Two Truths
- Thread starter IUNorth
- Start date
Would love for him to stay, but if he were my son and he was projected anywhere in the first round I would encourage him to go.
Both unfortunately, Woodson could have benched him. Possibly lose him/locker room.
I think Woodson gave up trying, picked his battles with Archies damaged goods and got the most out of them. Lots of damage control. Team was broken when Woodson got here
I really love reading everyone's take on what needs to be done to fix what needs to be fixed. But as I see it the coach has got to instill in the players minds that would have, could have, may have, should have just dont make it. Coach RMK would yank a player for one stupid play and make sure the player understood why he did it. Remember Landon Turner sitting so far down the bench he was almost in the bleachers, Why was that? How did that turn out in the end for Turner? The players must do as the coach has instructed or face the consequences. If there is a problem with motivation the unmotivated sit and someone on the bench comes in. And who knows, just maybe that bench player comes in and lights a fire under the rest of the mopes and gets them going. But this lack of motivation problem was allowed to fester to the point where it was almost common place and I put this squarely on da coaches. They allowed these guys to mope with no worries of their pt being taken away. No worry of splinters in their arses. No consequences for their actions leads to little or no improvement.
Still gotta have scorers. X and maybe Reneau ,the only ones. Poor rebounding and free throw % will kill IU. Unless they get major players from the portal, it's gonna be tough to get into NIT.
As much effort as Race? Are you srs?
Dude will come alive for one game and suddenly you all will forget the past 9 he "played" in. . No one put less effort in on the team while playing the entire season than Race, if so name someone....While no one put in MORE effort than Trey.
Bad take
Galloway did his best. He is not a starter but due to X's injuries, he had to play. I like Galloway a lot. He has really improved since his freshman year.
It might. you will have to believe it will get better over the summer.
Different era, you can not treat today's players that way. RMK eventually got in trouble for the way he treated his players.
Are we talking about this year , or last year?
Seems to me the last 2 seasons have been mirror images of each other. He hit a wall in big ten play both years.
Lol @ galloway not being a starter.
Dudes a str8 baller.
His 3 balls are 🔥
His defense is 🔥
His push speed dribbles to the basket for a crafty finish are practically unstoppable.
Hes the 3rd best overall player on the team behind TJD and JHS.
Hes a starter for a p5 conference....
Cmon man
no, he is not. he can not defend quicker, faster guards. This is the area we miss X the most. OUR losses EX; Miami, Penn st and NW. I like Galloway but quicker guards hurt him.
Galloway was tasked with guarding the quickest player out on the perimeter in X's absence as he was our best remaining on-ball defender. In a perfect world he's guarding off ball where he can be disruptive in the passing lanes where he typically excels.
Many said the same thing about Zeller and TJD. How many times has someone posted "he gone" about a player? If we had a $5 fine for every person that has said that about an IU player and it didn't happen we could throw a huge party!
Race was an effort guy his whole career at IU. He didn't have TJD's talent but he tried as hard as any player I've seen. He looked different when his knee was still bothering him but he played hard. I don't see how that can be questioned. I like Race more than most maybe because he reminds me of me when I played high school. Same position and undersized but got the most possible out of my game because of effort more than talent. I was good enough for a small college scholarship but I decided to play football instead which I did for two years and then transferred to IU.
Galloway is another guy who's effort cannot be questioned. I think he'll start again next year next to X.
Pack was going to put up 30 on JHS (don't understand why Galloway wasn't on him in the first place).
Great point about boxing out. I watched the Xavier game and those guys boxed out consistently -- it was really noticeable, especially Jerome Hunter. Lazy and undisciplined play -- another good point. How many times did we see lazy passes from our players that resulted in turnovers. That's all on the coach. And that needs to change, no matter what the talent level is.
Miami is actually pretty young team when I looked at their roster. But there really is no excuse for giving up that many offensive rebounds to a team with nobody taller than 6'7 on the court. It just comes down to effeort and fundementals plain and simple. But it I guess was why most of us thought they would not advance past the round of 32 they just seemed incapable of putting two good game together the last third of the season. Just dishearting to get blown out two years in a row and not even have close games.
Were there any other possible reasons for a fall off in production after the Hoosiers finished their preseason cupcake schedule?
You are absolutely correct on that one. On Saturday night UConn will run a clinic showing how a team with a 6 ft 9 in and 7 ft 2 in big man can run an offense with nobody inside the paint unless they brought the ball with them. Same with Miami. That will be an awfully exciting game.
How many times would we see the ball go inside to Trayce and if he was going to be doubled the ball would be kicked out to a wing that was afraid to shoot the ball and when the defense rotated to the ball they kick it back into Trayce in the low post again. Assuming Woody gets his players we won't see that again.
On several occasions I heard Woody say that tjd can shoot the three-point shot in practice but for whatever reason he would not do it in the game. Same with Miller Kopp and before that Romeo Langford. They would camp out in the corner and wait for somebody to throw them the ball.
