I get one right occasionally I saw Ole Miss play Arkansas Little Rock and knew they would be very tough for us to beat. The frustrating thing was the self-inflicted wounds. We can't fix a lack of perimeter defense overnight, we HAVE to shoot better than 44% from the FT line! Have fun watching the game, we have to listen to it on the radio. ESPNU is picking up a MAC football game instead.

Lookin gback on your comments you were a genius. Creek was a major liability on defense . I was in the stands down here and got so I could predict the Ole Miss offense. It was called “find Creek and exloit him ” . Almost every Ole Miss possession when he was in the game went like this. Hulls was devoured and is not yet an answer. Elston, Dumes , RIvers and sometimes Jones looked to be the only kids that could play at the Ole Miss level at this point of the season

Ok People we are talking about a team of 5 freshmen and 1 transfer player. In high school if you had the freshman team play the senior team you would expect them to loss. Everyone of these players are winners, came from winning programs. So I am sure this loss is hard on them too. Lets stand by them and not make excuses. I for one am very proud of this team, just like last years team

I agree with you completely. Pathetic defense. It wasnt horrible on ball for some part, but when they got by one guy it was a wide open lane. Also the fact that Tijan got in some regular minutes is rediculous. Why not put Bawa in who could use the experience and is already 10x better than TIjan will ever be. I love Tijan, but come on. Watford just got bumped around this game, i knew he would it was just going to a matter of how he reacted. Tijan got in the game and caused 2 turnovers in a row…. on us. Hubert Davis mentioned that Tijan possessed a shot-blocking ability and that deffinately made me laugh. I was excited to get up early, but then came in Hulls, and Jobe. Hulls just isnt ready. He does play tenative and jacked up a couple long threes. Rivers, Jones, Creek were the only three that were any bit consistent this game.

That was absolutely horrible. After reading all the threads on here nobody mentioned their defense. I mean hell they just basically walked in there and shot layups all night. Then when we got the ball we couldn't hold on to it. Two more things we can't rebound and we didn't hit our free throws…Yeah before all you guys go and start bashing me I know that IU is very young and in the rebuilding process but damn!!! That was very frustrating for me to watch. Jordan Hulls looks like he's scared to have the ball in his hands. Something I don't understand about the coaches decision was to stay in the 2-3 zone and why in the hell was he putting Tijan in the game?? Does anyone have a good response to this? That's bulls@&t.

hopefully coach crean will look at this tape and say wow we need some big men that can rebound and catch the ball and when they do catch it they now what to do with it. this is going to be a long year. we need to start recuriting some biggs for next year.

Free Throws. That says it all.

Do you still feel the same? I agree Dumes hasn't added much and Pritchard was disappointing tonigt- but at least Jones can score. They were clueless without Rivers, Hulls looked overmatched. Our Big men (Pritch, Capo….and Jobe?) are SO slow and cumbersome….I am quite discouraged by this effort.
