I just Googled “motion offense basketball” and got 91,000 hits. Just a suggestion . . .

This one is clear....TODAY IU WAS OUTCOACHED.......
1. Thabeet is 9ft tall and gets tired thinking about running, yet we may have had 4 fast break points.

2. The last time this team hit a 3 was when Rip Hamilton was there...why not a zone?

3. I would say EJ for the season may have had 5-7 screens set for him...TOPS.

4. DT and DJ could play together better if .....they actually worked together. DT cannot score often with just moves, but if we actually used (dare i say it) screens to help get him open...it might just work.

5. for future reference....we need a pure point guard.

6. Interesting thought, what is Matt Roth going to do at IU? Maybe he BYOS (Bring your own screeners)

* Tough loss, a good win at Wisconsin could help, still happy (not satisfied) where we are now in the season.

* Billy Keller Pacer ABA great said here in Indy on Friday, EJ is a great great player and shooter but needs to work on the .....Mid Range game and ball handling. Welcome to your sophmore year EJ.

The solution to our offensive problems are simple SET A SCREEN FOR A SHOOTER. All of this one on one shit is killing me. The only reason why we have won this year is because most of the opponents have no athleticism. Gordon needs to watch some old tapes of Alford moving without the ball.

The offense looks like 5 guys playing pick-up down at the Y. There's very little help side defense. And I don't even want to think about how bad the defensive rebounding is.

Well I am now going to to two things. One of which rarely ever happens, and the other happens rather frequently. Watch the Purdue v Wisconsin game and root for Purdue. The other one being DRINK LOTS OF BEER!

dont want to be negative but the only two NCAA Tournament-caliber teams IU has played so far this season (Xavier, UConn), they've lost to.

this team has a looong way to go and isn't even in the same area code as some of the Final Four favorites like Memphis.

Here's a wild thought…

We've sucked at twos because we try and change our shots in the lane….SO DO NOT TRY IT…

We've been awesome at threes and we need all the points we can get…HMMMM>>>>SHOOT A THREE????

What did we do the last two possessions….? Drive to the lane and PRAY that something good happens….
