I think he was good when athletically he wasn't worse then everyone else IU has, but now he is their most unathletic player and he just doesn't seem to fit in. And he was getting blown by easily by his man. I think he's pretty overrated.
Wisc is known for shutting down great three point shooters. He is shooting over 50% from behind the arc....the numbers speak for themselves. When the offense is going well and flowing he gets his open looks and knocks it down. When they face teams who bring as much attentio nto him like Wisc IU needs to find a way to take advantage of that with drives knowing his guy will not help.
IU didnt clamp down on their defense until late in the game. It was like they thought they could flip the switch and do it. The problem with that is that things have to go just right to win. The off balance shot that put Wisc up three was the dagger. He was well guarded, no one was open to pass to, and the shooter was in no position to shoot but did his best heave and pray...and it went in.
Early on ya could just see IU getting outhustled to some loose balls. Passing and rebounds bouncing off their hands, etc.
Hulls did sink two three pointers immediately after the whistle blew on some plays. He def has a place in this offense. With Zeller down low getting his looks, as well as WOfford, and Oladipo and Feller driving to the hoop I think that Hulls plays an important part on the team. Help and he is open for a 3, of which he hits over 50%, and dont help and a drive to the hoop.
Sheehee didnt come to play last night. Pretty athletic white dude but not a fan of his. Just seems a little selfish at times, and I cannot remember the game but I remember last year he got yanked for playing poorly and he just seemed to pout on the bench the rest of the game. I think he plays an important part as well though.
I think 2 points by the bench last night? That doesnt work.
