Don't say "a little bit of both" on this one......pick the one that you think contributes the most to the fact that everyone has amazingly high FG% against us. |

Haha........anyone who says it isn't horrible defense is guilty of at least one of the following things: 1. Complete homer 2. Hasn't watched the games 3. Has no basic understanding of defense |

It was bad defense, but you also have to consider that OSU is a defensive matchup nightmare for a team without a legit big. |

didn't you read the instructions on this thread....a little of both isn't an acceptable answer. If it only happened once or twice, then you could run with that....but for 3 years, everyone has had a field day on us......sorry Btown |

it's hard to shoot 80% in practice with no one guarding you. that's hot shooting regardless of defense. |

OSU shot 60 percent, not 80. OSU has some pretty good 3 point shooters, so its not surprising to see them making a high percentage......cause it was just like a shootaround. |

Bad defense...leaving diebler wide open...you need to be more aware than that. But I've watched OSU multiple times this season as my roomie is a diehard fan, and Buford going 5 for 7 from three, open or not is just stupid. There is a reason he is shooting 33% from downtown this year..he's just not a great shooter. If Oladipo was wide open all game and hit 5 of 7 we'd say he was hot that day...and he came in shooting 40% from 3, though he does not take many. |

btw, OSU shot 70% from three. In shoot around if you hit 7/10 that's pretty damn hot. |

The guy picked last in gym class

I see your black and white thinking has now made it over to the sports board. In case nobody noticeed, Elston, Pritchard, and Capo played a total of 24 minutes and committed 12 fouls. We committed thirty fouls. So going man would have done exactly what? We needed quicker rotations on the zone. Going man would have done nothing but left us with a couple of guys on the floor at the end. Creek is killing us on rotations. |

Creek isn't the only one killing IU on defensive rotations. If a team is killing you from 3, you force them to beat you down low. Instead of fronting a guy who is taller and more athletic, which makes it easy to throw the lob, play behind him and force him to keep making shots all game. Fronting post players also puts you in a poor rebounding position if one of the guards takes an open shot. Who cares if Sullinger goes for 35. You are keeping OSU from hitting 3s which deflates your crowd and can blow open the game quickly. It also throws all of their guards out of a rhythm because they aren't getting many scoring opportunities.....which can cause certain players to try to force things a little. Sullinger took 6 official shots and 12 free throws which means he basically took 12 shots all game. Not all of the fouls on the bigs were a result of low post defense. There were some loose ball fouls and illegal screens that added to that total.....and Pritchard stupidly hedged a guy 30 feet from the basket and was called for blocking. |

you must have missed the part where we played him from the back. basically, IU has no post option which makes you unbalanced. An all-american like Sullinger will make you pay every time. and i mean EVERY time. |
