Their 4 top scorers are all 6’5″ and under. I expect our guards are in for some trouble tonight trying to handle the speed. Interesting to see how CTC handles the PT if they “out quick” us

5’10 and 6′ for their top two scorers and rebounders. They did have Georgia on the ropes till the end. JR and VO should match their speed. Just hope we can do better with those TOs…Seems like Moore and JR (hard to believe) have the best assist to TO ratio and I suspect that will equal more PT. I see Mo and CW lighting it up….be nice to see a win by 10

It’s only been two games, but the turnovers are a cause for concern. IU is ranked 290th in turnover percentage. They were 306 last year.

So we’re making progress you say? Outstanding.

Actually makes me pretty sick to my stomach especially after reading that Butler had 6 turnovers in their first game against a lackluster foe.

In your opinion what is the reason for our lack of fundamentals? Poor coaching or poor execution or nerves or what? Can’t keep winning turning the ball over this much.

Not that anyone cares anymore but Jeremiah Davis is going to Cincinnati. Not so long ago we would all have been upset to hear this and now it is a ho hum occurrence.

Great question on the reason for the turnovers and it’s certainly something we’ll try to dig into more as the season goes along, if the turnovers continue at such an alarming rate.

How much longer will Cronin be around? I don’t think he’s made the NCAA Tournament yet at UC and he’s now in his fifth season with a losing record overall the past four years.

Good question. His seat is hot at UC. I think the departure of Lance Stephenson might have bought him another year.

Have you spent much time there Alex? UC’s campus leaves a lot to be desired and they are not even the best team in the city. They are the #3 program in the state and are way down on the list among those in the area such as IU, UK, OSU, Louisville, X, etc.

I think the football team struggling this year might by him another year too.

And, if UC gets rid of Cronin, who comes in next? At least Cronin is doing a decent job of recruiting.

He came into a situation much like CTC. Look at how much better CTC has done with recruts. But, CTC has Indiana and championships to back him. UC doesn’t have that legacy. And, it is well known that Nancy Zimpher screwed Coach Huggins. She didn’t support the football program much either. Now that she has been gone for about a year, hopefully UC can get the town behind them again. It is tough to see Huggins go to WVU and win immediately. Huggings was loved by many in Cincy, and those who hated him at least respected him as a coach.

I feel as though some of the turnovers are not a big deal right now though. All of the charges called last game (way more than average) and few passes were simply miss handled on the break. These things will go away. We still have a high number, but not quite as bad as it would seem.

Can i like… give cover it live $1 to stop showing me ads? thx.

It is amazing that a couple of strategic phone calls and I will know everything I need to about a potential job candidate. Yet the NCAA will take weeks to make a determination that a few phone calls and checking some documents could solve relatively quickly. It is almost as if the NCAA is telling member schools to not recruit foreign players. Again, they don’t have the high school B-ball structure and support like we have here in the states. Most of the good kids have to play on club teams in order to get better. It is not like Guy is someone that will be playing in the NBA next season. They need to start looking at the circumstances and what is best for the kid. It just doesn’t seem right to be punishing this kid.
