I believe it will be a good learning experience that will help IU as the season goes on. It is foolish to trash talk our team and jump off the wagon because the team played a game flat. Young players tend to do that. Look for some good progress the next game. We passed on some good shots as the players are finding their roles. Nothing like youth to show the inconsistency in a season.

If IU wants any chance of becoming a decent team this season they are going to have to shoot better from the three and make free throws. Of course they need to cut turnovers, but I think the shooting is more easily corrected. The TO's seem to be a result of just being out-matched talent wise, not much you can do about that right now.<br><br>IU also needs Dumes, WIlliams and Story to step up and become consistent contributors. I think WIlliams and Dumes have been a little on the disappointing side to this point. <br><br>Pritchard is a huge bright spot, I've said this before, but before his career is over he's going to be an important part of a really good IU team. I don't think he'll be "the man" but he'll be an important player. This could get worse before it gets better.

Pritchard is a huge bright spot, I've said this before, but before his career is over he's going to be an important part of a really good IU team. I don't think he'll be “the man” but he'll be an important player.

1. D.Moore did make a three like I predicted
2. No Tijan today
3. The turnovers at some point have to get under a control
4. Verdell is a combo guard, not a pg. Jordan Hulls we are holding a spot for you kid.
5. I REALLY like the movement on offense in the first half, saw a nice flex/motion going.
6. Pritchard needs help

We seem to run our offense in a pretty disciplined manner but manage to come up with no open shots. Then we donot shoot very well from the floor or the FT line.

I have said before the TO's are going to hang around since most of this , in my opinion , is adjusting to college as we learn quicker recognition and harder delivery of the pass.

I think the only bright spot was Jannings only scored 17, one over his average. This was a disappointing loss. This was the first game in which there were no signs of improvement.

We have an inability to score which only makes every possession that much more important and thus, the turnovers are frustrating to that end.
I just want the boys to keep progressing and tonight was not progress.
