This game is on The Big Ten Network for those that have cable and can get that network. Herd playing IU tough. We need to cut down on turnovers and make some adjustments on IU big man inside... I really feel like we can beat this team..A win would help take some of the sting out our football loss..

Also on channel 610 on Direct TV.

Playing well mostly, Taylor really needs to come out of this slump, some bad ball handling and we made several stupid turnovers inna row to blow that 12 point lead. This is a team we seem to be absolutely able to beat. Need to double the big guy, OR foul him if it's a close game late, he is a bad FT shooter

[MUonium]

really impressed, looking great.  lets see if we can outcoach, adjust to any of their adjustments if necessary

We?ve got too many players trying to do things they?re not capable of. If we would only play within ourselves will be a better team.

i'm not seeing what you are seeing???

I agree with that. Seven turnovers at the half is so-so. It has been worse. I don't remember another jump ball, so we should get the ball to start the second half.

[GreenWhite]

Why is Goran starting in the second half?

Taylor is the ball handler, George is not an outside shooter and neither is Oak.Kinsey is only an emergency ball handler and Byers isn?t a ball handler. This team doesn?t stick to their strengths, all try to do everything.

[GreenWhite]

Need a timeout. This team is out of control right now. How long will DD let this go on?

[wlf]

We could beat Indiana, but we can?t beat a good big man.

[goherd1994]

Interior d is awful

[greenanwhite]

Their big man is good no doubt.. but he absolutely gets away with a bunch of ?physical? plays..

8 on 5 now, no chance.

[GreenWhite]

Has not really been good all year. If we don't block a shot, the other team scores. DD waited too long for a timeout. The team was out of sorts and he just stood there. No adjustments made at halftime.

[goherd24]

Refs have taken over. This is what sucks about mid major basketball. You go to a place like Indiana, it was called fair in the first half and we beat them. 2nd half has been all indiana

I have counted 4 hooks on his defender when he has had when his back is to the basket. A 3-man crew should be able to see him hooking his defender on his way to the basket.

At the same time, we have to do something different defensively.

[jdonaccbus]

Finally a double team in the post.

[herdly4]

What is George doing? He has done nothing!

[wlf]

I?m about to turn it off, I can?t stand the same thing continually. We?re about to get blown out

[coalherd]

IU now firmly in control.  As usual NO adjustments from DD until way too late.  Sophomore Jackson Davis killing the Herd on the inside.  Goes from outside all the way to the rim either uncheck or with one spin move and scores.  Miladinovich and Byers are useless in interior defending, too slow, no foot movement, etc.  Need to get someone on the staff who can coach some true defense, especially on the interior.  Either that, or Hill Billy ball will be what it is, a lot of "excitement", but little in the way of "real" accomplishments!!

Goran is terrible....in every aspect. He needs to transfer to D2/NAIA.

Their big man only uses his left hand..we should be able to guard that.

[GreenWhite]

Coaching difference. IU goes up by 10 before DD calls timeout. Herd goes on a 4-0 run and IU calls time out.

[jdonaccbus]

Their big man only uses his left hand..we should be able to guard that.

Agreed....there is no excuse at this point to keep letting him go to his left every time. Make him go right. He takes that left-handed dribble to the middle of the paint because we let him.

[coalherd]

IU scoring on 10 footers or closer in about 80 to 85 per cent of the time.  Our response:  jack another wild, off the mark three pointer.  Result:  GAME OVER.  Currently, we are 3 for 11 from the outside.  Jackson Davis 15 from 20 from the field!
