Yeah, I’m being chewed out by the gf for watching. Worth it? Debatable.

Today is our 50th Valentines Day. After a dozen roses, candy and an original poen, we went out for a nice dinner...and now I'm listening to the game. How it's done.

Anyone remember how many jump balls were called? Looked like scorers table says Indiana ball. We got tip and I thought there was only 1 jump ball called.

If it we did not have our offense sets/cuts creating shots, man how bad would we be?

Frazier off again
Black sick but trying

Everyone else and I mean Everyone else cannot create anything other than going through sets and getting themselves in position at times. This will never be enough to win games. Anyone that questions BU after this game needs their heads examined. He is essence playing JV vs Indy as far as talent tonight. Not a dig vs our players, the talent level is alarming for B1G play.

We look much more athletic without Finke on the floor. Not meant as a rip on Finke. Just to my eye seems like the guys are playing faster and moving quicker. Unfortunately still need guys to make shots to win games. That is lacking with or without Finke.

Imagine this team with one more player previously on the roster/committed. Coleman-Lands, or Tilmon (or even both). Most of the games would look drastically different imo.

Imagine JCL taking all the shots Alstork has been taking.

Or instead of no-one there to stop layups, Tilmon camping out in the paint.
And having more post presence to free up Black offensively. Finke would benefit as well, with more space to get off 3's.

We are one or two quality players away from turning the corner. At least being a middle of the pack team and not in the cellar.

Get this down to 5 by the 10 min mark, and we have a chance.

Also, GO UP STRONG ON YOUR LAYUPS. My goodness.

So Alstork can make dumb plays after dumb plays but Smith can't get game time. Sorry but Alstork brings very little. Its like Starks all over again

Right around Ebo like his feet were in cement

Yeah, Ebo must be kind of raw or something? Seems unexperienced as a basketball player. Maybe he can develop over the next 2-3 years. He seems to be somewhat athletic, so who knows?

If I'm IU, I take that matchup every time it presents itself.
