3. Sean will figure out how how to play point.  Getting into the paint without a plan for the next play.

I'm not sure I agree with this.  Sean strikes me as a 10 mpg change of pace guy, not a 28 mpg starting PG.

This game was like getting hit by a truck. Didn't see it coming. What a big difference it makes to have ten transfers of older guys that are getting paid. They played like a semi pro team who learned a lot from playing in Europe. Its disappointing and sad that college basketball has morphed away from student athletes to semi pro ball players. It's two different games. I know I will continue to root for Marquette.

I get that.  That is what he was pre-injury.

not sure what Maryland presents, but Purdue, Oklahoma and Wisconsin present experienced, talented teams. If...big IF, MU enters conference play with 4 L's, not sure they play much better than .500 ball on the season. If so, doesn't it force the HC to rethink how a roster is assembled? MU has a roster of solid guys, it seems. Rep the University at a high level. BUT, taking the no-offer-development-guy will have to change. Or, accept what it is.

Tower, I think the thread title should've been "Hoosier daddy".

At halftime I figured the title would be something like "Mother Tucker" or "Tucking Brutal." Then we got DeVries in foul trouble and let another mid-major transfer go off on us.

so is this going to be the new "our academic standards are too high" excuse? Do you think none of our guys are getting NIL? At a minimum, they're all getting six figures from revenue share.

And lets look at the blue blood programs where the "semi pro" guys who played  more than 10 minutes and crushed us came from:

Drake/West Virginia
Sam Houston St
Drake/DePaul
Davidson
Troy
true freshman
UT Chatanooga/Florida
North Florida

Why?

By the way, it's not "semi-pro." It's "pro."

Maybe the next time we play Indiana it should be in Alaska not the United Center.

Nigel starting the 2nd half over Sean was telling.  Shaka sees what many of us see too.

The result sucked, but it is still November.  I see no need to worry yet.  Yesterday Shaka really shortened the rotation in the 2nd half, he learned who his best guys are.  That will help going into the Maryland and Dayton games.

If we are still getting blown out like this after New Years I will be a lot more concerned.

I just hope Shaka isn't chalking it up to a just a one off. I'm fine with giving Sean another mid major game to prove he can fix his decision making but Shakas got to give him very little room for error next Saturday against Maryland.

[CTWarrior]

I get that.  That is what he was pre-injury.

Yeah, but I think that may be his ceiling at this level.  not a good shooter, too small to get a shot off in traffic and not great vision when he drives.  Hope I'm wrong and you are right.  I think his body goes faster than his brain, if you know what I mean.

[jfp61]

we gonna reach a point in this season where im calling to play sean jones less than adrien stevens and michael phillips.. Just beat maryland and get a lineup settled for big east play so we can go .500

The problem is just as much on the other side of the ball. IU took advantage of every switch he made on a bigger body and caused a mis-match.
