IU BBall - Kentucky - The Day After

A couple of articles today with some interesting things in them.

Wright's effort can't save IU, Position change, 31 points aren't enough in loss - Indy Star

So Bracey was running the point? Is that what you call that? I thought it was just him taking a shot everytime he touched the ball. I guess if you don't have an offense, putting the ball in Bracey's hands and telling him to go for 30 every night is better than nothing.

Personally I would like my point guard to have more than 1 assist... but what do I know about Basketball.

Four plays reveal the truth about Cats and Hoosiers - Rick Bozich, Louisville Courier-Journal

This is a must read... a journalist who watched 2 teams and saw the differences. And he didn't see youth or missed shots.

Teams can have good shooting nights and bad shooting nights. They cannot have good shooting seasons and bad shooting seasons. Kentucky shoots good shots. Indiana does not. Tubby Smith has figured it out. Mike Davis needs to.

Ding, ding, ding... we have a Winner!

Davis empties bench with little success in loss to Kentucky - Steve Warden, Journal Gazette

This was to be the strategy from the beginning of the Indiana-Kentucky game Saturday: throw as many player combinations as possible at the Wildcats and see which would stick. Roll the dice. Spin the wheel. Put $2 on the long shot’s nose and hope for the best.

Interesting perspective... sad that IU is in that position.
