Rebounding is less about physical size and skill as much as it is about basic fundamentals. When I see a team of our talent level competing consistently for rebounds that is all about quality coaching. If there is one thing that keeps me hopeful about the future it is that these guys are being taught how to beat better talent by being a better team. That is what is going to really make a difference when we are able to add the talent to the teaching. This has always been a thorn in my side since the days of RMN.

Just aren't good enough to put together long stretches of good play. I'm shocked we out rebound teams as watching games it looks like we are constantly outrebounded and out jumped. On a positive note I like Lewis playing, he seems tough and athletic. Please stop playing Taber, its pointless he does nothing to help the team win, and it only hurts the future by him playing. I'd love to hear an explanation of why he spent most offensive possessions at the 3pt line....To say we will be within 10 of PU I don't see it. Maybe they are overrated or not that good, but we are worse, much worse. I agree with the comment its not about starting or the end, its that IU can't play consistent for a whole game.

Those two games against Iowa and Michigan gave us hope and that is the devastating thing. I thought they would struggle with PSU because Battle and Cornley are good players with experience. We all knew this team would struggle to score. There are no surprises here. Our expectations, and just the fact that we are spoiled by wins and miracles, (1989 B10 Championship team) makes this very, very frustrating. I know there will be retractors saying all the things about how Indiana is irrelavent, and to expect this from here on, but remember Kansas had not won a championship since 1988 before last year, Memphis has never won a title, Georgetown has not won since 1984, IU won three titles between UCLA's 10th and 11th titles, and there was 25 years between North Carolina's 1st (1957) and 2nd (1982) NCAA championship wins. Even Duke missed the tournament as recently as 1997(?). All programs go through bad times, and this program had to endure Hurrican Kelvin. So, chin up Hoosier fans keep on rooting for these guys and make them our version of Richie Farmer, Darrin Feldhaus, and John Pelphrey.

What was up with Story? He's one of the best athletes on this team, but yet he logged only 3 minutes?

Did I miss something? Did he get or hurt or find himself in the doghouse?
