I have been vocal about his bad shots and plays but in this game I can't remember him taking a bad shot, having a bad TO or even missing a block out. Played under control. Great game, great win.
 
Right now he'd have to be a front runner for big ten

Player of the year!! Take away MSU game when we all stunk it up, he's been terrific!
 
But other games his TOs and bad shots took some of the luster off

for me. THIS game was different. He played OUTSTANDING.
 
Troy giveth, Troy taketh away ...

He giveth today! Amazing athleticism, if often times questionable decision-making.
(that turnover after the steal wasn't pretty).
 
I am not dogging him for that one.

Scramble situation, not so sure he wouldn't have traveled if he would have kept the ball.
 
Re: But other games his TOs and bad shots took some of the luster off

To some degree, he has had growing pains similar to those Olidipo experienced his first couple years at IU. Let's hope he's turned the corner as did Olidipo, by letting the game come to him rather then forcing things.
 
No doubt he played under control and is starting to play to his strengths which are cutting to the basket, driving to the hoop, and rebounding. What he is not is an outside three-point shooter but if he keeps developing that outside shot he has a chance to be a first round draft pick
 
Troy was a beast today...

the guy was literally all over the floor...

This was a great team win.
 
Doesn't matter, he's here now...

He still has no outside jumper, something he will need at the next level... If he can go high after this year, good for him, if he stays, good for us.

Not concerned either way.
