Stan shot FTs left handed today???? Is he back to shooting left handed only now?

Nate Britt of UNC switched to shooting right handed this year also. Worked out for him.

I talk about the positive and negative things about our program. All good coaches see the negatives even in the wins and the positives in the losses. I feel I do just that.

The sign of a great basketball mind!

This times like 100000000000000. I get that not everyone is going to agree on things, that is part of what makes this place great. The constant comments about other people's posting and posting styles is starting to wear me down with my interest in posting here

Edit: I'll add that I get the comments about some posters. But that is because they can only be bothered to post when things are going wrong and they always post the same dang thing

I didn't get to watch, but just looking at the box score I can tell this was a different kind of won. 4 for 18 from deep and we still won! Defense, rebounding and FT's!

I'm quite happy with the W. We did not play anywhere near our best game or to our potential, and we still beat a ranked OSU team. I thought it was going to be another ugly game after the 9-2 start. Thank goodness we fought back. Gotta come out and stomp PSU Tuesday.

I believe it was only to tell DD what the call was so he could relay to the TV audience. Right after it DD told us what the call and reasoning was

No, this is wrong, TV Teddy just wanted some camera time.

Wow. Just watching Crean's post game presser. At about the 2:30 mark, Crean actually said that "Hanner did fine, it just that there’s too much foul trouble". SMH.  I wonder who is this "Hanner" of whom he speaks?

Fair enough. You are generally an objective poster.

 

It's just nice to be able to enjoy a win after that MSU beatdown.

I believe Holt is still playing through an injury. Don't know this for certain, but I thought I heard that.

Looked like he had a wrap on his left knee

You speak the truth.

I like Cream and Crimson's post above----we actually found a new way to win a game today and at Nebraska.

 

We ground out wins----with better defense and rebounding.

 

We MAY be starting to turn the corner!

Hanner didn't play bad if you take the fouls out of it.  4 points, 2 rebounds in 8 minutes, it's just the stupid fouls.  He needs to find the middle ground between standing there with his arms straight up and going for every pump fake.

I was very worried at the start of the game. I was thinking, "Oh, No. here we go again." Then, when HMP got his second foul and Crean brought in Hartman to replace him I wanted to scream about what an idiot Crean was for not putting Holt in. But, Hartman's energy turned things around. He's the MVP for that and, I was wrong. It was a great sub by Crean.

Our defense was the best I've seen it this year. There were a few breakdowns in the zone, but overall it was a solid job. It takes effort to play D, so I'm pleased the guys brought it.

We weren't good enough on offense to win that game on the road, but we're heading in the right direction.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

One thing is for sure----we just added another resume' building win to our NCAA ledger.

 

Now let's go get some more.

 

I hope we take PSU apart and get our outside shooting going again---revenge for last year!

5 Observations.


1. Our best lineup is Ferrell, JBJ, TW, Hartman, and Holt. IMO.

2. Hartman would be a better Center than Perea. At 3 inches less.

3. Johnson looks more like a PG than a SG.

4. Ferrell is a All Big Ten Defender.

5. This team is teasing us.

I agree with #5 100%----we still haven't even scratched the surface of what we can become!

I'm sorry, but I still don't think our defense was any good today.  Glad we won, but c'mon.  They only had 5 TOs.  I'll have to watch the DVR and count how many lay-ups or wide open 3's they missed.  We're constantly out of position still and bite on ANY pump fake.  How many and-1's did they get in the last 2 minutes of the game? 3?  We don't communicate well and seem to struggle mightily when switching from man to zone and back again.  The one highlight to me is the 7 blocks.  We tried to give this game away.  

 

This team definitely has potential.  They can be something special, but until we buy into a consistent defensive effort, they'll be wildly inconsistent with their wins and losses.

I found myself zeroing in on and watching Hartman move around the Court----his hustle and effort is amazing. I am not sure we win this game without his intangibles----scrappy play---key rebounds and blocks---big shots, etc.

He continues to be the biggest surprise this year.

He gets it!

He gets that it's one game of 5-on-5 not 5 games of 1-on-1. He plays selflessly.

Not necessarily the most talented kid but definitely team oriented.
