November 25, 200718 yr No. X won the 2nd half by 4...You know what I meant, it was pretty evenly played the whole 2nd half. Take away the 13-0 run when Thomas and Gordon were out and it s a 2 point game .
November 25, 200718 yr That was also with the preface that Bassett (who you called "one of the most underrated G's in the country.") was questionable. He played 35 minutes in the loss...Which explains why someone who was 12-16 from 3 before this game was 0-8. Bad ankles do that. He is hurt and would never have played that much without Gordon, Stemler, and Thomas in foul trouble.
November 25, 200718 yr Author Too bad you can't take away the silly fouls that landed them on the pine. If if's and but's were candy and nuts..............
November 25, 200718 yr X wins 7 of 10 against IU on a neutral court IMO. Lastly, it is the first IU game I've seen. I chose to wait until they came up against a team that had a little bit of talent so I could get a decent read. IU played a terrible game. Good game to judge on. If I based UK solely on the Garnder Webb game I could say the same thing about those two teams but that would be very ignorant.
November 25, 200718 yr Too bad you can't take away the silly fouls that landed them on the pine. If if's and but's were candy and nuts.............. I'm not saying you should, I'm saying it's a bad game to pass judgement on. IU lost, plain and simple. Unlike some other people on here, one game isn't going to make me overreact. X is not great but they are very solid, I said that all along.
November 25, 200718 yr IU played a terrible game. Good game to judge on. If I based UK solely on the Garnder Webb game I could say the same thing about those two teams but that would be very ignorant. Basing UK's potential season on a game like GW vs basing where IU is now and where they can end up against a quality team like XU is not the same. I won't pass judgment on UK until they play UNC and UL. The other games are irrelevant. IU played terribly because XU forced them into it and put pressure on them on both ends of the floor unlike what their prior opponents did nor could do. If I'm an IU fan, I look at this game moreso than any of the others to see where my team is and where they might be able to go. They were exposed a bit against a quality team. Re: the big boy(Oliver Miller Lite) - can help if he doesn't make stupid fouls and if he can control his emotions. Early in the game, I noticed him reacting to a fan which is never a good sign considering he's going to be going into West Lafayette, Lansing, etc.

November 26, 200718 yr Watched this on the Big 10 network. Nice win for X. Very nice win. This should help them come March time and seedings.
November 26, 200718 yr So if UNC just man handles UK I would be wise to make a judgement on the whole season based on one game? No. It will certainly give one a better idea of how a team will do this year than the silly stat-building games teams play early in their schedule.

November 27, 200718 yr Here's a big reason why IU fared poorly: Player Made FGs vs Attempts Bassett 4 13 Ellis 5 12 Gordon 4 12 DJ White 7 9 Am I the only one that sees the problem?
