The stat I would like to know at the end of this game is how many TT threes were made over the top of our Bigs and Manhertz.
23 FT's taken for IU already
Really need this second half to be a blowout
Michigan was beating Gonzaga by 40 in Dusty’s second year and this what we get in Year 2 under Doorknob.
Unlike the announcers I did not find that half entertaining. To me different players same result. So far not a fun team to watch in my opinion.
Samet Yigitoglu with 10 and 4, Aiden Sherrell with 9 and 5, Trevor Manhertz with 8. The starting backcourt that was really good against Syracuse? Not so great. Harris and Burton are scoreless on three total shot attempts and Mustaf has 5 (all from the line). IU leads 41-37 at the half. Tennessee Tech is in major foul trouble but they have successfully mucked this game up.
HALFTIME THOUGHTS: 41-37 IU
- IU has attempted 23 FT's thus far, which might be boring and take a while to watch, but it will be why they win this game
- Tech is a very good team, and IU held them to only 37 points, which is good, whether you like it or not
- IU needs to just knock down more shots consistently; they aren't shooting it well
- Yigitoglu has looked the best he has in the cream and crimson
- I like the focus of going down low, but IU's guards need to be better
Very hard to watch. Drop balls, easily stripped. Lose sight of manand ball. Guards can't deliver but Bigs don't demand the ball either.
Hopefully some adjustments are made at half.
@cmanahan BS...this is a SoCon team we are playing at home and we are a 26 point favorite. So far this IU team shows no enthusiasm and a real lack of sustained effort. That's not a good sign. DD has more assistants than he does quality players. I hope I get proved wrong...and soon.
@uncleter I just disagree. This team is better than a lot of people think. I think they play in March. They are sneakily good. I think IU wins this half by 15 and gets a comfortable victory. It isn't beautiful, but it is enough
Good start there for IU

what flavor kool aid are they serving at the Hall tonight
Compare the men’s basketball NIL budgets for IU and Tennessee Tech. This game shouldn’t be remotely close.
Lindsay is "fun chaos" as my friend just texted me
Great pass from Burton to Lindsay for a three!! He is indeed fun chaos
