Yeah, that’s an NAIA school that went 7-23. Wouldn’t expect anything less against that kind of opponent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I’m interested in the officiating as well. How we adjust to either a tighter/more strict game or with a little more flow if they let them play and get away with a little more. We need to avoid foul trouble with who they have down low.

Interesting little data fact. Wyoming played 33 games so far this year so they average just under 24 3-point attempts per game. 13 times this year an opponent has taken 24 or more threes against Indiana. In the 13 games Indiana is 9-4 with losses to Northwestern (we were down 6 players), Purdue (We lost by 2), Iowa (Big ten tourney game lost by 3) and Syracuse in 2OT. TBH we do well against teams that jackup 3s. Edited March 15, 2022 by SawatchHoosier 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other team I felt good about going into the tournament was Cody Zeller's first year. I think if we hadn't met UK in the Sweet 16, we'd have gone all the way that year. Being 32 I feel about the same way. I felt pretty good Yogis senior year as well but knew North Carolina would be tough. I did feel better Cody’s freshman year than sophomore, maybe the expectation wasn’t as much but they were playing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUDan93 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Is it "March Mundane" or "March Madness"? I think we will win, but man I hate the thought of losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rogermci Posted March 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I was at the shoot around. Absolutely have to believe Geronimo is a full go. Trayce shot around 20 treys. I counted 4 made. He actually looked pretty good. Not shooting outside 10 feet must be a mental thing with him. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to score in the 60s most of the time as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight always said putting up shots without pressure is useless. Makes me wonder why IU doesn't practice contested threes. That would provide closeout reps as well as more realistic three point attempts. I can't see why that wouldn't be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too upset on how it turned out considering we got St. Mary's as a 5. It's probably the 2nd best draw from the 5/6 line behind 6th seeded LSU. So if I'm understanding this correctly we should have been an 11, correct? We switched with Rutgers, who is an 11... and ND/Rutgers switched seeds with us/Wyoming.

02Hoosier Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I want JG on Maldonado all game if he’s healthy. I could also see X guarding him and then doubling him in the post 🤷♂️ Geronimo definitely seems like the best matchup though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxnJxn Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 IMO, it's pretty clear that some of these guys are having issues mentally in games with open shots, particularly Parker and Rob. It's like Jon Lester not being able to throw to first or Ben Simmons from the foul line in the playoffs last year and whatnot. The form is there, they are getting good shots, so there's something between the ears that's causing them to miss, and that can be difficult to fix once it gets dug in.

PS has been plagued for the past several games. Having a hard time understanding why Leal hasn't had any playing time. His defense is at least as good as PS, and if he hits 33% from 3, that's 33% more than PS has hit over the last few games. But I'm not there to see him practice either.

CaptKirkHaston Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just watching the replay of the first game against Purdue this year. Man if we could get first half Rob through the tournament…watch out. I know we’ve had some good games, but I still don’t think we’ve seen the best performance this team is capable of producing.

Yea, when the kids threw him that first pass I thought those boys will never forget that. But then X threw one over to them to pass back. That put a big ole lump in my throat. I remember my complete admiration of the IU players at that age. That was a great video. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
