Yep, Indiana football is the new model.

Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 07:52:35 AMTre Norman plays good defense. Liability on the other end, but his defense was the reason he got run at the end of the game last night when Chase fouled out.

Great defense when he fouled on a three point shot one minute after he entered the game.

Shaka had no other choice but to play him, unless he went to Phillips or the walk ons.  Stevens was already out with five fouls.

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 07:55:17 AMIn the not too distant future, NJ will hit the freshman wall.  Probably AS, too.   Hopefully, Sean recovers enough to play 15 mpg, because if he doesn't, then Tre and Chase will continue to split time at the point when NJjr goes out.

Anyway, great game from NJjr.  Eight assists were awesome.  Seeing Parham and Owens progress gives hope.  3 straight double digit games for DO.  It would be nice if that were the new normal.

Counterpoint: if Sean is well enough to play, we lose that game

Quote from: GBPhoenix1993 on Today at 05:33:26 AMI'll say this about Ross, you can tell he cares and plays hard. He unfortunately is just way too inconsistent offensively to be "the man". He was much better as a highly athletic role player than he is as a guy trying to be one of the focus players on offense.

Chase is best suited as a high energy 6th man. Alas, on this team he supposed to be the lead dog.

PG with size/combo guard.  NJ will need help.

Yea, I'll vote for best defender available regardless of position.

Quote from: willie warrior on Today at 05:45:26 AMThe only guy on MU that plays a modicum of defense is Chase, and that ain't saying much.

Tre Norman plays good defense. Liability on the other end, but his defense was the reason he got run at the end of the game last night when Chase fouled out.

" Chase Ross fouling out was a helpful development. Just a turnover machine in the 2nd half and beyond. Gave PU free points with his painfully dumb fouls."

I advocated a few weeks ago that in order to develop the roster for next year Ross and Gold should lose minutes as younger players develop and show they can handle more.

Nigel!
