Some other interesting results last night

Indiana vs. Notre Dame in Hawaii-
Notre Dame ran out to an early 20 pt lead and clobbered the Hoosiers.
Matt Roth started but was very ineffective against Notre Dame's defense.
He forced up 3 three-pointers from well beyond the arc and missed them all and went 0-3 and didn't play much in the 2nd half, totalling just 13 minutes.
Notre Dame was 10-26 from 3-pt, while Indiana was 1-12.

Florida loses to Syracuse & UMass also loses....all losses that hurt the Valley RPI

Indiana vs. Notre Dame in Hawaii-
Notre Dame ran out to an early 20 pt lead and clobbered the Hoosiers in the first real game against a non-pretender DI opponent.
Matt Roth started but was very ineffective against Notre Dame's defense. He forced up 3 three-pointers from 6 ft beyond the arc (the new one!) and missed them all and went 0-3 and didn't play much in the 2nd half, totalling just 13 minutes.
Notre Dame was 10-26 from 3-pt, while Indiana was 1-12.

The college game is very different than the HS game Mr Roth!

Matt Roth is overmatched at the DI level. He's not Big 10, or even MVC material.

He's only a Freshman! Not to many first year players can make an impact at this level. If you said MR is not NBA material I'd believe it but otherwise give him time to grow and make the adjustment. I'm not a MR fan just being a realist. IMO we need a MR like shooter for that last scholarship.

He's not athletic enough to compete at the Big 10 level, and I question whether he is athletic enough to compete at the MVC level. Athleticism isn't something you gain with experience, you either have it or you don't. Yes, we need a shooter on this roster, but Roth wouldn't be what I had in mind. He's not athletic enough to be able to get his shot off against DI defenders. A Jeremy Crouch-type is what this team sorely needs. Unfortunately, the JC-type players we went after last year ended up at Michigan and Purdue.

wait a minute...Bradley plays a bad game and the players get trashed...
Indiana plays a bad game and now we have to go easy on their players?

Nope! Indiana sucks and they're gonna hear about it.

I like Matt Roth and I would have loved to have seen him at Bradley!
But we all know IU has MORE people coming in than they have scholarships available for, so someone is going to go after this season.

It really has to be difficult to know you are being recruited over and that you are having to play every game as a freshman in hopes of retaining your scholorship for next year let alone 3 more years.

I have a feeling ISU will eventually get themselves a nice transfer.

You may be right here but I think the jury is still out. Roth is not ever going to take over a game and will only be effective if he has good players around him. Let's see what happpens the next few years.

Matt Roth's stats after 3 games, two of which were vs. pretty soft opponents

3 games, 18.7 mpg, 6-18 (33.3%), 5-16 (31.3%) from 3-pt, 4-4 on FT, 7.0 ppg, 1.7 rpg, zero assists.
Actually, the 31.3% from 3-pt range is the best on the team, and as a team IU is shooting 25.0% from beyond the arc.
He is the only scholarship player who is playing more than 6 mpg and the only scholarship guard who does not have an assist.


IU is tipping of vs. St. Joe's right now
