What is the Ken Nunn loves IU basketball banner???

 

[Klondike]

One thing I just cannot understand is the constant defensive lapses leading to easy buckets. I assume Groce chewed them out in the locker room. So they come out and give minimal effort on defense? Wide open look after wide open look.

Why does the board on both sides of the scorers table say Ken Nunn loves IU basketball?

 

[Bomb Squad 217]

Yogi cant miss. Ugh

Freshmen are often out of position.

 

[Stevegarbs]

IU clowning us like the Globetrotters with these circus-pass assists.

 

[illlllinois]

Yogi cant miss. Ugh

and he's normally a terrible shooter

GUARD TROY WILLIAMS ON THE BASELINE

We get beat on the baseline more than any team I've ever watched.

 

[Soxfreak64]

So uhh...has Indiana missed a shot this half?

Scoring doesn't mean anything if you can't stop 'em on the other end. It's amazing what a good PG, and even more importantly, constant off-ball movement, can do for an offense.

I think he is a local attorney or something. It's a weird coincidence.

Kendrick Nunn and Jaylon Tate are not freshman, and they were both standing around not paying attention leading to two easy buckets. It's inexcusable.

 

[Chase3]

I think some teams will schedule us as preseason bunnies next year.

 

[CARPET]

This is a beat down of epic porportions

 

[illini8507]

Ken nunn is a lawyer in indy

Was it Nunn that first time? I thought it was JCL. Yeah Tate has been bad all day.

 

[Chase3]

I'm just hoping Cameron Liss gets in now. Went to my high school's crosstown rival. Love to see when he gets in.

 

[Sizzler22]

Having a players coach is great, but sooner or later you have to get on people for what they are doing wrong. I love Izzo cuz he rips into his players when they mess up but Groce just pats them on the butt and says get em next time. This isn't a kids basketball program, this is D1 basketball at a big ten school, sooner or later this needs to fixed. Can't just put a bandaid over an open wound and expect TnT to fix the issue.

I hope so

 

[Klondike]

Any more performances like this and we're headed dangerously close to the "Groce is only at risk if the season completely falls apart" coming true.

 

[StLouIllini]

How does Jaylon Tate get this much PT? He isn't good at anything. I sure wish Groce wouldn't miss on every single PG recruit he goes after (at least up to this point).

This is getting past the point of embarrassing. I figured we would lose tonight but I never imagined a flat out butt whooping. We might as well have not come to the game tonight. Injuries are a legit excuse but they don't cover the multitude of suckiness we have watched the last two games.
