Well I am glad I didn't buy that app to watch the game.

Without a doubt, IU is going to go through some growing pains this year. Like you guys, I was shocked to see them get pummeled like they did on their home court last night. I'm curious how Archie approaches tomorrow's game versus Howard. Do you all think he dabbles with the starting lineup at all? RJ looked terrible yesterday.
On the bright side, the incoming class (if you also include Race Thompson) is going to be excellent and could be surreal if they land Garland and Langford. Very anxious to see how that goes on Monday afternoon. Keep hearing mixed signals on that recruitment. Garland is the real deal....that kid alone could completely change the performance on the court. And add in Romeo....wow.
Well, Rojo and Newkirk are the first ones I would bench. Damn, they are seniors, but they don't play like it. So yes, I think Archie will tweak the starting line-up.

Well another struggle. If they keep playing like this and can't figure things out then winning a road game this year will be a struggle. I figured this year would be a wash with Archie coming in with Crean's players, just didn't think they would struggle this much. Pretty sure the next game is at Seton Hall and they are ranked, should be a butt whooping. At this point I would get the Freshmen as much playing time as possible in preparation for next year. Also, not sure what Curtis Jones has done to get in Miller's doghouse, but his playing time has been almost nil. I thought he was the best freshman last year. I could see it being effort in practice tho!!!

All I know is that Archie better have them practicing FT's today!!!!!!!!!
He was the guy who I remembered being most disappointed in his lack of development last year. Or was that Green? At this point they're pretty much interchangeable and both likely to be in the dog house at any one time.
Yesterday didn't really bother me that much because shooting FT's are something that should be relatively fixable. If they make free throws, the game looks quite a bit different.
Really liked Al Durham's game yesterday.
