Indiana is a bubble team shooting very well.
We ar not a bubble team, but we think or want to think that, especially at home, we can now play a tight game v IU.
Here we are down 15 at the half. (Would be 25 w/o TF)
This is what you call discouraging to the fan base.'
Down eight, maybe I'd feel different,.

Subbing has not been good today. whenever Francis has come out has been a disaster. Actually, on both ends. He’s had a pretty good game on D today too.

Whomever said Indiana wasn’t very good that comment didn’t age well

struggling sure but far more talented plus must win game for them
I think its more we suck

They havent played well this year on 4 game losing streak and embrassed by Iowa at home

Our defense is horrific and no one can shoot besides Francis

We should be playing better defensive line ups. Maybe not every day, but tonight Francis is without question one of our top 5 defenders. So are Davis and Buchanan. That would cover all points except Powers two 3s. Powers is not good at all on D.

The script is we make a run and cut it to 5, then they pull away, and then we get some garbage points and lose by 9.

Playing him really hurting us. Buchanan hasn’t been an effective playing alongside him. I’d like to see Pike give Dortch a chance at the 4. Nobody else playing that position has any points so why not?

Davis, Francis, Buchanan, Dortch and Ogbole

That would have been our best defensive line up of the half and everyone with points on the board would’ve been out there.
We'll never see it but both have said we' like to see the two "bigs" together for awhile

Agreed. He brings a ton of energy and can rebound. They went on their run when he was in the game.

Indiana is not very good. They have no size and turn the ball over a lot ..but they can shoot threes.

Help defense is important but it should really be a last resort. When it's your objective it's going to result in a million open 3's.

What an *** whooping

Not competitive

Bring them all bac they say

Powers is actually really bad on D. I hadn’t noticed he was this bad until this game.

Want to keep Francis ans Buchanan. Ogbole is he’s eligible to return. I’d like to see Dortch at the 4.

While our offense has not been great at all, our defense is by far the bigger issue on this team
