This team looks and plays tired...let me explain...

[hoosierintheATL]

1. I know we play 9-10 a game and the substitutions here drive us all nuts, so...it's not the minutes per se, but still...our guys play at such a frenetic pace, and were playing (and still can play) great defense, maybe it's just that the guys are plain tired after a grinding, long B1G season...

2. Which would explain:

a. The MUCH lower shooting percentage
b. Lack of rebounding
c. Seeming inability to finish at the rim
d. Not getting to loose balls like earlier in the year

3. Plus-look at how many games, even earlier in the year and now too, where we get outscored in the 2nd half routinely...

Here's hoping they find that second wind/mojo/something...

Maybe as I type now they are finding it back down only by 4 now...

Have they looked that way in the last 5 minutes?


Because right now IU is on a roll and has fought its way back into the game.

just need to start making the bunnies and we'll win this game....

missing too many close in shots. gotta take care of the ball better as well- both on the dribble and when corralling rebounds.
