I think we've seen that Coach Woody isn't going to change the starting 5 unless someone is injured, did something that requires disciplinary measures, or the difference in play is just so stark, he has to change it...

It will be disappointing to know that CMW has a Tom Crean approach to his starting line-up and rewarding performance, if Galloway didn't just earn a start. I think he's absolutely one of our 10 best basketball players, probably one of our top 4-5 best players. He's arguably the smartest player on the team, he's one of the best passers and ball handlers, he's athletic, etc. The only flaw in his game is shooting. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XJ, RP, or KL have to be on the floor to run the point 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what in the heck TC has to do with this. We are better with Galloway off the bench, it balances everything out. You can't have THAT many non shooters on the court together. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJD Race Stewart Kopp XJ There is no reason to. The exact opposite of what they do in the NBA. One really good 19 minute segment doesn't mean you should start. Roll with how it works, not how you want it to work. (I don't actually mean "you"). You can't have 4 complete non shooters out there on the court. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's almost like-- if you hit your FTs (15-18), don't turn it over (9 total), keep them out of the paint (under half of their shot attempts were from 2), and don't give up offensive rebs (we gave up 5).... you will give yourself a REALLY good chance to win. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Watched the game recorded this morning. Great energy. Great win. I hope these guys can find the consistency to play with this much heart and emotion every game. Read this morning's paper, and Trey gave specific props to Cliff Marshall for keeping him in shape while he recuperated from surgery. Where's our resident Cliff basher now that his value is publicly expressed by a key team member? Go Hoosiers! Get on a roll. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realize he was reacting to some good plays, but a former player on an opposing team celebrating at AH won’t be well received. Can you imagine if a PU player transferred to IU and did that at Mackey? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Galloway earned MINUTES last night. He did not earn a start. Each lineup put on the floor has its own dynamic. All the pieces need to fit, and the team on the floor should have a matchup advantage on the opponent. For example, under no circumstances should TJD and Durr be on the floor at the same time. It just wouldn't work. The coaches know that. Galloway has the type of game that can help a lot of different lineups. Could he help the Starting 5? Maybe, maybe not. But, from my perspective he helps the second 5 more. He moves the basketball. With Rob at the point, the second 5 has not had anyone that does that well. The starters have X, and he does an adequate job moving the ball when he isn't fixated on shooting. Rob simply does not do that well, nor does anyone else in the second 5. With Trey on the floor with Rob, it makes the 2nd unit so much better. Not saying there aren't times where you can have both X and Trey on the floor. You take advantage of those when the opportunity presents itself. Nothing wrong with having two guys that move the ball around the court. But, from my perspective, when Rob comes in for X is the perfect time to bring Trey in for Kopp/Stewart.
