Phinesse......

We should have known it wasn’t going to end well. Remember the opening tip and play that started the game for Penn State? What exactly happened there?
 
In the 2nd half, Phinesse was pull within 4 minutes. I commented at the time that there has to be an injury. What starting point guard in the country needs to be pulled that quickly? Archie doesn't appear to pull people based on performance based on Green and Anderson. I think someone else posted about how tired they are about the secrecy of the injuries and I tend to agree. This isn't the NFL, you don't need to be the Patriots with the injury report. I'd also like to know why Hunter and Thompson aren't playing after being so effective in recent games.

Hunter was sick and our medical team keeps players out 3 games for an ingrown toenail

Phinesse looked strong going to the bucket a couple times but was too jacked up to convert them into easy 2 pt. layups.

That made me laugh because you were making a joke but that's actually the new reality. At my daughter's high school, they have a concussion protocol that is crazy. Even if you are cleared by a real Dr, the rent-a-trainer they've hired has to clear you. This phucking nitwit with no medical degree is the last line of defense to determine if players can play and it takes an act of God to let you play if she thinks you have a concussion.
 
I think they've said that Rob is playing with an abdominal injury that won't be taken care of until the off-season... whatever that might mean. He's looked pretty ouchy a few times since returning. My hunch is that we'll only see Rob playing at a high level in spots the rest of this season. Which is tough, because I think that when Rob plays well, Devonte and Al are more settled and tend to play much better themselves.
 
Is he injured? Is this our point guard the next two years? Sorry but he’s really sucked, he got totally used by Cowan and tonight was completely AWAL

I'd agree on this one, it looks like Archie's first two classes were "BM 2.0" literally. I mean, look at who's left, not perpetually injured, possible never gonna recover from stuff, and how reliant we are still on Crean recruits that should have not been kept or signed. Guess what? Help ain't on the way, the perpetual injuries make me think if Archie is still here next year, his training staff better not be if there's hope he'll be renewed

If he's got a serious enough injury that it's affecting his game and they know he's going to need surgery or rehab after the season, they need to just take him out now. I don't want the kid to get injured further. Give his minutes to Franklin. But the way it is now, he just looks like a so-so player and we know he is better than that.

Translation? Does that mean we're going to see another 12 of 13 tailspin and pay this f'r to miss the tournament 3 years in a row, have no better chance of making it next year, recruit more wimps and role players, and have a lame duck year, all the while raking us for 3.5? That's brass tacks

We wont lose 12 of 13 but we wont win on the road. Our easy road games are over.
 
The B1G is mediocre - any team (except maybe NW & Neb) can win anywhere and lose anywhere.
 
I hate IU athletics under Fred Glass. The injury stuff. The being politically correct stuff. The being so squeaky clean that we can’t even dip in the Grey area a little bit. In all his years here, Men’s Basketball never got any better.

He can hire a good Womens coach but not a good Mens coach. Go figure.

Doesn’t look like a so so player to me. Looks well below average.
