About that enthusiasm… UL Game

[IUclover]

Missed the game due to last minute plans. Looked forward to coming home and rewatching later. While I was out, I saw the halftime score and thought.. “ok, not terrible.” Then the next time I checked we were down 30+.

Wtf happened? I see 33% shooting, 23 turnovers, and what appeared to be a dunk fest by UL.

Was it bad coaching? Low effort? Just a bad shooting night? Same old offense? Mass or bad substitutions (again)? How did IU lose by 30? That is inexcusable.

At least this team plays hard.

I'm not worried about it. We all knew at senior night last year this was going to be a wasted year.

We made the first basket of the 2nd half. Then they went on an 11-0 run. Sounded like we took several ill-advised shots. We stunk the 1st half, and that's your team's response? There's got to be some bad chemistry here, in addition to Woody's awful coaching.

Today is a good day to be disgruntled about basketball for at least a couple of hours. Team was lackadaisical in all aspects, like they were out partying all night ..

Everything went wrong... running predictable shit, dumb lineups, pounding ball into Ballo, ignoring MgBako, poor defense against L'ville guards who lived in the lane, unforced errors .. just an overall poor effort from everyone.

That was pretty much the worst basketball game I have ever seen: just full scale incompetence. IU players literally just getting the ball stolen from them, throwing the ball out of bounds, throwing the ball to the other team, playing zero defense, giving zero effort. Just a crap game. They looked like they had never played basketball before.

I thought the highlight was the face to face argument. between Goode and Mgbako during the timeout.

I don't even know where to start to sort out the whole mess.

Yes… all of those.

Correct. There's not one single bright spot.

To me, the most significant play was in the second half. We were down roughly 15-18 points and Carlyle was bringing the ball down the floor.

Then, all of a sudden, Carlyle threw a spectacular 70-foot one-handed baseball "pass" to someone I didn't recognize sitting in the fourth row, at least five feet above the head of the closest IU player. No player touched it.

But that wasn't the true play.

The play I'm referring to was immediately following, when Woodson left him in the game! No consequences for horribly bad judgment (by Woodson). No penalties for abandoning the game plan (by Woodson). No discipline by Woodson for stupid play a decent high school coach would not tolerate.

As for Carlyle? He's so valuable he had Zero field goals, Zero free throws, Zero points, 1 rebound and 4 turnovers. Just the kind of player no one thinks should get free rein from the coach to throw a 70-foot pass with absolutely no chance of success.

EDIT TO ADD: Compare that to 5 points in 4 minutes by Anthony Leal.
