Rutgers vs Indiana / Game Two Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Has been for a while. Neither are great on the ball defenders but Caleb is better at everything else. Geo's actually a little soft - doesn't go strong to the basket and fades away on every shot. He seems to avoid contact. Other than the last minute of play when he is fouled how often does he get to the line during the rest of the game? Not much for a PG. If he is our PG in two years we'll still be near the bottom of the league.
Indiana will likely commit more turnovers and shoot a lower FT percentage second half. I also have to think we do a better job of not giving up so many easy buckets around the rim... We can definitely make a run. Odds are Indiana can't replicate this first half
McConnell is one of the few players on the team that can create shots off the dribble at different locations on the court.
It seems like this on TV, so I don’t know how true it is but...instead of Geo being the vocal leader in the huddles, someone like Eugene needs to lead even more so because Geo swings too heavily with the emotion of the game. We’re struggling, he’s probably struggling. We’re balling, he’s probably playing solid. Leaders should be able to play through other opposing runs and no matter how we’re doing Eugene is always an option to take a shot. No matter your thoughts on Corey vs. freshman development, I do miss the ice in his veins and leadership he brought. Hopefully Mulcahy and Young can bring some swagger as the PG’s.
On another note, Geo, if you read these boards, get off the damn phone and stop worrying about other people’s damn opinions!!!

That was the worst defensive rebounding half we have had in 3 years. Start boxing out. Ratchet up the defense and hedge the damn ball screen. Caleb is doing everything right and Geo is not. I cannot believe he will have 4 terrible halves in a row. I expect a big second half out of him. Harper getting that ******** Hollywood foul on Langford’s to get his 2nd hurt. He will likely have a big second half. Indiana will not continue to shoot well. Montez has to play under control and when he does and attacks , he is right. When he loses his dribble and plows it is a turnover or bad shot. Control. Pound the ball to Eugene, Myles and Shaquille’s and get Morgan into more foul trouble and play inside out. 10 point deficit can be wiped out with increased intensity on the glass and defensively.
Who has found trouble for Indiana. Please and thank you. And whoever does go right at them please

That’s the 2nd loose ball where that happened. Legit question, when is that a travel?
There have been three occasions on loose balls where we had the advantage but they got on the floor and got the ball.
Other than bringing the ball up the court, Geo is useless right now. Man, he needs to stop being scared and step up
Its going to a big time elevation in defensive intensity...not sure its coming. Indiana is way better than first meeting..need a meltdown

Indianas not even doing anything complicated. Ive been saying it all year, we have no idea how to deal with high ball screens. Its a high ball screen, drive, layup
