LC said he wasn't sure if he was off. It was just a point of discussion, not a criticism. Get off your feelings |

Langford is sleepwalking through college ball without a care in the world, and Juwon Morgan is pretty good. Thats our 3 best players. This should be a waxing, Line should be more than 10
And we got exactly that |

We dont have anything like that on this team, just a lot of guys that fold like tents. I see better players any day of the week at my lifetime fitness. Easiest money I've made this week betting against my favorite local team |

This makes IU's spacing look awful.4. Morgan is a beast. But he gets worn down late in the game. Hard to carry the load all the time.Did you happen to notice, at that Purdue game, that IU didnt have a prayer in the world? Also that they were lucky to just get shots up at certain points? Just curious McRoberts on the floor still is the most alarming part of the Miller era. Josh is just so uncomfortable when the ball comes to him and has zero confidence yet we play him over any of the younger bench guys. Either they suck even worse or we're stupid, obv neither rings well for the Miller era. |

Just curiousEven if IU gets to the charity stripe more than Michigan, they suck at free throws.Michigan is #1 in the country in opponent FTA per game.Deron Davis out again, IU thin at forward.I was at that Purdue game and noticed that Romeo came out of halftime with his right wrist/thumb wrapped. That's his shooting hand. He couldn't make a shot for his life and was sloppy handling the ball.I'm not sure if he wore the wrap vs NW, or if there's a lingering issue.My 2 cents Sorry if this seems cynical. Here in Indiana I get to see the spectrum of good basketball. The Pacers have been writing the book on how to play the game the right way. Meanwhile the hoosiers look like they should still be working on basic passing and dribbling fundamentals. As IU fans, we struggled through the Crean era which is where much of my angst comes from. Archie needs to get the "right" personalities through the door. These kids are soft as charmin, on top of the fact they can't shoot or dribble. Can't believe people are putting hard earned money on "these" kids tonight. Yuck |

Totally agree hall of calls is a great asset to IUBB. However it's like this team just doesnt qualify for that advantage, they are just that bad and uninspiring. This is a great spot, nationally, for people to see how little heart Romeo has. He'll never live up to his billing, and this team isn't even talented enough to open up driving lanes for the only thing he does well.

Not sure what you expected the line to be. Seems like you expected the line to be higher in Michigan's favor due to IU's losing streak. IU could lose again tonight and if they played Michigan again next week...it would still be the same...-10 @ UM ....-3.5 @ IU...opening lines.Thanks Dave, for that useless piece, I'm aware of what home court is worth. I will expand my point for you though, Coming into the previous Michigan game, IU was coming off 6 straight wins including Butler and Louisville (and 3-0 B10) Probably the most fraudulent 6 straight, again I say that as a fan. Should've lost to Butler for sure. Now after 5 straight B10 losses we know they are a fraud, and yet the market hasnt corrected. They've really been really drubbed in the last 3, all they have been down big, including Nebraska at Assembly. So I ask, after 5 straight losses since the @ Mich -10, why has the market not adjusted?
Yeah that's fair. They've dropped 20 spots in kenpom, lost a starter to suspension, no market adjustment. If you bet IU, I'd advise not watching the games, you'll be puckering those ass cheeks the whole way. Team has no rhythm, flow, or shoot. Just iso + turning it over trying to feed the pain. With that being said I'm surely on the square side here. GL everyone |

Romeo has been exposed as a average at best jump shooter and taking away his driving ability makes it tough for him to score. If you wear out Morgan by making him work hard on both ends, they have zero front court depth. Also Hoosiers rank 206th nationally in 3 point % and even worse if you just look at conference play. They have several guys (mcroberts, smith, romeo) who are terrible at 3's. They don't even guard mcroberts he is so bad. Also Hoosiers are 309th nationally in FT% which is laughable for a team with this much talent. Also they are in the middle of a borderline unfair scheduling crunch. They played @mich, @mary, home Nebraska, @PU, @NW now after this home break vs mich they go @rutgers then @sparty. Brutal! Losers of 5 straight all in embarrassing fashion. I hope you hit but this team is truly unbetable right now in my eyes. GL Ill be rooting for you
This, also an IU fan. They are super unbetable right now, definitely fading them here against a much better coached and more talented Michigan team. The line only being at 4 has to be due to playing at assembly. However this team is just so laughably bad. They continue to trot out McRoberts and Durham, neither of which can shoot a lick nor penetrate, other teams know this. Langford has been rendered mostly useless. Green suspended, he could at least pass and shoot a little bit. No pride, no toughness, no offensive scheme. The defense has lost some luster, nothing to see here with this IU team. A pedestrian effort from the maize and blue covers the measly 4 points today. |
