Unmistakable lesson from TT v. Va.
- Thread starter Stuffshot
- Start date
I thought for sure you were going to say that go_iu should keep his drunk ass mouth shut going into half time. But yes, shooters would help.
TT is probably gonna be haunted by not guarding the 3 better at the end of regulation. I would almost give up the 2 and get the ball into my good ft shooters. This was a great game. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire tournament. Guys, we saw a lot of good basketball.
Make free throws and don't turn the ball over and give up points in transition. And find some shooters!
You should keep this sort of intel off the free board, other teams may see it and get wise.
I think if you add some good defenders and big guys for an inside/out style it could be hard to stop?
Why Culver? I know he struggled to start but I thought he was instrumental in the 2nd half comeback.
I suspect that go_iu and HoosierAlum07 are the same fool. In another thread HA07 picked up on the irrational rant of go_iu as though he forgot and changed usernames mid-thread. Same incoherent rage-fueled nonsense.
If you are looking for any sane reasoning behind that statement, you'll be disappointed. Both incarnations are frauds. Neither is a graduate of IU or any other university that would expect a rudimentary command of the English language and the ability to reason beyond that of a ten-year-old whose father took away his video game privileges.
Also, 3 mobile and hostile 6'9" defender/rebounders, and a team full of guys who play D like their ass is on fire. In other worlds, a whole different roster.
Decent FT shooting alone would probably mean 3 or 4 more wins this past season.
Absolutely.
Our turnovers did improve at the end too. I don't know if it was a smaller rotation or that we had players back long enough for them to get used to playing together. Turnovers cause so many areas of the game to suffer besides the lost opportunity to score.
As bad as we stunk it up for ~two months and we were still only a few FTs and a couple of tips that went the wrong way from having a much better record.
Even though I agree with both of you on this, the most critically absent element of this team was Leadership.
With Leadership (at least good leadership) we win - at the very least - one of the 3 road games of Maryland, Northwestern or Rutgers. And IF we had won just 1 of those games, we'd have made the NCAA Tournament. Just One.
Call it leadership or toughness. I look at every team for the player that wants to take the big shots or free throws and will make them. This is the guy in the huddle that the coach looks at and sees he wants the ball. I felt like we had reluctant leaders. Romeo didn't come live until the second half. Phinisee seamed willing to let Romeo and Juwan lead. I understand being a freshman and learning how to play college basketball probably had something to do with it.
Green, whether we like it or not, seems to have the most outgoing personality and courage to be the player that wants the ball. I want RP to grow into that role. He makes better decisions with the ball. As the starting PG for next year and Romeo and Juwan gone, RP should start to lead this summer and continue into the fall.
