Illustrated domcom basketball postgame
0:05
wrap-up show John Alden and Kyler Staley
0:08
here with you as Indiana gets the
0:10
87-71 victory at home in Simon Scott
0:13
Assembly Hall and uh Kyler I guess I to
0:16
start with this probably the most
0:18
complete performance we've seen not
0:20
perfect but we saw some improvement from
0:22
the guard position uh some really good
0:24
defense especially in the first half
0:26
things got a little more chippy and you
0:28
know kind of sloppy as the game was
0:30
heading towards the end but overall I
0:32
think u a step forward in the right
0:34
direction for the Indiana basketball
0:35
team yeah not not a perfect product I
0:38
want to get that out of the way not a
0:39
perfect product but man this is
0:42
probably the best that I've seen Indiana
0:45
basketball play in maybe two years I I I
0:47
mean that may be a stretch I'm probably
0:49
forgetting a game or two you know last
0:51
year but man um Indiana came to play
0:54
today they they really did the energy
0:56
level was Lighty years better than what
0:58
it was last game um it wasn't a complete
1:01
40 minutes performance but I would say
1:03
maybe for 35 minutes 34 minutes this
1:06
team came to play you talked about the
1:08
defensive end it started there and you
1:10
looked at the guards the perimeter
1:12
defense little bit the perimeter defense
1:15
three-point shooting defense not great
1:17
but just like the on ball defense from
1:19
Miles rice Kanan carile Trey Galloway
1:22
those guys just spectacular and Miles
1:24
rise welcome to being an Indiana hooer
1:27
honestly because 20 17 points at
1:30
halftime finished with 23 points seven
1:32
of 10 shooting three three for four from
1:35
behind the arc just spectacular and
1:37
that's not even including the three
1:38
assists and four rebounds that he had as
1:40
well just great and that's exactly what
1:42
you wanted to see out of him Kon Carl's
1:45
offense finally click today that was big
1:47
to see so 12 points he finished on five
1:49
of nine shooting and then speaking of
1:51
shooting eight of 17 from three 8 or was
1:55
that 42 47% you you'll take that any day
1:57
of the week and then the stat that you
1:59
really love to see Indiana had 33 free
2:03
throw attempts made 27 of them 82% he
2:06
loveded that so it was a great
2:08
performance there was some lack ofical
2:10
parts during the game you got give South
2:12
Carolina a lot of credit we we talked
2:14
about it when I was on your show the
2:15
athleticism was going to be a factor
2:17
here with South Carolina they definitely
2:18
got some athletes on there they did they
2:20
did an okay job of getting some shots up
2:22
but Indiana took care of business and
2:24
that's the only thing that matters
2:26
overall I think this is going to be the
2:28
style of game that we'll see Indiana
2:31
thrive in most often when it comes to
2:33
this season uh they're not ever going to
2:35
Chuck up a bunch of Threes let's go and
2:36
get that out of the out of the uh the
2:38
way they did throw shoot 17 today they
2:40
were eight of 17 47% I think that is
2:43
kind of around the ideal Mark that
2:46
you'll want to see a Mike Woodson
2:48
coached Indiana basketball team because
2:50
they're always going to rely on the
2:50
paint as we talked about time and time
2:52
again but to see them just kind of be
2:55
really very balanced offensively
2:57
altogether and you never know when
2:58
you're going to get the performance like
3:00
miles Rice gave today or what McKenzie
3:02
and Bako did in the first two games I'm
3:03
sure you're going to have your fair
3:04
share of Umar balow games where he's the
3:06
dominant guy on offense I think finding
3:10
that balance each and every game no
3:12
matter who the opponent is I think
3:14
that's where we're going to see the
3:16
successful games for this basketball
3:18
team this season if that makes sense
3:20
hopefully that did yeah and balance is
3:22
the key word when it comes to this
3:23
Indiana team they're balancing pretty
3:25
much every single area of the floor and
3:27
