This team does not have high level shooters. That is the glaring weakness. Size is outstanding......but the backcourt is as predicted.....pedestrian...at least so far. They are letting FGCU hang around...at their own peril.
Shooters.....
- Thread starter Harpo Marxist
- Start date
Yep. CJ Gunn isnt the answer off the bench. I like Cupps, he will be a BA. X will have to play smart and Galloway the best he can because this team will need it badly.
Based on what? They've played half of one game.
Seventh straight season with no shooting. It doesn’t matter who the coach is apparently.
This team needs Braylon Mullins type players ASAP
based on half a game and all of last season
He didn't play last season, we haven't seen him nearly enough to formulate an opinion.
It's not the players fault. Woodson doesn't run anything on offense - and with no double team for TJD it's going to a rock fight basically every night.
One team has shooting and one doesn’t. Ugly offense by the Hoosiers
I'm at the game..
Shooter's ?
Can't stay in front of guys..
Sucked in the lane.. Kick out for open 3's ..Easy money 💰

Walker needs to sit rest of this one. An experienced player like him should know not to force things, especially shots outside your skillset
Haha, tourney. This team will struggle to win 12 games.
Probably right. I don’t think we can play three bigs together but we don’t have wing depth
So, I assume, that your position is that MSU is out of the running to make the tourney since they lost their first game??
Do you think before posting?
MSu has a history of doing so. So yes I would say they will be fine and make the tourney. We are kinda an enigma this year. A lot of high ranked guys but cannot mesh into a successful team
Would that you would make your breath-taking stupidity legendary elsewhere.
Basketball is still basketball … NBA guards weren’t the opposition … TJD was schooled how to roll … this crew will get schooled too.
Hoosiers shot 51% … yes 3pt shooting was below standard… shooting was not the biggest problem … defense overall and 2nd chance points were far more irksome for me.

It's been one game and the first of the season...... Wtf is wrong with some of you? It's almost if you've taken whining and crying about impending doom to a religious level.
Plug it up .. let the coach coach and see what happens. Or continue crying and complaining like lil b****es about what may happen but hasn't ..
Some of you are ****in' weirdos ..

well, there was, what 2-24 from last year (I know, doesn't matter because he doesn't get enough minutes, right? But, ask yourself did Alford ever have a 2-24 stretch?). I think CJ gets in his own head, and if he can learn to relax and play his game (which is not shooting 3s all the time) he can really contribute. But, some guys are just good practice players and the games diminish their effectiveness. Hoping that's not CJ, but his soph year would be a great time to turn it on or find out.
It probably got missed by a lot of folks here with the passing of RMK last week, but Todd Leary was on Jim Coyle's show and said he thinks MM has the chance to be the best shooter at IU since Jay Edwards. Now, that was probably hyperbole, but still, that's coming from a former player who was a great shooter. So, will he be the reincarnation of Jay Edwards? No, but could he become a reliable shooter/scorer? I think so. I've been saying all along, this will likely not be a good shooting team, but they are going to have to take the good open looks when they are there; whether early in the clock, on breaks at times, etc... We don't have a good high volume shooter, so we need to take better shots when we can.
MM's shot is smooth and quick. If he's reasonably accurate he'll single-handedly make this thread obsolete (as long as he's not so bad on defense he can't stay on the floor).
When he had a and one layup in the 1st game I was sitting under the basket. After he scored he was right in front of me and my buddy and said this shit is too easy. The band director looked impressed. I turned and told her that guy shot 7% from three last year. Was reallllll easy. Got a good laugh.
ONE game and you can make that determination even considering the fact that there are 6 new scholarship players on this team (two starters - one being a freshman) and what, 10 new players in total?
Add in that IU lost a bulk of their scoring and rebounding which puts players in unfamiliar roles.
I repeat - ONE F****** GAME.
No doubt, I think we will improve but I don’t love the overall balance of the team. To many guys whose games are similar. Guard play/wing play will be key.
Honestly was sitting at dinner and didn’t complete by complete thought on the post lol.
