Slapping the floor and then immediately giving up a layup just makes the team look ridiculous.

Take this loss and use it. If we don't that's an embarrassment on the coaching, not just the players. But either way, at where this program is at this point, that loss is inexfrigginscusable.

We had a 43 home win streak against non-conference teams, third longest in the country....go down last night

[Josh 12,569]

So who won this tournament thingie?  E Washington?  SMU?  Us?

[OliviaPope40 6,452]

The problem is we start 5 guards without having a center down low and that is where we get killed more than anything on defense.

Thats true. But our guards did not keep their man in front of them either. They(EWU) Had lots of offensive boards. If the guys that did not play, cannot out perform the ones on the floor, why were they recruited? Why can't Coach use his play book? Why can't he make in game adjustments? Why does he not understand the timing anf use of a time out?

I hope the IU team and coaching staff takes a look at that photo.

I disagree... Nick has passion... him and Hartman are the only 2 I consistently feel WANT to win the game.... the problem is the 2 of them can not carry us.... He is trying to rally the team, it is part of his leadership style to be passionate like that... Yea he then gives up the lane and a layup but that is why he is trying to get his team to help.... get everybody pumped up...

 

Yogi & Troy both have insane amount of skill but are too greedy... only worried about getting theirs not about the team winning.

 

Stan & Rojo are streaky and could be really good... they are still on the fence to me.

 

JBJ scares me... I know he can be good, real good... but he seems very similar to Hollowell on the court in terms of demeanor... I guess they say it is a good thing to not force, and let the game come to you... but in a close game when you are supposed to be the 2nd coming it is time to take over... get aggressive... 7 points is ridiculous... (10 but the last 3 was just given to him)... Was his defender that damn good that he never was open all game... and if so work harder to be open....

 

HMP please just foul as hard as you can everytime somebody drives at you... at least you will get 5 stops during a game (as opposed to 0 the way you are currently playing).... and then we will be forced to play somebody else who can rebound and for god sake mayb play tsome interior defense!!!!!

disgusting.

lol let it keep sinking in. Thanks to lazy off season and lazy play and lazy coaching pethetic

[HoosierCoop 3,889]

Agreed.  Don't ever do that again! 

 

Talk about taking the gas out of the crowd.  That is a fast track way of doing it.

 

You can slap the ground all you want...doesn't change the fact that this defense is pathetic.

I agree with a lot of this. But Yogi WANTED to win. He did his darn best to win that game. He did exactly what you wanted JB2 to do. He was aggressive and took over. It didn't result in a win but he worked hard and that loss isn't on him.

I hope it was a learning experience for JB. We need him to be more aggressive, he sat back and let things happen.

A lot of this loss falls on CTC to be honest. Poor use of TOs and strategy. Troys dunk attempt on that one play was a major momentum changer, and Hoetzels 2 bad plays in a row are easy miscues to blame.

Defensively, it was all a mess.

But, Hartman, Z, Yogi played with heart. I think Troy played with heart too, he just doesn't have great basketball judgement. JB, Stan, Rojo were not what we needed. Hanner, well, he was Hanner I suppose.

Pappy, don't watch. It will just make you crazy. Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday instead.

I didn't.  Deleted it from the DVR.  Fly home to Indiana tonight, Have a chance to go Friday, but will probably pass and spend the evening with the wife and daughter.

I hope you are right... I got more of the impression that Yogi wanted to win.... not that Yogi wanted IU to win.... of course all the players want to win the game, they are all super competitive (at least I hope and assume those statemenets)... And I will give the credit to Yogi... he put the team on his back and tried to carry us to victory... but how did that turn out... the same way it turned out last year... he can carry us to some victories and other times we can not win on his shouders.... If he really wants to win then he needs to involve all the pieces.... He is a very good player and I wouldn't trade him for any PG in the country, just hope he realizes it is about IU and not K'Y'F.