then you talked about McKenzie and Bako
3:29
okay yeah he didn't have the games that
3:31
he had the first two games but he
3:32
finished with 17 points still
3:34
spectacular went one of two from three
3:36
so um you know the front Court you
3:38
talked about Omar ballow finished with
3:40
seven points but it's not really the
3:41
points the offensive um outing that he
3:45
had it's what he did when it comes to
3:46
the glass 13 rebounds was spectacular m
3:49
l renew finished with 13 points did get
3:51
in foul trouble you know M I would say
3:54
past the middle of the second half
3:55
somewhere around there so you know
3:57
that's something to definitely watch for
3:58
if it's going to be consistent or not
3:59
for him but um overall I mean the
4:01
starting unit played great Trey Galloway
4:04
came off the bench did his thing and
4:06
really it was just kind of those six I
4:07
would throw in Bryson Tucker as well he
4:09
didn't really have anything that really
4:10
you know wowed you or anything like that
4:12
but he went out there and played his
4:13
game little little bit concerning with
4:16
the Luke goody not concerning longterm
4:18
but you would hope that he would hit
4:20
these you know these shots you know in a
4:22
type of game like this but I mean
4:24
overall I mean balance is the key word
4:26
you mentioned it and that's exactly what
4:28
Indiana showed today and I don't want to
4:30
speak for for Luke goody of course I
4:31
would never want to do that but at this
4:33
point it's probably something that's a
4:34
mental thing for him he just needs to
4:36
see a few go down and eventually that he
4:39
won't have to think about it anymore
4:40
he'll just come back to him naturally
4:41
and but again though like we mentioned
4:43
when you have this many weapons and many
4:46
of them are having the nights that they
4:48
are having you're not going to rely
4:50
necessarily on somebody like a l goody
4:52
luk goody excuse me to come in and I
4:55
mean you always wanted to make shots but
4:56
it's not going to always be the
4:58
necessity that maybe some people think
5:00
it would be so um Indiana's got one more
5:03
tuneup game before they head to the
5:04
Bahamas of course with UNC Greensboro
5:07
and uh of course you want to see them
5:08
continue to build off what they did
5:10
today uh you don't want to take that day
5:12
off that you know that game off right
5:14
you want to continue to see Improvement
5:16
as you get towards probably the most
5:17
important stretch uh not of the season
5:20
of course but of the non-conference and
5:21
when it comes to perception of your team
5:23
nationally uh and so moving forward as
5:26
you know there is a lot of uh days
5:28
between now and next game against
5:30
Greensboro but you do want to see them
5:32
continue to make strides towards
5:34
Improvement for the rest of the season
5:36
yeah definitely and I I don't think Mike
5:38
Woodson will do this I mean he does a
5:40
good job of uh kind of like Signet in
5:41
away he doesn't get ahead of himself he
5:43
looks at one game at a time you know
5:45
build off the momentum that you had
5:46
today I mean you played with great
5:47
Energy Indiana played with great energy
5:49
a lot better energy than what the
5:51
Eastern Illinois game was continue off
5:53
of that energy and just you know get the
5:54
fans engaged and I thought the Assembly
5:56
Hall crowd was really good today you go
5:58
into unb UNCC Greensboro don't overlook
6:01
them play your game take care of a
6:03
weaker opponent um and then just get
6:06
stay healthy and and stay calm and relax
6:08
and stuff and then get ready for battle
6:10
for Atlanta which is going to be a three
6:12
g a three-day stretch three big
6:14
important games that really will Define
6:16
your non-conference schedule in a lot of
6:18
ways so um it's important for Indiana to
6:21
guys stay healthy I'm curious to see if
6:23
you'll see jakai Newton Anthony leil
6:25
back it sounds like Anthony Le's kind of
6:26
trending towards the right direction of
6:28
coming back jakai Newton I think he had
6:30
