2019-2020 B1G Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

I watched some of IU against North Alabama and don't know what to think. Their guard play still needs to get more consistent. Jerome Hunter might be a legit threat from outside for them, wasn't sure how long it would take for him to knock the cake of rust off. If he and Damezi Anderson can both shoot like that at their size on the court together, that is going to be a challenge for opposing defenses. And, as expected, Trayce Jackson-Davis is very much a problem.

They have a lot of nice pieces in theory, and in the second half they certainly looked the part of a balanced offensive attack, but against an overmatched opponent. I definitely have some question marks about their defense and overall intensity level--which isn't what you'd question about Archie Miller's teams at UD. His IU teams have yet to get that chip on their shoulder. Maybe once this Hoosiers team starts playing some better opponents we will see more of that.
