How many of his turnovers are a result of not catching the ball cleanly, or fumbling it, or dribbling into people? He'll also pick up dumb fouls. I think he had one about 45' from the basket in one of their first posessions last night. In the first few games I thought he was trying too hard, but it almost seems like his mind is elsewhere during games at times. He seems to lose concentration and focus.

They always lose early then peak in Feb/Mar. Plus no Suton. Once he's back and they start clicking, watch out. MSU will get better and be kicking a lot of butt.

I'd say he's been the most disappointing to me so far. In all fairness I was probably expecting too much. I thought he would be a stabilizing player for IU this year, but he looks more like a freshmen than anyone. I agree. I'd say he's been the most disappointing to me so far.

- team played hard the entire game
- offense scored as well as they are expected to, at least no worse
- Pritchard seriously outmanned did not panic and did not force, looks like a great passer
- Story seems to always step up to the competition , at the point reminds me of Frank Johnson
- Moore competes his heart out
- Roth found some shooting and actually looked ok in the zone
- no one got knocked out

I think Wake can hang with UNC so we should not be disappointed in the loss

2. We sit down every night waiting for the game to come on…anxiously awaiting the effort and discipline we so desperately desired out of last year's team (i.e. We stay up til 11pm to watch the live drawing of the powerball numbers)

3. Game is started with us actually grabbing a lead on a 3-point shot!!! (We have the first NUMBER as they pull the lottery ball out of the bingo machine!!!!)

4. The team looked respectable for the first 10 minutes (Holy COW!!! we actually had the 1st two numbers out of the bingo machine!)

5. ALL hell breaks loose! (i.e. We don't see a number withing 10 digits of our remaining 5 numbers!!!)

6. There's always the next game! (i.e. Can't wait for Saturday to play the powerball or hoosier lotto AGAIN!!! and suffer the same disappointing agony of going through steps 1-5 all over again!!!)

KEEP FIGHTING HOOSIERS! AT LEAST YOU ARE ALL PASSING YOUR CLASSES! THE CAVALRY IS ON ITS WAY!

It has been pretty pathetic in just about every game I have watched. One other fundamental I'd like to see to get better is the help side D.
