It's not a coaching issue. Rebounding is always an issue in the zone and this group just doesn't seem to "get it" no matter how much Matta hammers it into them. They just don't seem to be "aware" of what they need to be doing.

I'm about the fourth person to say this but bring Dallas in. He matches up best with White, we need him in there to help box out White.

Im sure I'm the minority position around here, but I think Diebler needs to shoot the ball more. Has anyone else noticed that once he misses a good look, he passes on his next several looks, tends to drive and make poor kicks, or make bad decisions in general? You think he had a second thought about shooting the ball last year? He needs to think less and realize that his role is to take shots.

We need more action going at the basket. Challenge White. He's not as amazing as he's been made to look in the first half.

For example: after Diebs hit the three above, he missed another shortly after. At 23-23 he passed on a few shots before making a bad pass from the left wing, no shot attempt for tOSU in the possession. IU gets the ball on the TO and Gordon hits a 3 over Diebler (coincidence here, not implying anything). We must at least get attempts on every possession.

Great defense by Kofous... rejection of White! Need to keep up that intensity on defense

[BUCKYLE]

KK WITH THE STUFF!

Quit yelling and get the damn ball!

[keeganbrick]

Here comes the intensity!

[leroyjenkins]

Much more aggressive on both ends of the floor and its showing! Keep it up!

gotta hit our limited free throw attempts..............

[EidoloN]

it seems to me that everytime we make a run, the whistle will blow for something, then it kills the run and indiana goes on a run...frusterating!!!!

[OCBucksFan]

White is just destroying us.

[bkochmc]

I wonder how many second chance points IU has... 2 more by White...

Good to see some scoring by the Bucks...
