DWB Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Started off kind of slow I thought. TJD should not have played. He was still too banged up. 2nd unit brought the energy, yet again. X had a great overall game, and a special shout out to Bates for his coming out party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 ready to see us play good teams. i think UNC will be in trouble coming into the Hall. it will be their first road game of the season and they have not looked good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping that's the Tamar that TJD and others have talked about. Kid was locked/confident. We add that off the bench wrinkle to this operation?? Good times coming for us all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’m sure I’m jumping the gun, but I feel like our bench is better than anyone else’s in the NCAA if not better than 90% of the starters. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even what is perceived as the end of our bench (Gunn, Banks, Duncomb, Leal) are pretty good players that would have bigger roles on a less talented team... I like how Coach Woodson got CJ (1st half) and Kaleb (2nd half) some good time with starters/early off the bench guys in there..."Show us what you got with some players, young fella." The more I watch Coach Woodson, the more I'm convinced that he's a master at the psychology of a team sport...I also hope potential recruits are watching...There's no secret formula to getting to the league...It's hard work, playing winning basketball, and developing your game over time...And Coach Woodson knows better than most how to get you there... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen enough of the top teams to say one way or the other. But, I know our bench is really good and getting better. I feel like guys are starting to figure out their roles. That alone can separate great teams from good teams. One thing that CBK did really well was figure out pretty quickly who could do what and then make his players fill those roles. I think Coach Woodson is letting these guys figure that out on the court. Should be fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 This team is so fun to watch and they have soany scoring options. What else is encouraging they is room for improvement because JHS and Race still have more to give. Race has been better the last two games which is very encouraging.

If by mid B1G season, if their development trajectory is such that Bates and Reneau are getting 5-8 more minutes/game than MK and Race, respectively, this team could be scary good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I think the single thing we do better than any other team I've seen so far this season, is communicate and switch on defense... One other thing I heard Coach Woodson say in the ALR postgame...Last yeear we were near the top in open looks from 3...we just didn't make the shots...That's the function of an offense game plan, right? Getting open shots? Well, now we're hopefully starting to hit them...I know the better the competition, the better the defenses, but if we can hang around 37-38% I think we'll be fine...

Euroclydon Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Another dominate performance with lots of contributors. Nice to see Bates with a big game. The one drawback, rebounding. Granted TJD and Race did not play big minutes, but you can't let teams get on the offensive glass like today. Need to clean that up quick. Hopefully TJD is 100% going forward.

Speaking of that, three minutes into the game, Xavier has 4 ORs against the Dukies. Unfortunately they can't make shots Edited November 25, 2022 by 13th&Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also 12-2 and ranked #21 in 2019. It's a new era and Woody is different but it's still fresh. Those losing streaks were epically bad.

Don't you agree? i mean, i think so? i'm just not 100% sold because we are looking good beating bad teams. like i keep saying, i'm excited about the season for sure. i am just reluctant to make a big deal of anything until we play a ranked team. i always watch the entirety off all of the games, but i have been bored the last few. all of the teams ahead of us have played one of the other top dawgs other than NC.

I agree with the premise that I’d like to see us play some more good teams before making judgements…but an away win against Xavier is a really good win based on how they’ve looked this far. Kenpom has them ranked around 30th, which would be a Q1 win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
