Agree. Goran is a big clumsy body.  Not d1.  Too slow .  Dan doesn?t seem to do a lot of in game coaching.  Seems to just spectate a lot

[goherd24]

I love Kinsey being aggressive but he us being a ball hog tonight. Too selfish at times. He needs to find that balance. Dribble into a triple team, pass it out

[goherd24]

We are better once we get past their starting 5. Any subs and it seems like we have a huge advantage. The longer the game goes on the better. We are actually deeper than Indiana it appears

[jdonaccbus]

Big shot by Kinsey for the and one, but he has been too selfish at times tonight. The offense runs better thru Taylor.

[GreenWhite]

I agree. Don't know if he is trying to impress scouts or what. Right now, we have only played eight I think. Need Kinsey to make this FT. Would the deficit to five.

[herdfan129]

He hasn't been selfish enough this year so I love seeing this. He will find the balance once he gets in the film room etc.

[goherd24]

Taylor killing us. 4 turnovers tonight. We need Taylor to at least be as good as last years version to be a special team.

[HoPPy785]

Taylor has butterfingers tonight.

[GreenWhite]

But he needs to be under control while asserting himself. Bad turnover by Kinsey leads to an easy basket.

[coalherd]

Taevion trying to do too much individually, confronting a triple team PASS the BALL; doesn't and another turnover leading to an IU score!

[jdonaccbus]

Beyers bringing the ball up 90 feet for another awkward shot.

[MUther]

I know Danny is a 70 year old man, but he has zero sense of urgency.  Reminds me of one of those treants from Lord of the Rings movies.  No sense moving out of the way if the sh*t already hit the fan.

Jackson Davis with 39.  Yet another player for the opponent sets his career high against D'Antoni's "defenseless" man to man!  What a Joke!!

[GreenWhite]

This team panicked and started trying to do too much. But, they played Indiana tough most of the game. The Hoosiers know they have been in a game. Ref's have not been the best.

I thought we put in a zone this off season LMAO.

[coalherd]

Down 10 and have a chance to get a=back into the game and we . . . shot another wild "three".  "HEEEEEL BILLY BALL"!!

[herdfan129]

Of course it sucks to lose, but I'm proud of our guys tonight. Great game on the road and we were in it the entire game.

This team is close to being REALLY good.

[jdonaccbus]

I thought the Herd played hard and didn't back down. I agree with the point that they played panic ball when they lost the lead. I am not a Beyers hater, but there are times we need to play McKey or Toussaint more when Beyers isn't bringing much to the game. They have more upside as the year moves along. It took way too long to adjust to Jackson-Davis. We let him do what he wanted the entire game.

This team has improved greatly already in a few weeks. A lot of upside but we have to clean some things up in the half-court offense and adjust better in-game on the defensive end.

[GreenWhite]

Lost 90-79. First time Indiana had been challenged this season. All games before ours was over by halftime. Proud of the way the team stayed in it until the end. I really expected to lose by 20 or more. No such thing as a moral victory but our guys played hard.

[marshall fanatic]

11 point loss to Indiana isn?t bad but allowing 1 person to score 43 points and making little to no adjustments is an issue.

[coalherd]

Oh well, at least it wasn't the usual 20, 30 or more point "blowout" that we have experienced whenever Danny's teams have played a "Major" foe during the regular season during his 8 year career.  We can always get well against a "Bluefield" or similar foe!  That is, if we don't lay another egg in our next game up at Akron!

[goherd1994]

It?s gimmicky.  Fun to watch when it works but not a consistent system, especially with whom he recruits ( or is able to recruit).  And I?m Amazed he doesn?t ever go to a zone considering how poor our interior defense is  . It?s been an issue for years and remains an issue. 

[coalherd]

I thought we put in a zone this off season LMAO.

Ah, once again, 129, we find a poster who actually believe all those glowing "practice reports" you see on this site.  Don't you know by now:  THEY LIE!!  ;D

[wlf]

At one point Davis had only missed one shot, coaches lost this game for lack of interior Defense scheme.
The announcers almost felt sorry for our interior players and coaches.

Um, Indiana beat Eastern Michigan by 6 and St. John?s by 2.
