Wasn’t able to watch today….what the heck happened? I taped the game, but doubt I’ll watch it considering the outcome.

Jakai walking pretty natural up and down those stairs!

That good news, but more than likely a red shirt this year.

But don't you have to separate "production" from "skills"?

Does Edey "produce"? Yes, he certainly does.

Does he possess a bevy of "skills"? Not that I've seen on display. He has a soft touch around the basket, and knows how to gain leverage and position with his elbows and shoulders...

But can he handle the ball as well as, say, Kel'el Ware? No... Can he dribble drive beyond 2 dribbles? Not that I've ever seen. Can he shoot from outside in game conditions? Never seen that, despite @Stlboiler23's contention that his FT % (70%) makes it likely he would be. Can he guard on the perimeter? Again, not that I've ever seen. He's slightly more mobile than my gun safe (when it's full 🙂) and doesn't move very well laterally... 

Kel'el can do all those things...

Which is why, if he maintains consistency, Ware will be at best a lottery pick, at worst a 1st rounder...

In my opinion, Edey's best chance of getting drafted is if Canada gets in a war... 

No disrespect, but if he wants to continue to play ball, he’ll need a passport.

If XJ would be say 80% for Kansas, would it be better to hold him out til it's fully healed? Playing on it when it wasn't all the way healed vs Harvard is what got him back in the boot...

I'd prefer this didn't linger into the main part of the conference season... 

I’d love to have him back for the Kansas game, but only if he’s 100% healthy. If not, let’s see what Gunn can do on the big stage. As well as he played against Michigan, I think he’s only scratching the surface, and it wouldn’t it be great for him to have true breakout game against Kansas?

Any word on when we might expect Johnson back?

Hopefully, for the Kansas game.

That's become the knock.  It's pretty clear that Woody had thrown in the towel by the end of last season and if Woody can't develop Geronimo, I'm not sure why Willard thought he could.

I feel for the kid because he tries, but his basketball instincts never improved that I could tell.  I'd love to see him realize some level of success, but if I were advising him, I would tell him to take advantage of his scholarship and prepare for life after basketball.

He could probably be an All American tight end if he switched to football. 

Gunn - 4 steals, 1 block and two 3s

Only 3 turnovers in the second half!

What a play by Ware!

Let’s go Gallo…get this one.

Rebound!

Why isn’t Gunn guarding McDaniel?

Get a stop here and we can win this game. 

Put Gunn on McDaniel

Two free layups in a row and we get nothing…. bad news bears. 

Those could cost us the game.

STUPID!!! What a way to kill momentum.

If Gunn starts playing with confidence he could be a difference maker.

Galloway can't shoot, Gunn can't shoot, Cupps won't shoot. Tough to win with that backcourt, yet we're still in the game. 

How did we not get an impact guard when the whole world is in the transfer portal?

We’re still in this

My Lord,  i like Trey but his shot is ugly.  

It’s totally mental at this point.

Galloway does more harm than good

Time to give Gunn some extended minutes.

The best Michigan D at this point is leaving Galloway wide open for 3.

I want to laugh, but I just can’t.

How can every P5 team and 2/3,of mid major teams have better guards than IU?

You tell me.

Cut down on the turnovers and we go home with a W.

He tries to finesse every drive instead of going strong and drawing contact. 

He’s big enough and strong enough that he should either score or draw a foul when takes it to the basket.
