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.

Maybe he needs some more minutes. 12/22 from the free throw line. It wouldn't make a difference in the game, but we're just giving away points there. Silly turnovers killed us. Story's breakaway at beginning of second half, he goes for a layup and misses, they rebound and score. Set the tone for the rest of the game. He should have thrown it down hard. Overall, the effort was there, now if we could get some height. They will have my support all the way. Peace. Roth plays only 21 minutes and scores 12.
