miller.  Chris Mack is dying a slow death.

St. John’s is running Seton Hall out of their own gym.  St. John’s up 24 with 6 min to go. 
 

if this score holds up it will be interesting to see how big of jump St Johns makes in the NET

They were 109 coming in so will obviously be inside 100.  low 90s?

Strange quad breakdown for them.  At 10-7, they were 0-6 in Q1 coming in, 3-0 in Q3, and 7-1 in Q4.  Not a single Q2 game.  That's a split that looks like Mike Davis's Texas Southern teams would have that would schedule tough P5 non conference road games and then get to their conference schedule.

Was looking at some net ratings.....St. Bonaventure all the way down at 92?  Ranked in the top 25 early in the year.

Yeah, that was an ownage from the beginning.  

I know that it was the first on-campus game there in like 40 years,  Have to say I see why.......that's a really, really bad gymnasium.  That wouldn't even make for a decent Indiana high school gym.

Kansas up 2 with 1:12 to go.

Kansas up 1 with 47 sec to go.   Self just called timeout.   This usually means he is about to draw up a play that will score 

[RaceToTheTop]

OT in Kansas.

[HoosierAloha]

That's comically bad

[RaceToTheTop]

Don't understand how the review rule allows you to review in the last two minutes of regulation but then in OT it resets and you can't review until the last two minutes of OT.  There are so many needless reviews inside two minutes of blowouts but a lot of things that could use review in OT.

Update on former Hoosiers three point shooting:

Armaan Franklin 27 of 105 (26%)

Al Durham 16 of 65 (25%)

Jerome Hunter 13 of 49 (27%)

(way back Hoosier)  Clifton Moore 4 of 24 (17%)

Goal tend call on Kansas.  Looked like a close but good call. 

Review on it?  Never knew that was reviewable.  If so, that's bad as it goes to the possession arrow if they overturn it.  Basically hands the ball back to Kansas despite them not actually getting the ball.

IMO, looked close but goal tend.  Certainly isn't clear cut.
