IU vs SMU Post Game Thread

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Thought I had the wrong thread!  Cold sores and diseases?  WE WON!

 

Lots to be excited about---the low turnovers were huge!

 

And we still won on a cold shooting night for us----good things happen when we get 3 points for every 2 the other team gets!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Also---lots to be concerned about----interior D and rebounding.  Let's get Holt and April on the fast track to help Hanner and Troy.

 

And DD---keep rehabbing ---we could really use you.

I'm glad nothing exciting happened in the last 1:30 of the IU game! My DVR stopped recording at 10:00. Rookie mistake!!! Great win though!

me too Cody, damn I was nervous. Lol

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Overall---good win. This is a game we easily could have lost---and I argue probably would have last year.  Our guards are going to keep us in a lot of games and help us win some we should not!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Lamar is next up----let's see what Holt can add to the team.

 

I can understand not throwing him into this one as his first game as a freshman.

 

Especially after all he has been through.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I read that this is our 14th win over a ranked team in the last 3 years---a record--- tied with only Kansas.

 

What's our saying:  YOU RANK'EM AND WE SPANK'EM !

Since this was our big "marquee home game" and not a part of some other event, are we playing at SMU next season?

pretty sure that's a yes! Which means we see Shake Milton in action, maybe.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,898]

I love the minutes for JB and Yogi. Troy needs more than 23. Troy hopefully will trend to 30 or so in tough games. He was dynamic as a hustler/slasher/rebounder IMO. Hanner should go down to 25 or less if he is playing like he did tonight. Only 9 minutes for Stan. Kind of surprised but probably appropriate, will interesting to follow that. 9 played tonight. I liked that Max got some run. He'll hit those shots in most games. Hartman was solid again. Fully admit, I'm shocked at his improvement.

Glad it was a W, but we have some things to iron out.

I made you this gif. It might LITERALLY be the worst gif I've ever made. It's like a crappy tumblr gif.

Ummmmm----thank you????  I guess.   :scratchhead:

I thought about that during the game too.

 

I wonder what ole Shake thought about this one?

 

He will have his hands full if our full backcourt is back next year!

Watching the replay of the game.

 

-  RoJo had two first half threes that were inside the cylinder, keep shooting young fella

 

-  Troy looks better on the break but still forces it a bit, got bailed out on a few calls

 

-  Scored with about 10 seconds left in the half without calling a timeout

 

-  Perea had good help side defense but left the weakside wide open for offensive rebounds

I think this will be a quality win by seasons end. I liked our poise when we got down by double digits early. Hartman really provided a spark off the bench. Max is not shy. Troy seemed much more comfortable than last year. JBJ and rojo are really good players. Yogi is one of the best PG in the country, glad he has help scoring. If Hanner's skill set catches up to his body, look out! Nick is going to be steady for us all year. We must team rebound, that could be the difference in many games. Go Hoosiers!

All these guards need to watch some JIm Thomas tape speaking of team rebounding.That aggressiveness is what it will take with the size deficiency.

I did like that CTC addressed in the post game interview on BTN that he wasn't happy the ball wasn't touching the paint on a lot of those jump shots. I know we are going to be a jump shot and 3 pt shooting team but we have got to do a better job of getting the ball in the paint.

Nice win last night. Will be more of a challenge to beat good teams on a neutral court and on the road because the team is young and not very strong inside. Hanner is tall, long and can jump out of the gym. When you have those assets, there's no need to get faked out so much. I hope the staff works with him on waiting for the opposing player to shoot before he gets up in the air. Hope to see Holt in the next game. Good team win!

[HoosierAlex 152]

Worked a 12 hour shift came home and watched this game and just the way it played out it was a great team win loved it

[kbhoosiers 163]

Gotta love the fire that Hartman and Z bring to the table. Huge positive that Troy is back. His length and athleticism was much needed at times. I didn't expect HMP to do much but he had a quality game overall. JBJ is just an animal!

[HoosierCoop 3,885]

Here is on of the take-aways I saw and hopefully continues in the future.

 

Obviously we have the shooters this year and I see our offense as a play action pass (ala Manning).

 

If we start hitting the threes, the defender will have to open up the middle and that's when TW and Stan will be the effective wings.  That is effective as long as we hit the three.

 

This can be a really difficult offense to defend if executed correctly.

 

We couldn't have done this last year.

Wondering why Holt sat when we were getting worked inside. Major problem if Hoetzel is going to come in for Hanner
