Matt Painter said that
- Thread starter Northrop
- Start date
Based on that maybe he should sit his two bigs to help their program....they should have lost on Saturday...
Re: Link?
On his weekly radio show. He was talking about bigs and their turnovers, fouls, and missed free throws. Someone asked him why he didn't play his two bigs together, and his point was that sometimes playing no bigs gives extra flexibility, better movement, better passing, better free throw shooting, and better transition defense.
It was in this context that he said IU may be better off.

Painter doesn't know...
...what he's got. With Hammons and Haas in the game at the same time with a couple of decent guards and another good forward, they should dominate the B1G. How would you stop them?
Just speculatin' is all.

Think that was taken out of context. Anyone who thinks we're better off sans Perea is an idiot. The only folks better off with Perea injured are our opponents.
I didn't know that, but said the same thing a few days
ago for the Purdue game. If he were playing the Purdue game it would allow a more conventional player for Hammons or Haas to guard. "IF" IU is hitting and they place five players outside...it causes problems. Losing Hanner hurts IU overall, but not sure it hurts them against Purdue...
Now if IU is not hitting...different story...but Haas and Hammon's need a conventional big to guard

It'll be interesting for sure to see how that game plays out. If we have say Hartman and Williams in at the 4/5, I don't think Haas or Hammons can guard either one. On the flip side, I'm not sure either one of them can guard Haas or Hammons. So I really have no clue how the game will play out. However, I'm still sticking with my thought that the home teams get the wins and we split this year.

I thought Illinois played better when Igwu (sp) wasn't playing, they were up by nine when he returned at the 9 minute mark and they then quickly lost the lead. Bigs aren't nearly as important as they used to be--college or pro.

Outside the obvious...
of each team being much different than the others...if IU is hitting 40% of the threes is 60% of the 2's. The inside play is more consistent and less a variable, but if IU his hitting and Purdue not...Hammons and Haas can't go out that far and so it opens up driving lanes as well.
Splitting is realistic, but depending on how the game is called combined with the perimeter shooting both teams are capable of a sweep as well.. I had no idea Matt said this as I posted my thoughts a day or so ago after watching IU place 5 players beyond the arc. I know over time which wins...but on a given night if the threes are raining...any team can win. As important as the shooting is who shows up for refs. Do they call it tight inside and out? Do they let them play some inside and out? Do they call inside versus perimeter much different?
Being a little older I prefer to not bail out players and call fouls that do not affect a basketball play. Can't shove in the back posts...can't know drivers around on the perimeter, but let some touching go both inside and out...
