got to.
can't get outhustled by Tubby Ball
To be up 8 is amazing without DJ and Gordon for most of that half. DJ played big early, though and Gordon had some nice assists and two big buckets.
We're not handling the ball well, and despite the "poor" officiating, we still commit stupid fouls....Bassett and DeAndre and AJ are are examples...
That was probably one of the weakest 20 minutes we've played all season, and we're up 8....so again, I'm not going to complain...let's just come out strong to start the second half.
I just worry about Bassett's health. And not to knock Gordon, but he's looked rather pedestrian lately...I am not sure about WHEN the big game comes anymore, but IF it's going to come...he did sink some big free throws and play solid defense at the end...so I guess I can't complain too much...but ya know..we're spoiled..we expect 30 points!
Second half Theme= Protect the ROCK!! If we cut those turnovers in half then we win convincingly.

Instead of giving in to Corporate America (i.e. ESPN.com), I'd much rather "shop" at the "mom and pop" store that you guys provide. Not that I don't want ITH to blow up and you guys make a fortune from site visitation, but you get the idea.
Thanks for linking us up so I can pass the time at work.

I think this would open up the floor and allow us to run and gun it, while still being effective defensively. Maybe it's best to keep AJ on the bench as relief for EJ, but I don't know. I think AJ is our 5th best player, and why not find a way to get him on the court with our other top players.
Love the idea of trying the 4-guard lineup at some point. We would really fly down the court.
Maybe it's something best thrown in as a change of pace mid-game, instead of starting. I think we start with someone else at the four so we don't get DJ in early foul trouble (ie, someone like MW to guard a good big early to buy DJ some time).
But, down the stretch, to pull away, love Bassett-Gordon-Ratliff-Ellis-DJ. That's showtime.

"If your husband left the room, you better yell at him to come back, because here comes Vanderbilt."
This game is going to be really tough tonight, would be surprised if we came out with a win. They are playing very well, and have a lot of senior leadership which is tough to beat on the road.

I will defend basket-out on the break.
I will defend basket-out on the break.
PS EJ should have shot that instead of handing it to the undisciplined one with time expiring on the 24
The "chick" announcer just said "get in your grill..." Man, i can relate to that, im glad she said it...she is in touch with the youth. but really...wtf
I thought she was doing a nice job.
And then she goes and quotes Jimmy Dykes. "The High School Harry passes won't work here..."
You get 10 seconds to advance the ball past midcourt. Think about using 3 of them.
Dumb fould EJ
Jordan Crawford thank you for coming to IU
Why does everyone's offense run better than ours....or do we have one?
Deandre should play more tonite.
DeAndre Thomas coming out party tonight? Put your Rockports on, we're going walking...
Field Goals 14-22 (63.6%) 11-29 (37.9%)
Free Throws 3-3 (100.0%) 2-8 (25.0%)
3-pointers 7-10 (70.0%) 3-8 (37.5%)
(I meant the comment mostly to be facetious.)
Someone needs to show TUO every miss he's ever had, and then every make he's ever had. When he sets his feet, he's great. When he doesn't, the Barn Animals make like they're gonna kick Mrs. O'Leary's lantern.
Name of the game in the second half:
1. Foul management
2. Limiting turnovers (especially in the backcourt!!!!)
Did I say Deandre should play more?
Good first half, lets not screw it up...14TO's hurt but firepower helps!
"A rare mistake by Jordan Crawford..."????
Nice DJ
"We still don't have a compelling storyline for the IU-Minnesota game tonight."
"Wait, I've got it! Isn't their arena really old? And I heard a lot of the fans can't see the court!"
Now, to everyone who doesn't believe, can Stemler sit at the big kid's table now?
HUGE HUGE HUGE THREE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
This game is for all those who say IU isn't a team. We beat a pretty good team on the road without Gordon playing well and DJ playing well only in short spurts. We have guys that can and WILL step up on any given night.
Our young guards better get grown up NOW. We can't have those kind of numbers.
DJ played one hell of a game..a few not so bright spots in his game but did you see him during timeouts torwards the end? He was fired up and boiling over, props to him for keeping the fire under our asses IN or OUT of the game. Heck of a play at the end there to swat that ball away from the goal.
EJ...not much offense, but when you pick up three quick fouls (two which were way questionable) it really takes away your ability to be aggressive . Regardless, good defense at the end and way to hit the closing minutes free throws.
The Undisciplined one...well, thats his name for a reason but without his first-half heat we wouldn't have won this game. He also hit that clutch free throw line jumped with under 3 to go that game us some momentum. I give him a "B" for the game..good enough to avoid my hateful judgement for 50% of our next game..this expires after the next game of course so Jordan, if you are going to botch plays...you better get it out of the way against Penn St. or i will not be so forgiving.
Lastly, Lancey Lancey Lancey...Mr.Stemler..as much as i wanted to kill you for going for that pump -fake in the final minutes where you SHOULD have given them an AND1 oppurtunity, I commend you for being clutch and stepping up when the boys needed you. Stemler gets a lot of BS sent his way, some deservedly so, but he earned some respect back from me and i assume many others for his late game nuts. Props on your testes sir, indeed.
That pretty much covers it, hopefully we have good turn outs for the upcoming home stand and we don't come in expecting things to be easy bc of homecourt and a lack of G. Claxton. Go Big Red, extend this streak!
