Gunn will get more minutes but they can’t play with just Cupps, Trey, and Gunn. My guess would be Cupps with the start, Galloway will have to play extra minutes, when Gunn comes in to spell Cupps, Gallo turns to PG. Gallo will play a ton of minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to IU 93-97. Was a huge Knight fan. Unfortunately, we haven’t made a good hire since then, with the possible exception of Woodson. But damn, we haven’t seen good basketball since Cheaney, Grahams, Henderson, Bailey, etc. It’s just sad. Alright then. Look forward to talking IU basketball with you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s an extended period of time it’s not going to work We could easily lose every game between now and Kansas is X is out that long, and if it's a high ankle he might be. It is getting late early for this team - guys need to step up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If X is only out for one game I wouldn’t be surprised to see Trey (35), Cupps (25) and Gunn (20) eat up the 80 guard minutes. There might be a few minutes with Banks virtually as a 2 or perhaps Leal will get a few minutes. Hope I’m wrong but I think it’s going to be ugly.

MoyeCowbell Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 For the FT folks, yes wasn't a good night (20-32 for 62.5%), but Banks and Sparks went a combined 1-7. Add Reneau and it its 1-10. Now, these three (but specifically Reneau) are guys who will likely draw a lot of fouls with the way they play, and they have to get better, no doubt about it. But everyone else with a high usage rate performed well at the line. Trey, Ware & MM were 18-21 (87%). They should, and probably will, take a lot of FTs this season. It's not complete gloom and doom in this area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thought would be Leal being on scholarship however I’d go with whoever has the most PG skill. i would assume Cupps starts at PG and Galloway plays point when he is out. Leal may get a few spot minutes when absolutely needed, but Gunn and Cupps just playing more would probably be all that is needed right?

BADGERVOL Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 It appears we continue to show the signs of a team that will fix their mistakes and become a potential final four caliber team OR we won’t and we’ll struggle to be even near middle of the pack in conference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 There’s no excuse for the lack of depth at the guard position on this team. They survived last year when X went down because JHS was an Ironman freak who was playing 40 minutes down the stretch. They had to know Newton wouldn’t be available. I have no idea why we have Walker 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why we have Walker So this is going to rub people wrong, but we have a recruiting problem. I know Woodson has landed a 5* in every? class but there is more to recruiting than just doing that. Our roster construction has been pretty abysmal and I find it hard to believe that we are recruiting to our initial plans when we are getting so many guys late in the recruiting cycle. I don't think the transfer portal is a great way for us to regularly build a solid team unless we are using it to get one missing piece. When was the last time Rosemund and Hunter got shouted out by a recruit we landed? It is a rough and tumble business and they aren't pulling their weight in development or recruiting IMO.

Please…as if this team needed another Geronimo 2.0….except he might be worse. And then you have people that claim Woodson was going hard after guards but they just chose elsewhere…spare me, there are thousands of collegiate guards/ shooting guards who would literally crawl to Bloomington to play. I could pick one or two from each team we’ve played so far that I rather have as a scoring threat then Walker. We also have an open scholarship. Better hope X isn’t out. Woodson built this team in the summer and basketball is typically won with guard play…well…we don’t have it.

Artesian_86 Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I thought all along before the season started that both Cupps and Newton were going be a pleasant surprise and welcomed addition to a lot of people. IMO Cupps has not disappointed and only going to get better. I think Newton could be the X factor on this team.....when he returns (hopefully it won't be long)...

Once this team gets it's 3 pt. defensive woes under control, this is team will be fun to watch. Mark my word..... There are definitely more guys than Mgbako over thinking the game.

I guess my concern there is that defending the 3pt line isn't a 'this season' issue, it's been an issue as long as Woodson has been here. Certainly last season and now again to start this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
