I thought I'd add a little to the preview for the Indiana game tonight. I've worked on five Indiana telecasts this year (and will have the Ohio St. game Friday night) and can share some observations.
- The team is a bad shooting team. They shoot around 30% from three point range and will still fire up a bunch every game. If they hit north of 40%, they are a pretty tough team to beat.
- They struggle to score. Morgan is a very good player. He can hit the occasional three and beat you inside, but he isn't a bulky guy. He plays with an insane motor and gets offensive rebounds.
- Johnson is a streak shooter, but doesn't offer much else.
- Green is developing quickly. He is their X-factor. When he plays well and shoots it well, they are a different team.
- McRoberts is their lunchpail guy. He is a good defender and gives ridiculous effort.
- The rest of the team is really unremarkable. Newkirk and Hartman have been MIA most of the year, McSwain will play hard, but lacks skill and Durham will be good eventually, but makes a lot of freshman mistakes and can't shoot the 3
I have watched this team improve a lot. I really like Miller as a coach. They play really hard and defend. They really crash the glass.
We are more talented than they are and should win the game. They are not a good road team, but are the kind of team that if you don't show up, will keep it close with a chance to win because of their effort.
