Coach Crean….What is Tijan doing in practice or on the court that Bawa cannot do or is not doing in practice? My only conclusion could be he is a senior and the crowd loves him more?

Just trying to think of better options than what we were presented…slight nod to the general with that name, but unique in its own right.

Has anyone in the media asked this question to Crean?

Is the only answer just “He's not ready?” It's just a bit baffling. What are we missing in practice, etc that keeps Bawa off the floor? Is he really that fragile mentally to think that he can't handle making a few mistakes on the court?

1. Remember we use to yell about IU chucking 3's like they were going out of style….how about 44 F/T's? I love it and as long as they make the freebies this puts constant pressure on teams and with IU's depth it could work in their favor…

2. We have NO inside game and I would like to see some of our BIG GUARDS to work inside some.

3. J. Rivers played an active game and love the 6-7-10…however no more reverse pivot passes…

4. We have NO inside game and I don't know who is on the radar to address that….outside of Plumlee….Zeller is not a back to basket player……Could we go JUCO?

5. Dumes playing well prior to the MD game was good to see but I don't like his 'on edge of punching someone chippyness'…I saw it a couple of times and he HAS to get that under control.

6. I think VJ3 is learning his new teammates and will come around. He seems to be choosing his spots on offense.

7. Tijan making lay ups, chopping people in the neck while boxing out, blocking a shot, taking up space is good to see. I just wish he could get a rebound…just ONE.

8. Bawa receiving his first pass and going up for a dunk would have been awesome. He seems less awkard as Tijan but still want him to get some floor time. We need some type of inside presence on both ends.

I look forward to discussing my Maryland prediction in the next 48hours. Colts 11-0

I think Rivers can post up and I would like to see Watford established low but who can deliver the pass ? Jones and Hulls scare me. Creek will be pressed Tuesday to keep Mosely from back dooring him like NW State did yesterday. We will need to play our best game of the season to be in it. They have alot of experience we donot have

Rivers was the only guy to log over 25 minutes, playing 36. Not to mention his ability to defend well and stay out of foul trouble while doing it.

Look at Jones for example, who only played 21 minutes, and he had 4 turnovers.

When you have a guy like Rivers that can only put up 2 shots and still make that big of a difference in the game, that's a pretty solid effort in my mind.

I do agree that the inside game has to come alive if we have a shot against Maryland. Pritchard made some small strides today, but Capo looked outmatched against NW State, and Jobe is well…Jobe. I'd like to see us try and use Watford in the post if we can get a match up advantage with a smaller player.

I think we really miss an inside game and could be embarrassed by MD if we donot play our best ball.
