Second-half thread for Indiana vs. NU

[lou v]

Well, NU finally got off to a good start but then gave almost all of it back, and it’s 23-20 NU at the break.

IU missed its first nine shots and had four turnovers early and NU eventually opened a 21-7 lead after back-to-back 3s by Kopp and Audige.

But then came NU’s obligatory scoring drought. This one was seven minutes long and IU got back to within three after a bizarre review counting Jackson-Davis’s basket on an inbound play. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Nice tribute by Buie to wear Berry’s jersey today.

Seeing our offense makes my toes curl. It’s normal to see more games in the 60’s and even 50’s as the season progresses. Teams are more studied, etc. But this is looks like some rec league level of offensive execution.

 

[NUera]

I know the early tip makes for a wonky start, but man have we missed a ton of shots around the rim. Those are hidden turnovers. Gotta finish.

Pound it inside

I just checked the gamecast. It looks like the kind of game that could cost Archie Miller his job ... win or lose.

 

[GatoLouco]

It’s ridiculous that Indiana cants take advantage, at least once in a while, of TJD being double teamed. Our rotation has been good, but for the most part they just stand around. Thanks Archie

The Robbie Beran Game

The Robbie Beran Game

We need Beran to carry us this game

 

[Titanium999]

Kopp bad turnover

 

[Titanium999]

Boy,are we playing tight down the stretch! Don't turn the ball over

 

[DaCat]

We need to close out a close game for once

 

[GatoLouco]

We need to find a way of not losing this one

 

[ParisCat]

Inexcusable playing and coaching in the last 2 minutes and in the last 25 seconds.

 

[DaCat]

Collins you're an awful coach!!!!

 

[IMC Cat]

In the final 2 minutes, NU had 4 possessions:
- Kopp turnover
- Greer turnover
- ISO play for Audige, brick
- in-bound alley-oop that turns into a turnover

ughhhhhhh

 

[DaCat]

Such stupidity only looking for Audige.

 

[Titanium999]

Audige playing great down the stretch

 

[IMC Cat]

Great game, Miller. You’re playing your way onto a nice SPAC pickup team.

 

[Titanium999]

Why foul there? Kopp?

 

[IMC Cat]

These refs REALLY want Indiana to make the NCAA tournament

 

[Titanium999]

Cheap fouls called against us! We had this game won!

 

[TheC]

We really don’t know how to win. So many dumb plays again down the stretch in OT.

 

[lunker35]

Completely phantom call on Greer. Unreal.

 

[DaCat]

Sorry but I'm done with Collins. Not a good coach.

 

[DaCat]

Please no more Buie. He's awful.

 

[DaCat]

2nd OT... don't know if I can take this.

 

[ParisCat]

Why do we do this to ourselves? I guess there are only a few of us left anyway.

 

[fkfootball]

Can you guys just stop shooting out of your minds and let Indiana get a win that might get them to the Tournament? Geez.

 

[jensberg]

No more Boo or Collins.

 

[LansingCat]

Hard team to love, yet . . .

 

[Catreporter]

This sounds like a replay of the Pitt disaster. This team just doesn't know how to win.

 

[NUera]

Completely phantom call on Greer. Unreal.

This

 

[IMC Cat]

Audige is a turnover machine

 

[Titanium999]

Greer outplaying Boo and Audige. Greer just doest make the mistakes those guys make! Dang! Greer fouls out trying to fix Audige turnover.

 

[NUera]

I hate the way Collins coached Audige to miss the front end of a one and one that would have sealed the win.

 

[DaCat]

I hope Barnhizer is good because we need to upgrade our point guard.

 

[jne381]

I had hope, but alas...

 

[FanatiCat]

Yet another game where this casual fan tunes in for the last frame to see us blow it.

 

[DaCat]

This one is on Collins.
