LOL at the post game right now. OMG that was hilariously awkward
I've given up on Kreiner.He may have been smarter than Toussaint. Kriener gave them a run for their money too.
Inconsistent?LOL at the post game right now. OMG that was hilariously awkward
He tried starting the break, but the guy he passed it to took off. At that point he could have grabbed it (he did) or give up the live ball turnover. He made the right decision, but it looked retarded.I wasn’t watching closely, but was it actually a double dribble?
Better yet, two times in like 2-3 minutes he sagged to give up an open 3 and then followed it up with an immediate turnover. 5-0 spurts twice almost single handedly in a couple of minutes.Also, Joe T sagging into the post almost double teaming a guy that was no threat to score multiple times and leaving 3 point shooters wide open was almost as dumb as some of his turnovers.
No almost about it.Also, Joe T sagging into the post almost double teaming a guy that was no threat to score multiple times and leaving 3 point shooters wide open was almost as dumb as some of his turnovers.
I came away from the Purdue game thinking Purdue is tough as hell at home. Indiana, on the other hand, tried giving this game away.The most frustrating part is that they (mainly Green) went off from 3 and hit several stupid, contested 3's. AND we had some of the most ridiculous turnovers you can imagine, most of which led to layups. AND C.J. got hurt with like 30 minutes left on a night Pemsl was suspended leaving us with 6 scholarship guys. AND Joe W. chose to hide out most of the night and shy away from the ball and then shots when he got the ball. AND Toussaint and Connor both arguably played their worst games. AND we had to play at least 10 minutes with Till and/or Ash.
And we still only lost by 12. That has the ingredients of the 36 point loss at Purdue. If we have even a couple of those things go the other way, it's a toss up game. It was an absolute disaster in so many areas and it was still only a 12 point loss with 1 guy showing up on offense.
IU [& Green] shoots its normal output from 3, Iowa might just win this game - despite all the adversity.The most frustrating part is that they (mainly Green) went off from 3 and hit several stupid, contested 3's.

The problem is they absolutely need him. I think I'd start him Sunday if CJ's out and hope you can get him into a rhythm. Without CJ you're relying on him/Connor/Bakari/Joe T. to be your 3rd/4th scorer. Even with him, you're still needing one of them to contribute. And he's the best backup big.I've given up on Kreiner.
Not all of them, but most in the 1st half were. He hit 3 with a man right on him, hand in face with little to no space.The threes weren’t as difficult of shots as some of you are making them out to be.
One of the threes was a tough shot, but he was already in a good rhythm from the 2-3 threes he had just made.Not all of them, but most in the 1st half were. He hit 3 with a man right on him, hand in face with little to no space.
Exactly. Even with all the first half 3's and them shooting out of their minds, it was there for the taking. Bakari throws away two underneath OOB's, Joe T.'s two 5-0 spurts he gave up, Joe W. going 1 of a potential 5 from the line, the handful of ridiculous turnovers that gave them layups. Could keep going on and on...I came away from the Purdue game thinking Purdue is tough as hell at home. Indiana, on the other hand, tried giving this game away.
Going from memory but first one was wide open. 2nd one CJ gambled and he got an open look. Next two were closely contested. To your point though, don't let him get going early.One of the threes was a tough shot, but he was already in a good rhythm from the 2-3 threes he had just made.
We're way too white and unathletic to play as dumb as we do sometimes.I wish I kept track of how many times this year Kriener has been thrown a catchable pass only to continue running like a retard. Have a little fucking awareness.
Priapus?Get him some prp therapy as soon as he gets off the plane
It was also easier to say we didn't really miss him when the defense was improved. And it was until 1/30. Last 3 road games we've allowed 1.17, 1.52, 1.16 points per possession. All double digit losses.Sometimes I forget what kind of a loss a healthy bohannon was.
Having 3 guys man the point without being a shooting threat kind of sucks.
I know Connor is improved, and he deserves credit for that, but he's still not a guy opposing teams worry about.
this is why our healthcare system is shitIt would be nice if Fran could coach defense because his offenses tend to not show up on the road, especially in February
Fran can’t coach Drs worth a shit either.this is why our healthcare system is shit
Again, not true. February road points per possession, 1.00 is average.It would be nice if Fran could coach defense because his offenses tend to not show up on the road, especially in February
but compare that to all other offensive numbers and it’s a steep drop off I’m sure. If you can’t play elite offense consistently, gotta be able to bring some better defense.This point is kinda moot this year with all the injuries but whateverAgain, not true. February road points per possession, 1.00 is average.
'20: .99. 1.01.
'19: 1.16, 1.09, 1.01.
'18 we sucked.
'17: 1.17, .98, .91, 1.28.
'16: 1.09, 1.21, 1.07, .94

'14: 1.15 , 1.21, 1.23, 1.04
Except 2013, 2015, and 2017.The only trend I notice is there hasn’t been 1 Fran team that has finished strong down the stretch.
I would guess 6 of their makes were contested and/or several feet beyond the arc.The threes weren’t as difficult of shots as some of you are making them out to be.
Was speaking more about the early stretch where Green went off and got them in a rhythm.I would guess 6 of their makes were contested and/or several feet beyond the arc.
Didn’t they lose like 6 out of their last 7 in 2017?Except 2013, 2015, and 2017.
No, they won 7 of their last 10 in regular season including wins at ranked Maryland and Wisconsin before pissing a tourney bid down their leg to Indiana in BTT.Didn’t they lose like 6 out of their last 7 in 2017?
