There were numerous worse shots, he is a shooter and made a steal if the shot had gone down could have changed the outcome but it did't. If he hadn't been leaning forward instead of going straight up it wasnt a bad shot or nearly as bad as several of Bates and JHS shots at least he went up confident vs Bates just throwing it at the basket.
That board of directors ?
This game was one Gernonimo should have seen more minutes. Simply to an athletic presence for defensive rebounding. I would have sent him in and told him his sole purpose was to grab rebounds. Be an animal and help the team out on glass.
You clearly haven’t watched Miami this year. Wong was the ACC player of the year and Pack would have started every game for the Hoosiers this year.
You shouldn't be. Banks is a bright spot for next yr. Besides MR he is by far the biggest upside for next yr currently
Trey looked like he was throwing a shot put his three misses, like he was just trying to hit the rim, too tired for finesse. He was 0-3, his first miss the front end of a one and one. So many players disappointed us in this game. Well, Purdue fans feel a little better tonight.
Kopp shot was bad but not the reason we gave up 20 off rebounds.
You didn’t miss it. I should have said it better. But technically, more would still be applicable!😂
About 4-5 games. Including their loss in ACC tourney and very mediocre performance against Drake two days ago. They’re susceptible to average play when they’re guarded well and challenged.
He’s not going to change. He is what he is- a mediocre coach.
You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. The trio of Wong/Pack/Miller average 45 a night and aside from Baylor, they arguably have the best back court in the country. The tournament is a guards game and they had the better back court by a mile and have all year.
It’s not an excuse for anything? Who said that? But acting like Miami was some mid-major team who was expected to rollover just shows yours or anyone’s lack of knowledge towards tonight’s opponent.
IU would have had trouble with any second round opponent that was playing.
Miller is their 4 man…and was matched up on Race most of the night. Even took it to TJD late in the game. He’s not a guard, by any definition of the word. Even if you say they run 4 around 1…he still isn’t a guard. He’s a stretch 4.
It was bad because he didn't stop and go straight up. There's no excuse for someone with Kopp's experience to do that. Even my wife comments "he's gonna miss" when he shoots like that!
Kopp does too most of the time, certainly the ones he makes. It's a failure on somebody's part that he still does that. Literally every time he doesn't go straight up he misses.
He’s listed as a guard at 6’7 190 lbs. He’s a wing that can play at all 3 levels. If you play out on the perimeter, you’re a guard. Miller is a guard. Deal with it. Their guards kicked our ass on both ends of the floor tonight just like they’ve done to just about every team they’ve played this year.
That shot just isn’t a part of his game. He likely got caught up in the moment. It was during the run, he just ripped a steal away…
Dumb. But we will have a whole new team, so part of your wish will be true. This is emotion talking.
If he hit it it couldve been a game changer, however on the scale of bad plays it wasnt the top one by several. I cut him a little slck because he made the steal vs someone else making the steal and passing it to him for a bad shot. The shot wasn't bad he just shot it bad. Not like Bates chucking from near half court
I agree. Would have been huge but really tough shot. Our problems were multi-factorial and go far deeper than his decision to take that single particular shot.
He doesn't hit the 3 from the corner right before half we might not have even been there . He did make some good plays vs a few others
Ha ha. “Deal with it”.
2 minutes ago ago you just said he wasn’t a guard by any definition of the word, so which is it? Regardless, Miami has been a fringe top 10 KenPom offensive efficiency team all year and the exact kind of team that IU has struggled with all year. Had we matched their energy and intensity no doubt it’s a ball game, but at the end of the day their guards hit shots all game and ours didn’t and that’s the quickest way to get bounced in this kind of setting.
I didn’t say any of that. I said saying we just lost to a “better team” is chicken shit.
Very true. A drake team stuck with them til the end. It wasnt talent
