120 more shots worth of offense? And really-----YOu think Carsen's shoooting 199 three's was by fcking design?Laughing YOu guys were something like 7-7 in games where Edwards shot 20 or more times. The whole point is , he(Carsen) is a chucker.
"How many chucks can Carsen chuck......
Have no idea what you're even trying to say hereEspecially when they didn’t have any other 1st 2nd or 3rd team optio
Not really. Weak bubble. IU controls its own path. Just gotta win. Feel comnfortable that a win on Thursday puts IU in.
oh i dont disagree with carsen being a chucker. still doesn't mean your head coach didn't horribly misuse your best players and barely ran anything resembling a competent offense120 more shots worth of offense?

He is saying IU had Two, All- Big 10 performers on the team. I do agree Romeo needed more plays ran for him. Just not that many plays....My goodness.
Cannot disagree totally. In fairness though, the offense scheme wasn't that bad. Just didn't have the parts to execute. No shooters. That can make scoring tough. Lately shots have went in. Weird how that makes an offense look good, huh?
I was frustrated with ow Romeo was used. Is what it is.
They had two All Big Ten guys? Didn't even know that. And they finished 8-12 in conference? Our only All Big Ten guy was a chucker and we still finished 16-4?
yes, he rarely moved for long stretches and was posted up about 1000 times less than he should have been
He averaged 17 points a game...horribly misused is just incorrect
Didn't think it was that confusing. I was making fun of Indiana fans who were upset that Morgan didn't make 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team All Big Ten.
True. But lets say he shoots his HS percentage from three; 38%. Kid now goes from 17ppg...to about 23. So now he has his perimeter game, AND his ability to get to the rim. I doubt we are talking much about how he was used. With that being said, I do think Miller should have adjusted to his shooting woes, and used him more in the post/baseline. The wrist injury, as suspected, was more of an issue that first thought. No doubt it impacted his shooting.
But, he did....He was 3rd team(media). Pretty fair IMO. I thought he would at worse be a 3rd teamer by the coaches. Stiil, a solid season.
I don't think he was snubbed. Guys in front were pretty darn good. He was a 3rd team by the media.
Math isn't needed. COmmon sense is all. His perimeter shot falls at 38%, it would have opened up his ability to drive. Teams just sat back and waited on him. Had he shown he could knock down the "3", they wouldn't have been able to do that. Hence, his averaging probably goes up at a pretty good clip.
Not really. He couldn't make shots. THat had more to do with is offensive issues, than how he was used. I got agitated with the standing around. I thought he should have been used more in the post/baseline. When they did use him there, he was succesful. BUT.....lets say IU goes to that. Guess what? Teams probably start to double him(post). Then what? Its easy for us to say----"Post him up". But Big 10 coaches are paid to figure that shit out. And they owuld have. All in all, things turned out pretty good(for him).
I think it’s been abundantly clear that math isn’t a strong suit for this group.
0.73 incremental pts per game (conference)
JFC...dudes that pull this sht are the fcking worst (assuming accusations are true)

Romeo hitting a handful more threes during conference play wasn't going to change the way teams defended him by and large. Now, if he didn't play on one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the country, that might have created more space for him to create off the dribble and generate easy offense.
Still, going from 17 ppg to 23 ppg isn't just a "well, things would open up a bit" type of step up in scoring. No player has averaged 23 ppg in the B1G in 20 years.
Ummm, are you being serious?IF Romeo shot 38% from "3", that would involve a tad more than just a "handful more of three's". No way you don't think a 38% shooting Langford from "3" is NOT defended differently? Man you are way to smart of a poster to think this.
And 23ppg probably a bit much. More "hyperbole" to get a point across. But at 38%, I do think he averages 20ppg.
I think I used that fact when a Purdue fan/fans thought Edwards could score 25ppg in conference play.
Oh, I know....Not so sure I'd call it a snub. I love Morgan. Great player for IU. But looking at the 3 teams, who do you put him in front of? Palmer, maybe?
Yup. I’ll add to that. Not only make it, but to get drafted as well.
He made 33 three's. If he shot 38%, he would have made 46. 13 more three's, or 39 more points on the season. That's an extra 1.25 points per game. That would get him to 18 pts per game.
But don't let numbers get in the way of your narrative.
So we agree: scoring at that threshold is extremely rare in this league and shouldn't be assumed as easily attained.
How is Alabama #20? Did some of their boosters accidentally donate to the bball team instead of the fball team?
Just goes to show how lucrative these TV deals are.
What about taking that number of shots? How rare is that? Scoring 23ppg isn’t that impressive when he shoots 30 times a game.
Just shows how good of a coaching job Painter did to overcome the Chuckster and win a share of the title.
Also, if you're going to troll the FGA, at least make your hyperbole within reason. You could have said "shoots 20 times a game" and it would have been at least in the ballpark of his 19.2 field goal attempts per game.
