Indiana v Kansas

Still need guard depth. I'm not arguing with you, you think we have great guards. We don't.
Meh, probably upset with some tough calls....Is what it is. Foul trouble hurt IU today. That and two really bad possessions when they were up 10: Mgbako a bad shot, and Wlaker an even worse shot. KU comes down, cuts the lead to 5, and its game on---Score on one or both, and now theres a lot more pressure.
Seemed Self wanted to key on Malik, and KU did a very nice job defending him; although he did miss a few easy ones.
Ware has the softest hands ever.
A call, or lack of no call, at the end, was really the only call that really bothered me. KU misses FT, and the ball goes off Ware. Which, it dd. Did it hit the line? I dunno----close. But what led to that I had a problem with. Ware has inside position, and HD reaches through Ware. There is contact, and it knocks Ware off his spot. IMO, that had to be a foul, OR, you just holf your whistle on a very close OOB call. That play gets my ass at this level. Let the play process...have a paitient whistle there. Had HD gone above Ware---I have no issue. But he reached over him, through his space, i.e. cylinder. There is contact, it displaces Ware from his spot, he fumbles the ball....So on and so on. Huge no call.
All in all, that game was hard to call. Physical. KU got some calls....IU got some. But at the end of the day, just to many turnovers for IU(16) and missed freebies----plus the two possessions I mentioned above.
Tough loss. Lead for 35 minutes---and squander it at the end. But even in a loss, I like the IU I saw today.
Congrats on a gutty win...
I didn't think the ball hit the line initially. On replay it looked closer, but still not sure.
I think people have sold Indiana short. There are definitely talented pieces on the roster. Reneau is tough to guard. Mgbako’s starting to turn it on and has a ton of potential. Ware’s a good talent. But Galloway….wtf was that? Dude looked like Kirk Hinrich on roids today. Has he ever had a game like that before?
Granted, KU’s defense wasn’t great at times. Definitely not McCullar’s strongest effort, but a lot of that was because he was in foul trouble the whole game.
Galloways career high prior to today was 20. He was aggressive today, and didn't settle for jump shots. Which is exactly how the kid should play; hes hard to handle off the bounce---not crazy athletic, but can be very crafty---and he's strong as ****. Never thought I'd say---"KU couldn't guard him off the dribble". IU just needs a consistent Galloway.
FOul trouble really hurt IU, today. Lack of depth reared its head. The real hurt was Mgbako. KU just had no answer for him(today). When IU went with PNR, Galo/Ware, and used Mgbako as a trailer---Kansas could not defend that---IU either got a layup, a short jumoer, or was fouled---Just no answer for that set. So when he went out with four...…….Man that was tough.
Disappointing loss for sure. If IU takes better care of the ball, they probably win. But like I said, liked what they showed today. YOu dudes are really good....I know it was at home, but still. This game worried the shit out me---As in getting blown the fuk out on our own floor.
Lot of truth....And the past feew years, you could probably add your guys as well. Whoop Miami like a dog----then lose to UNCW. At home.
It was hard to tell. Didn't show the best of angles. Again my thing there, as an official---the contact by HD was illegal, caused Ware to lose the ball. You either call the foul, or play on. No way IU should lose the ball there.
The ref had a better angle on the baseline ball call than either camera angle (they were inconclusive) so I assume it touched the line.
I do agree there. Should have been a foul but oh well...they generally let them play today.
Just saw where KU scored on 14 of their last 18 possessions. Absolutely owned the last 5 minutes.
Indiana played a heck of a game though. It would have been a great win, but you can still take heart in the effort.
A bit and the foul situation didn't help but Kan was cold early and hot late.
i don't watch much Kan ball but was surprised at some of the motion they used.
Sort of.....But not really. KU/IU both used starters the same amount. FOul trouble was the issue.
TBH, Im not sold KU wins IF Mgbako doesn't get into foul trouble.
There weren't that many to bitch about. Yeah Mgbako's fourth and the phantom baseline call on Cupps but frankly I thought IU got away with some physical play early on.
