Roper starting over Berry

[freewillie07]

Interesting. I think I like this. The prospect of Berry joining Young on the second team could lead to some good 3-point opportunities.

I don’t like it. Roper over Berry is purely a defensive decision. Sure IU got incredibly physical on Purdue with great success. Chances are we do the same and have 10 fouls in 5 minutes. IMO our hope today is being hot on offense and outscore them.

Roper scored our first points.

Roper with our first points and feisty on defense. Berry with a nice 3-pointer to bail out the offense. (He had a defensive lapse and a bad miss on a 15-footer, so it evens out.)

Berry fell asleep and that led to a Young and 1 foul over Williams

Berry is in an awful shooting slump. Was hoping he would snap out of it after making his first shot but not so, at least in the first half.

Mostly unrelated, but Berry throwing a lob for Roper mid-second half is probably the worst fast break attempt I’ve seen from NU this season, and that’s saying something.

It’s not unrelated. That was the turning point in the game and yet another reason Berry rightfully lost his starting spot.

That particular play was brutal.
