Too bad one had to lose.
There goes the 40-0 season.
Mason was insanely good. By contrast, Lucas looked to be laboring the whole game. Really good contributions from Svi and Vick. Josh is still raw, finding his way, but had his moments. Bragg also contributed, though we have to get more from him. (Somebody inside has to pick up the scoring we lost with Perry gone)
I'm more bummed that we lost simply because we now have to play Duke Tuesday with the threat of going 0-2 against elite teams right out of the gate. I told HawkErrant earlier today that my hope was a split. Well, that means we now have to beat Duke. Perhaps we could've tonight, assuming Duke can't shoot lights out all night like IU. That was a 3-point clinic. Ouch.
Oh well, onward and upward. Gotta beat Duke!
Travel safely, team...and somehow get some rest prior to Tuesday.

Why does it have to be KU that always seems to come up short in these games lately. Tough way to open up the season, rebounding and come on how does IU shoot 47% from the ARC.

What a game! Not a believer in moral victories, but games like that really come into play later in the season.
Really thought our defense was strong in the half court. Need to board better and fix some transition defense, but Need to give IU credit. They made so many tough shots from behind the arc.
Frank is unbelievable. Never quits. There cannot be many guards better in college basketball.
It was a loss, but I think this team can be special. Going to be a great year!

IU shot lights out but we got our butts beat in the boards. A lot of that was hustle and want, guys need to get hungy. Tough L to start the season. Duke looming so better get tough on the boards or going to be a tough start to the season.
