Hope someone reminds them at half what their record is vs Rutgers. Yea man, I mean show up with a chip on your freaking shoulder. It’s embarrassing to see the effort against a subpar team over the past couple years. This isn’t the look of a group of prideful guys who have a score to settle. I don’t mind losing when you play hard & smart and it’s just not your night. This, so far, isn’t even close. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 How Rutgers played defense against us in the first half is how we played against UNC. Came in 9th in country scoring 88pts a game but only 24 today. I knew we wouldn't be able to like that against Rutgers but need to better than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what are your expectations? Do you not expect us to ever play below expectations on the road? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks sped up and not in a good way. My bigger issues are with TJD and Race not X though. We just look frantic and rattled. Not a veteran team move. Something is wrong with Race because he has been missing on action all year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his mild defense, I’d freak the ef out too if everyone on my team not named Kopp was playing like absolute booty cheeks on both sides of the ball. X can hold it together when the rest of the team does their jobs but he goes into survival mode when everything falls apart. Unfortunately, he’s not MJ or Kobe and it doesn’t yield results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Can this team play a worse half? I expect to see a better IU team in the 2nd half. Will it be enough to win? 🤷♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted December 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I wouldn’t mind seeing Gunn out there at some point. Plays good defense and can knock down shots. We need someone else to hit jumpshots other than Miller Kopp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturalhoosier Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Sitting here at the game and these fans feel that this is their championship. rightly so, playing #10 I suppose. Im tired of watching free throws doink short due to not bending knees. I’m tired of watching everyone stand around the perimeter while TJD gets hammered down low. Move for gosh sakes. Make something happen!!! Most of all I’m tired of these annoying-ass fans. lol. Woody better make some adjustments!!!! Let’s go Hoosiers!!!!!!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) We just look tired and a step behind, it almost looks like the team is hungover.

I’ve never understood playing guys who couldn’t be playing worse when you have potential on the bench. Put em in, if it doesn’t work, put the starters back in. Hopefully being a spectator lights a fire in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Think we might be missing some of JHS calmness today. Otherwise and I absolutely hate what I'm getting ready to post. 87 at Northwestern. Knight ripped the leadership on the team even in victory...specifically Alford. Hey TJD/Race and the other vets....time for you to show up the next 20. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, as posters, we need to differentiate between critical analysis and uncontrolled hysteria. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 I’m really hoping to see a little more fire in the belly to start the 2nd half. If we start the second flat, it could be a long 20 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is the type of game, especially with JHS out, that you need Bates and Reneau to contribute offensively. Need them to relieve some pressure from TJD and XJ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
