As far as the offense looking lost and being forced to chuck a 3….that won't go away when we get better players. That is a problem with running the set offense instead of the motion offense. If something goes wrong then the team has to start over with a new set instead of going with the flow.

Good game. Improvement in both turnovers and rebounding. Freshman mistakes yes, we knew we would have them.

all IU has is freshmen, so they're just going to have to learn in crunch time.

once Dumes fouled out, their options were Pritchard (freshman) or Williams (freshman).

I just don't think you ever dribble into a corner a limit yourself like moore did. Pritchard didn't seal well, but based on Crean's reaction to Moore, I don't think that is what Moore was supposed to do….

I have to disagree with you Smitty & Blab,
I think that Moore did execute the play, but Pritchard did NOT seal his man well enough.
Was it fatigue or inexperience that hindered Pritchard?

I like the draw up by Crean, but freshman in crunch time tend to struggle.

Tough break in the game when Dumes got called for his 5th foul. It looked clean and the ref had a bad viewpoint. We need Dumes in the game at the end.

Williams played very well. A good confidence booster for our young Hoosiers.

Keep on improving, & perhaps a little home cookin' will get our team over the top against Michigan.

I agree 100%, When I saw him pushing up the court and roth heading for the corner I knew where this was headed. Bad coaching move, bad decision by Moore…

What is with Moore dribbling down in to the corner wildly once again at the end of the game? What does Tom Crean expect to accomplish out of that? It worked ONCE against Lipscomb and we got a Roth 3 attempt and then they shut it down.

I think Iowa watches tape.

For all the good things Crean does, that was really frustrating to see coming out of a timeout.
