Typical IU half

[IUNorth]

Up and down. Had them on the ropes, could have put them in a huge hole, but allowed them back in.

They didn’t even really do much of anything to get themselves back in either. We’re just capable of really crappy stretches of play.

Not sure any B10 level team is capable of playing worse than PSU did in that first half. So it’s concerning to only be up 5.

PSU will go off from the outside in 2nd half. They’ve missed a lot of wide open looks. Woody probably thinks we did a great job defensively. They’ve missed over 10 layups and a handful of very open 3. Make half of them and we’re down double digits.

Thank goodness the refs are putting poor little molestor u at the line time after time. IU sucks, but they’ve been far worse.

Just bad basketball by both teams. Yikes

Refs are keeping them in the game, for sure. But PSU has missed A TON of shots most any team would normally make.

They suck. It’s embarrassing they’ve beaten us twice this year and 5 of 6 since woody came to town. You know, the guy that promised championships and stuff?

Yeah, but this team has been allowed to gain a cheap fouls reputation + X's touchy-feely game, it's no wonder why were on double-secret probation ref-wise.

Eh. A lot of their misses inside are because Ware is making them change their shots.

They have missed a bunch of open 3's.

But both of Reneau's charges were bad calls.

You’re correct to an extent but to say that IU had absolutely nothing to do with that is an exaggeration…

Only difference in halves is PSU is now making shots. Our defense is awful.

Our offense isn’t any better. Taco Bako is beyond terrible.

He’s not terrible. He’s just not an NBA caliber player.

Difference is D second half has been atrocious

PSU will start to hit treys and we will not adjust I fear.

 

[IUNorth]

Take care of the ball, play solid defense, and this is a top 20 level team. So frustrating Woody has never figured out how to get his teams to do those things with any level of consistency.

 

[demunn]

Mbako rarely hustles. Looks a step slow all the time.

 

[Bucket Getter]

Finally a zone! Leal needs to chill. 😡

 

[4IUfourever]

There’s a big difference in talent between IU and other good teams in the country. Heck NC State just beat Duke a while ago and their talent is at another level than IU.

 

[Bucket Getter]

He’s not terrible. He’s just not an NBA caliber player.

D1 players don’t hammer the ball on the underside of the rim, lose their man constantly, and double pump on virtually every 3 attempt.

Dude. He was Co Big10 frosh of the year. He’s good. He’s just not NBA good.

 

[demunn]

Cupps playing good D tonight

 

[Bucket Getter]

Annndd now it’s Reneau time to f up royally.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

I posted the same thing on the other thread, he either needs to snap out of it, or sit down. He’s killing us out there right now. Too talented for this.

 

[demunn]

Finally some fouls on Baldwin, no way those are all clean

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Just God awful refs tonight.

 

[Bucket Getter]

Who the hell told Chill Leal he was an offensive threat? Good gawd.

 

[demunn]

Baldwin clearly grabs Mailiks hand, TO. Malik gets ball, foul. Utter BS.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Who the hell told Chill Leal he was an offensive threat? Good gawd.

He should not shoot, unless it’s an open three-pointer. Even if it’s a layup, just don’t do it.

 

[Spirito76]

So Baldwin reaches in every single play & sometimes gets ball a lot of times gets arm & it’s never a foul - just great D. Anyone else reaches in whether they get ball or not gets a foul.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

If we are not careful, we’re going to lose this game at the free line.

 

[twenty02]

Just some horrendous officiating in this game. Both ways. Not sure who has gotten the worst of it. But it's really bad.

 

[papawboog]

Baldwin has all arms on X & refs call it a tie up, ball Penn St. Absolutely terrible

 

[Bucket Getter]

Well I’ll be damned. Chill came thru with a put back.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

I take it back. Leal can shoot one final layup.

 

[trailrunner]

So happy for Leal. Pure hustle

 

[papawboog]

Leal scores on a rebound for the IU win. Too bad he can't shoot

 

[gator mcCluskey]

Got it. Style points mean nothing at this point.

 

[ncthomas31]

Well they won…congrats. I know we didn’t have Galloway but PSU is 16-16 and we wont on a tip in. This team is still shit and will be 10x worse next year. 5 in row is a good run but the teams we played weren’t good and I have a bad feeling this just gives Woody more ammo to stay around and bury this program even further than he has. This team is so hard to watch still but I’ll give it to them bc they have grinded out close wins

 

[trailrunner]

#1 for PSU did not put a body on Leal to block out.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Woody just told Katz “ we beat a good team tonight”.

Yes we won. But just stop Woody.
