Starting 5....

[BoilerInChiTown]

Would like to see Harris for Cox. Need to watch how Loyer is feeling with his arm injury. Like to see Heide and Colvin get more action since they are finally hitting. Furst need to rebound and stay out of foul trouble otherwise must have Heide in there for offense.

Hope Smith is getting his rest. I think he had too many minutes in the regular season. Can't be just p&r with Smith & TKR. Not sure what happened to our motion offense. We have become too predictable. Got to get more guys involved if we wanted to get to the 2nd weekend. Boiler up.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

Agree with the majority of that, specifically the 2nd paragraph. Don't know about the Cox/Harris switch. I like having Cox bring the ball up some early in the game. I just wish we'd run something for him to get open because he has a nice shot. We've seen him shoot well when he gets in rhythm.

Agree Chi.

I wish we’d get him him and Colvin more shots to get into the rhythm of their game. And I wish we’d get fletch more open as well off screens. Hell, let cox bring it up and run smith off double screens to get him open shots where he doesn’t have to work so hard with the ball In his hands.

I’m afraid, that may not be the offense this year tho 😔

If they hit the shots they’re supposed to make the offense is fine.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Harris or Colvin in for Cox right now. Gotta go with the hot hand or at least lukewarm. Pressure is on the O to score points.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

It's official now.....we will know more tomorrow.

We are only 7th best offense in nation.

We are only 7th best offense in nation.

And hopefully that carriers us through the tourney. Hell, bama did it last year, but bama shot 3s. We don’t shoot a ton—not IU low, but wish we’d shoot more. We are one of the more efficient 3point shooting teams in the country.

I think if we were to get our shooters and I mean ALL shooters more good, open looks, they’d be able to get into a rhythm and make it that much more harder to guard. Our offense is inefficient because of TKR and smith in the PnR. They both have to be perfect, and maybe they will be. But if we want to make any run, we need others to be able to score too.

 

[BoilerInChiTown]

Against McNeese State, would like to see Heide for Furst since they are not big.
Also want to see Harris with Cox to give Smith a little more rest, and play the hot hand with Loyer & Colvin.

I see us shooting a little better from 3 and making it back to Indy. Get hot in Indy and anything can happen. Boiler up.

Loyer starts even if he only plays 5 minutes. You don't break that starting streak in the tourney. I agree with Heide getting more minutes whether he starts or not.

We may need Harris, Cox AND Smith in there for better ball handling against this team. Especially if Loyers elbow is giving him trouble or if his shots aren't falling.

 

[mryankee2397]

i suppose he will have the same starting five and if so then i would like him to quickly sub in colvin and heide. loyer just isnt even close to 100 percent and i think colvin at least gives us a chance to score as does heide. cj has kind of disappeared on offense so maybe harris should get more time also. will just have to wait and see what coach decides.

He def went to quick subs in first game. 5 minutes in, cam and Myles came in. Typically I feel like it was after 10-12 min in regular season.

Miles always comes in on the first tv timeout. That’s been Painters first sub for about a dozen games or more

 

[BoilerDaddy]

I don’t really think it matters who starts. Painter will give minutes to the players who he needs to have on the floor. I do see Heide, Harris, and Colvin getting a lot of minutes this game.

Yeah that may be right. I could have sworn after MSU is when he started to do that. Prior to that, Myles would come in with about 9-12 min left.

Heide def came in way earlier this last game. But whatever works is good with me! Just win however!