tweaked his hamstring so you want to see
6:31
if those guys are going to be available
6:32
for next game but um overall I mean you
6:35
saw the depth that Indiana had and
6:37
honestly Mike wilon didn't really have
6:38
to go too far in his bench at all today
6:40
but um the balance the depth that
6:42
Indiana had I think ultimately is what
6:44
really um really caused trouble for
6:47
South Carolina and like I said you got
6:49
to give them credit because they came in
6:50
here and competed um it looked a lot of
6:52
times where Indiana might win this game
6:54
by 20 plus points with South Carolina
6:55
just kept playing and playing and
6:56
playing so um you got to give a lot of
6:59
credit for indana for just fighting
7:00
through that kind of adversity today one
7:03
thing we haven't mentioned you have
7:04
mentioned Kanan Carlile and kind of the
7:05
Breakout game that he's had but how
7:07
about that alleyoop that ended up being
7:10
a a three-point make from nearly 30 feet
7:13
out that was without a doubt kind of the
7:14
I mean that's going to be Sports Center
7:16
top 10 then not that I mean I know
7:18
Sports Center top 10 stuff is not you
7:20
know the the Accolade that maybe it used
7:22
to be but it's still cool to to know
7:24
that that's kind of the play that went
7:25
down he it was just a day for him right
7:27
a good day for him yeah he missed the
7:29
pass so bad that it went in I mean that
7:31
was spectacular like the funny thing is
7:34
when it happened like I really didn't
7:36
like from my vantage point I really
7:38
didn't think it went in I was just like
7:39
oh it hit the rim or bottom of the rim
7:41
or whatever and then you look at the
7:43
bench I mean that's just my favorite
7:45
part of the bench was like that's crazy
7:47
that McKenzie and bako started laughing
7:49
it's just a funny event so when it's
7:51
your day it's your day honestly you got
7:52
to give it for Kanan Carlile but on a
7:54
serious note it was really nice to see
7:57
Kanan carle's offense come through um I
7:59
talked about it if his role is going to
8:01
be you know your best defender your best
8:03
guard Defender um that's great but I
8:05
mean the offense really came together
8:07
for him today and he he was making some
8:09
shots so that's really really
8:10
encouraging if you look at the Indiana
8:12
back court anything specific that stands
8:14
out to you that you'd like to see them
8:17
clean up a little bit in this next game
8:19
before they head down to the battle for
8:20
atlantas yeah I mean I guess two things
8:23
one I mean so I mentioned at the
8:26
beginning like you know I would say
8:27
Indiana played maybe 35 five complete
8:30
minutes then play a full 40 minute game
8:32
but I I just want to see them continue
8:34
to build that you know don't limit your
8:36
mistakes and like today they only had
8:38
seven turnovers I want to see them keep
8:39
that kind of range if they can have 10
8:41
10 or below turnovers that's a really
8:43
dangerous team um I want to look at that
8:46
but I will say South Carolina did a
8:48
really good job of getting some
8:49
three-point shots up I I think they
8:51
attempted 29 shots so Indiana's got to
8:53
do a better job of limiting those
8:55
attempts because better shooting teams
8:57
will take advantage of that and that
8:58
could really really hurt Indiana's um
9:01
defense when it comes to that so other
9:03
than that I mean just continue the
9:04
momentum build off of it don't play down
9:07
to a weaker opponent when You Face UNC
9:09
Greensboro and just get ready for battle
9:11
for atlantas where you can go in and
9:13
really change I don't want to say change
9:15
the trajectory of your season but start
9:17
opening up a lot more people's eyes
9:19
because you saw today this team's very
9:21
very talented and they have a lot of
9:22
potential in them in a day where Indiana
9:25
football was off Indiana basketball once
9:27
again had the spotlight today they end
9:29
up coming away with the win 887 to 71
9:32
against the Gamecock and they'll be back
9:34
in Action is it this Thursday Kyle I
9:35
