Heading into the bulk of the conference schedule the three key areas where IU has been insufficient are:
3pt %
turnovers
points allowed
All 3 are killers, but interestingly MSU is even worse at 3pt% but due to their high free throw percentage and wins vs better teams, they look like a tourney team at this point while IU looks like a non-tourney team.
It is worth mentioning that Indiana is hitting free throws better than last year, which is important. But when they turn it over and give up points, the one thing that could save them, 3pt% is their bane.
Somehow, Woodson needs to find a way to get shooters the ball in rhythm where they can make shots. And they absolutely need to tell Tucker, Reneau, and Carlyle that they should not shoot 3s under any circumstances, or perhaps only in despairation.
