First time IU has had the lead during a TO
IU 34-33 3:06
I try not to harp on officiating but what is Trevor Manhertz supposed to do there? How could he have played defense and NOT been called for a foul? It's been a harsh whistle on IU this half.
DeVries is pissed as Mustaf doesn't get the call he wanted
Manhertz has struggled from the field, but grabbed a nice blcok there
they need to nationalize and train officials...
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
IU 34 SYRACUSE 38 AT THE HALF
- Mustaf has been great with 9 points, providing great hustle
- Burton has been solid for most of the game, especially early
- Rim protection can be better
- Refs can be wayyyy better
- 9 offensive boards is great, just need to shoot it better
- IU went scoreless in the final 3:23. They need to just hit some shots
Lindsey= selfish. I see another 10-10 big ten record. Different players same result.
I don’t have much good to say on that half…
Burton was good. Alexis brings needed energy.
Defense was largely awful. I’m not entirely sure what our defensive strategy even is. As it is, we’re giving up way too many paint touches.
And on offense, looks like some token ball swinging leading to ISO ball and chuck and duck. When we hit a few, we make runs, when not, we struggle.
Hope this starts to improve. Sure doesn’t look like overly effective ball to me so far.
Darren Harris started the first half with a missed 3 ball. This half, he opens up with a make!
Cuse has picked up 3 fouls on 2 defensive possessions in this half. This one is a fould on Harris' three pointer, as he now hits the line for three
We suck- make fts and up by 3-5
Harris then with the steal and slam. He had an 8-0 run of his own as IU is up 42-38 and Cuse calls a timeout
I like how IU's defense has played to open this half
Cuse hits a three in Sherrell's face. He responds with his second tripple of the game
