Other Sunday games

Iowa cannot miss right now

Hey....we sometimes make fun of Fran (and I'm as big a culprit as any here), but I'm gonna give some big kudos to him and his team. They were just about dusted down 21 to Indiana, and the season could have spiraled out of control.....now they appeared to have gotten off the mat and could be a pain going forward. Murray can really play (all Big Ten to me right now) - his absence hurt them. Rebraca also may have turned a corner.....we shall see. IF they hold on, that's a big win @ the RAC.
 
IU has some major injuries, but they still have 4(4!) 5-stars on their roster playing today.

Woodson is officially on the hot seat IMO.
Absolutely no player development at IU. Jackson Davis is better than when he arrived but that is a function of physically maturing. Still only has one hand and can't shoot a 10 footer. Hood Shifino is good but he's a fool if he doesn't get out of town at the end of the season. Too many players with a baffled look after missing a D assignment.

Watching the end of the game to see what happened and hadn't watched indiana yet this year, I couldn't help but think that indiana was wasting so much talent and that northwestern was just a better "team"
 
Turnovers did in Indiana today. I did not realize Race Thompson had started 76 straight games until today- he's a big loss along with Xavier Johnson. Hood-Schifino is tough, had 33 but also chunk of the turnovers with 6.

yeah got hurt against Iowa. Woody said their defense sucks because he and Xavier are both out. Didn’t realize defense is only played by 2/5 guys on the court.

Dakich is going on his rant that they have 0 player development which seems about right. If I’m JHS and the season is lost come end of Feb, I fake an injury as to not screw up my draft stock.

Someone still follows Dakich?
 
JHS is good. He should definitely leave for the NBA. Trace reminds me so much of AJ Hammons. So much potential but just doesn’t seem to care he’s out there playing. I have no idea what preseason media still sees in IU season after season to keep ranking them.

Just don't send him a letter.

I agree on motor but not skill. AJ by his junior year could score at multiple levels. I barely trust TJD to make a free throw.

"To keep taking them"... Bruh we hadn't been ranked since since January of 2019 before this season. Before that it was like December of 2016.
 
Trouble with IU is they are not tough. They have lots of talent but don't have the edge and toughness needed to win against a motivated team. Same deal when Crean was their coach. It takes a special coach, like Coach K, RMK, Bill Self, John Calipari, etc to get talented players to rely on toughness rather than talent to win. Remains to be seen if Woodson can do that

Fran mixes his defenses. It absolutely turned the IU game around.

It's the old "potential" argument. People look at the talent on that team and see a potential B10 champ and FF contender.

Then the games begin.
