Self has to evolve this offense and let it shoot quick shots and force tempo. We built leads when they played fast. This doesn't look like a grind it out squad
100%. Will he do it tho...

Buckle up.
The crazy thing is Duke is still quite good without them. KU could still lose. Allen and Kennard will literally play the entire game though, so maybe we can wear Duke down a bit.
A big issue is that he just isn't a high level athlete. Doke needs to play more. Lucas is super smart though so that will keep him on the floor.
FRESHMAN.
Also I don't care that it's against ISU.
I mean....what if?????
On the bright side Josh and Doke are gonna play a lot, should shut up the Self doesn't play FR idiocy.

@wrwlumpy VERY good point. I don't recall EVER seeing such a lineup in any game before when there is so much on the line. Have you? I thought there would be a lot of fouls but our 3 best players not being there in OT is not what we can afford ever again.
Don't know who it will be but Self needs to trust either Lightfoot or Coleby. Can't play a bunch of 4 guard ball when you only have 5 eligible scholarship guards and NOT have foul trouble.
Nice of a game that had a tip time of 8pm to end around midnight. Thanks again refs. Gotta try to get some sleep!

@DanR Good take. We beat them in every stat except 3 pointers (we were 7/21) and rebounds (-11).
Yepppp. Knew if we lost, threes would be the reason.
Also will say it again, post game talk pretty rational here. I don't even dare load up the Phog.
@BeddieKU23 said:
well this team just missed shots period, so many missed bunnies, so many missed shots from guys that usually make them. some FT's as well at critical times.
Yep missed a lot at the rim. The curse continues.

As I said before. Lucky it's early. Very humbling. Now maybe we can get past the hype and get down to business
Self would have rather had a win ofc but secretly he is a little happy.

Lucas got a lot of credit for stabilizing our team last year...and stepped up his game after that whole mess of meetings between coach and 'The Core'. But not seeing carryover and we don't have the cohesiveness that thought we might see mixing experience and new talent.
Maybe IU with their offensive approach isn't a bellweather for where we are against a more balanced approach team.
IU seems insane offensively. Shooters at every position. Crean puts a premium on it when recruiting, and rightly so.
Probably starting 0-2, but there are things to build upon from this game.

Remember when this was an incredibly deep team last summer?
My how things change.
I mean to be fair, the refs aren't going to call this many fouls once we get into the meat of the season. We can't afford an injury but otherwise it's okay. Honestly, Self needs a 4th big he can trust.

JNewell said we didn't have a long bench, but I never thought we'd have to use Tyler in crunch time
Well when you have 3 guards foul out.
THATS TYLER SELF'S MUSIC
Mason out we are done.
Ohhhhh man too bad Indiana had a time out
I am now delirious and must have lol in all my posts apparently.
that was a travel by Anunoby lol
Terrible turnover
our entire team may foul out guys
I have all my salt ready
Also, remember that gift bucket IU got on the shot clock no call?
that was not a foul btw
If I'm Indiana I ride or die with Blackmon

Gonna be tough for college basketball games to last as long as college football games, but the basketball side is giving it a go on day one.

@BShark Graham's leading the team in pts though
He has done well at the line. Rough night from the field.
@HawkChamp said:
So many missed opportunities. I think they're done. Too many jump shots that aren't going in and they refuse to block out on shots.
yep unfortunately
Graham and Josh both with rough nights shooting.
This is feeling like an L now
SVI
refs are paying us back guys
double foul is stupid af
hmmmm what is the call here
