Game thread for IU vs. NU

Cats need to stay up tempo but get much better shots. Tire em out but don’t take crappy shots. Take it to the rim.

We cut the stupid shots by 2/3 and magically the ball starts going through the basket. Still fair amount of non sense shooting going on

There was a good coaching move. We switched Boo to cover Kopp. It requires minimal effort since Kopp is slow and cannot put the ball on the ground.
 
Very much agree. Take the open three or go to the rim. Press the action. Good shots but keep the pressure on.
 
The offensive rebounding advantage had kept us in it. Let’s make some damn shots, close out on the defensive boards and finish them. Every time it looks like we’re going to pull away they score at the rim.

From the Indy Star
————————-
Citing “disciplinary reasons,” IU coach Mike Woodson announced near tipoff that he had suspended five players for the Hoosiers’ game Tuesday night at Northwestern.

Woodson confirmed his decision speaking with Don Fischer on Indiana’s pregame radio show. A program news release distributed at the same time confirmed the five players were guards Xavier Johnson, Parker Stewart, Khristian Lander and Tamar Bates, as well as center Michael Durr.

“When you don’t obey the rules,” Woodson told Fischer, “you’ve got to do things you don’t want to do.”

Per IU policy, if the players were being suspended for failed drug tests — underlining all those words — they could not dress out for this game and they are dressed out.
 
Still get the feeling this game is gonna be close with a minute or two to go.Hope not .Play smart and finish this game.
 
Beran was fouled on the arm on the strip, then everyone is up in arms when he goes straight up and doesn’t get called for a foul. OK.

Not sure what that was between Nance and Galloway. Did he flop?

Beran foolishly holds onto the rebound and gets it stripped away. Too many brain farts!
 
if you're not going to go with Nance and Young, then you need to go with Nance and Nicholson.
 
The basketball IQ on our team is incredibly low for such a smart school. I just don’t understand it.
 
I like the official review just in case that foul wasn’t Painfully obvious.
 
Big call there against Young. Probably the right one (looked just outside the restricted at first glance), but definitely one that tends to go against NU, even when at home.

Geez, Galloway!

Gotta knock it off with the arm hook. That can hurt someone.

Really nice player and clearly exhausted, but that’s not a good look.

That 5th foul on 32 is the same they called a flagrant on him earlier. Let’s see if they keep consistent or not.
 
Why are they taking so darn long to review this? It’s obvious. Dirty plays from Galloway. Dangerous.
