In SEVEN minutes. How is that even possible?
I expect that we're going to come out and use some of the same game plan we used against Jabari Smith last year when we knocked off Auburn. Going to have to take away the drive and inside play of Jackson-Davis and hope he isn't hitting his midrange shots. Can't afford to give him anything easy at the rim
I would let him shoot outside all game long. I would make him.
Agreed. Not that it would've made a huge difference, but would've liked to see Casey get some spot minutes and see what he could do with it.
Kent St has the floor game game of a P5 team, and the scoring ability of a pickup team at your local Y
His game is strictly 16 feet and in. Not gonna see him jack 3's. Gonna have to keep him from attacking the gaps and out of the lane. Would like to see us front him too. Thought we were too passive in letting Drake's big catch the ball. It almost cost us the game tonight. That guy may have had a season high tonight.
Nah man, their big is freaking legit. Moves very well and distributes the ball. Key to their O.
The key will be focus. Miami can't play a first half like they did today. That's what matters. Wong needs to get active early, and Omier has to find a way to stay out of foul trouble(Which is unlikely, you know full well the blue blood tax will be paid)
Nope he won't but Omier can't get out and defend him either, he will get abused with that spin move. I think he is a great player but he gets careless with the ball and we got to take advantage of that. Offensive rebounding from Indiana concerns me.
We shall see. I just don’t think they’ll lock in on D like Drake did
Won't be a walk in the park for us. Indiana has got capable shooters to go with one of the better big guys in college basketball. When they're on they can beat anyone. We've got to win on the boards and I know we haven't been great late in games but keep in mind Indiana isn't a great FT shooting team. That said, I like our chances IF we're playing good ball and there are no setbacks with Omier's ankle.
Dude, they are a less athletic Duke. In other words, a superstar and a bunch of okay guys, with a secondary scorer that can get his. If you were to take off the Indiana jerseys, and say it was a school like TAMU, our fans wouldn't be wetting themselves. Kent State was able to get where they wanted to go all night, they just can't make a layup. Indiana is a solid team, they have a superstar, but they aren't the second coming of 1990 UNLV.
They diced IU up but couldn't finish. Some of that was TJD but just awful around the rim. They had to have missed 10 open layups.
Jalen Hood is not just an ok guy. He's got NBA 1st round material written all over him.
Gonna have to be a team effort on TJD. He can hurt you in a variety of ways. Not just with his scoring. They're an ok team rebounding the ball. We must capitalize and win that battle. Can't have them getting 2nd and 3rd chance opportunities on offense. We need to be sharp. Can't always control your shots going in, but our effort and energy can and we can't be lackadaisical on those 2 fronts
