Bowhunter Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 This one's on our guards .. They didn't get the ball to Thomas Bryant. That is all we needed, bad calls or not. TB needs to touch the ball on almost every possession. EARTH to TROY .... Where the F are U! MikeRoberts, BGleas and Ranger78 3 Quote
DChoosier Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 regardless. All bad losses. Why regardless? I think our D has improved a lot, for the most part we have cut down our TO's. OG has emerged, Crean actually sent Troy to the bench (sometimes) after TO's, etc. etc. I thought those were changes we wanted to see. Quote
pumpfake Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Right from the very get go, when Johnson jacked up a three immediately after the tip, I could see we were likely in trouble. It seems like not one player on this team values possessions - either with stupid turnovers or chucking up 3 pointers like it's a shoot around. This is the kind of game where I really regret wasting 2 hours of my weekend watching it. BTW - What the heck was with the BTN graphics? It seemed like they couldn't manage to update the score until the other team was 15 seconds into their possession. WayneFleekHoosier, FloridaHoosierGirl and Bruce038 3 Quote
Trish Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 What was up with Yogi? Just totally off. Troy, not even surprised. OG looked like a frosh. TB wasn't given much chance. Ill advised timing on numerous threes and who was taking them. That Zone defense!!!!!! What a joke. Told my friend to look out for Yogi having a bad game. His former basketball coach at Park Tudor got arrested this past week on child pornography. Quote
Magnanimous Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Your choice but I will be up and watching EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GAMES. Enjoy going to sleep at 8:30. Try 10, or again. Quote
cjvz20 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The zone should never be played against a team that has one player that can get his own shot. Foul trouble or not throw that zone away. U just make it easier on the other team by playing that. Make them best you by playing your best defense Ranger78 1 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Why do we allow teams to inbounds to their intended target in end of game situations? Why don't we guard baseline on end line out of bounds? Why don't we go 2 for 1 when we get the ball with 40-50 seconds to go in half? Why??? Ranger78 and MikeRoberts 2 Quote
Five Prime Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 This one's on our guards .. They didn't get the ball to Thomas Bryant. That is all we needed, bad calls or not. TB needs to touch the ball on almost every possession. I agree the guards need to feed the post better, but outside a couple anomalous games over the Tom Crean era at IU, we have never known how to feed the post. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 The team needs to get their collective heads out of their 4th point of contact, because good teams do not loose to PSU in basketball. If their fourth point of contact was loose IU doesn't lose this game. Quote
JSHoosier Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 This is an inexcusable loss - PSU is a very very bad team. We are the same team as last year. An 8 seed that loses in the 1st round of the NCAA. And what's worse is that such mediocrity is acceptable to Glass. I pray Troy goes "pro" after this year as he does nothing positive. Never seen a kid regress more than him. We will beat Iowa and Maryland and will lose to Illinois. The inconsistency and mediocrity kill me. Just when I thought Nancy Boy was doing a good job ... Officially done with him but will stay behind the team. I wouldn't say Troy has regressed, he just hasn't really improved. Junior Troy is pretty much the same as freshman Troy; insane athleticism and a basketball IQ through the floor. FloridaHoosierGirl 1 Quote

Are we better? Maybe. Not tonight. Quote

I agree over all we have improved but we are proving very capable of returning to being as bad as we were the start of the season. Jury is still out because if we fall flat on our face the next several games nobody is going to remember us beating bad teams and the one good win at Michigan got demoralized a bit today by msu WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
cjvz20 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Does anybody know what is wrong with TB?are you meaning health wise or just because he is busting his butt to get post position and they won't pass him the ball theriverpilot 1 Quote

Junior Troy is pretty much the same as freshman Troy; insane athleticism and a basketball IQ through the floor. Troy was much better last year than this year -- that's the definition of regression. We will be better without him (much like the addition by subtraction we saw with how the team has played since a certain injury earlier in the year). MikeRoberts 1 Quote
JSHoosier Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 the difference is junior Troy actually thinks he is a pro player lol Well the commentators tonight called him an "NBA player for sure". I was too dumbfounded to laugh; Williams only shot at the NBA is being a freak athlete, as a basketball player he's not good at all. Bruce038, Bobman1, FloridaHoosierGirl and 2 others 5 Quote
coonhounds Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 are you meaning health wise or just because he is busting his butt to get post position and they won't pass him the ballprobably means why was he gassed after sitting half the game and not doing anything significant to use that type of energy Quote
