Hoosierfan1215 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Great win for the team. Love everyone’s contributions. The bench the last two games have been great. Durr looked so much better, and Galloway and Geronimo are doing what they are good at, and what we need them to to win. And I know he didn’t do much during, but watching TJD on the bench as I rewatched the game was great. You could tell he loves his teammates. Also just watched the post games. Lots of respect for painter for his analysis of questions after the game. Great coach. I love how Woodson and his players feel about eachother. That’s gotta have any potential recruit/parent considering iu to feel good about things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Muddy River Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not sure I've ever been happier for a kid, than I am for Rob tonight. Through it all, that kid has been nothing short of class, and even when his offensive game disappeared and he couldn't buy a shot, he always put in maximum effort on defense. Fans wanted him benched, saying he was what he was, and that Lander should get his minutes. Tonight, he beat our most hated rival, his hometown team, and the #4 team in the nation. When he missed the shot before the big shot, you could see it on his face, he wanted it again . It was a confidence not seen in him in a long time. So, to dust off an old award, the Memorial MileHiiu Gameball goes to Rob Phinisee. Congrts to X as well. Funny how the two most maligned players just led IU to their biggest win in a long time. Keep it rolling fellas. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 These guys did a great job making key plays at crunch time. Let’s hope it gives them confidence for these situations and now snowballs in a good way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I don't get all the "if _______doesn't happen, IU gets beat by a bunch" talk. Consider: If Trayce is anywhere close to his average... If Parker Steward hits anything... If Miller Kopp scores at all... If Race Thompson doesn't score a basket for Turdue... If IU hits free throws at a reasonable clip... If Trey Galloway spends a lot more time defending Ivey... ...IU wins by 30. Lots of positive and negative factors play into every win and loss. It's silly to pretend that IU was lucky to win due to a single positive outlier. Just like there were things that could have gone worse costing IU the game, there were plenty of things that could have gone a lot better greatly increasing IU's margin of victory. Every game is that way. There was no luck involved here...IU got some breaks and so did Turdue. In the end, IU finally played like they wanted to beat Turdue and did. That's all that matters. Next game will have a whole host of positive and negative factors as well. It's what happens when basketball is played. This was a well-deserved win. Period. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustout Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 May have been mentioned, but for TJD to come in cold, miss two free throws, and still makes arguably the two most important of his IU career to ice game. that’s a heckuva efficient way to contribute it 7 minutes or whatever he played! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Indykev Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I had a 10 min. convo with TJD this evening. He wasnt even going to play in the game earlier in the day because of the flu. He said he was feeling better before game time but still had to be shot up to numb his hip so he could go. New found respect for TJD because he didnt say a word about his bad game, just wanted to talk about how great his teammates played without him. 4 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't luck, I have said it a few times, when this team is on, their ceiling is as high as just about any team in the country. We have just had more mental lapses so our floor is a little lower than those top teams as well. This is a pretty darn good team. One other point, you watch Woodson and you can see why the guys seem to like him so much. Goes out and tells Rob P. before the game that if no one else is in his corner, his coach is. Goes to him twice for the shot to win the game. That kind of confidence in your guys can be infectious. When Woodson got the job, the NBA guys he coached mostly came out of the woodwork to say how cool he was. Kids are going to want to play for that guy and parents are going to want him guiding their kids. You add the Indiana ties and he is just a really good person to have at the top of this program in this moment. The biggest mistake the AD of IU has made in my opinion was not doing this hire years ago. Last night was fun. I let the kids stay up late to watch the game. They were laughing and having a good time about the court being stormed. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a game that much. It feels like we are turning a corner. I don't have National Title visions or anything, but the last 5 years are going to get further in the rearview. I believe kids are going to want to be a part of this. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fundamentals Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thrilled for Rob Phinisee. He absolutely deserved a game and moment like this. Highlights from the game for me: 1. Trey Galloway getting under Ivey’s skin (reminded me of Sheehey, Neil Reid, Recker) 2. The effort, 24 min, Big Mike gave in allowing IU to stay in the hunt with TJD on the bench 3. The confidence and ball care Rob and X had all game 4. Only 3 turnovers 5. AND, the effing day count by Purdue fans since the last time IU beat Purdue getting a swift kick to the nuts 6. LAST NIGHT IS WHY I LOVE IUBB 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I still have my “We’re Back” shirt from after the Wat Shot, should I wear it today? I couldn’t watch live, so I wasn’t posting during the game. I just finished reading all 21 pages of the game thread. We really do live and die with every play.

His years at IU have not produced the greatest teams in program history, but if he doesn't find his way into the Top 10 of every IU fan's 'Favorite IU Players' of all time, I would be surprised. If the program returns to elite status in the next 5-7 years, he will have had a lot to do with it because of the way he represented the candy stripes. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 9 hours ago, Purdue7 said: If Purdue played perimeter defense like you guys did I would be thrilled. You can see a huge difference between Archie defense and tonight We play the pick n roll better yesterday than you guys. Honestly…Williams just killed you guys…every time he came in we made a run. He never got his head into the game. You also will never miss that many free throws ever again either. With TJD out the whole game we played a totally different game…and perhaps you guys didn’t plan for that….it looked like you guys wanted to sag back into the lane and play passing lanes and give Rob and Xavier shots…just so happened they went down. Painter ran good sets out of time outs. Got you guys like 10 pts and the difference with TJD on that last drive by Ivy and the rest of the game was he couldn’t finish over him and effected his drive and shot. If we had Durr there on that play Ivy gets to the basket. Still took an unlikely 3 from Rob to win it for us…let’s just agree to play another thriller W or L in Mackey because that was a good game either way! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxnJxn Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 So much to like about this win, from Rob's performance to the small number of turnovers to the team learning to win without TJD, the bench performance, just an all around great job. I think this is what we've been salivating for since the first half of the Wisconsin game, and it's awesome to see the team put it all together against our biggest rival and a major thorn in our side. I'll admit, I was a little disappointed with the CMW hire (I was all in on the Stevens train), but I don't think we could ask for a better job to this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just TJD, but if we'd have known that between TJD, Stewart, and Kopp we'd get 6 points on 1 of 6 shooting, most of us would think we'd have gotten buried by 30... I'm as guilty as anyone on second guessing our coach, but he's proven to be not only a master psychologist, but pretty good at game planning and motivating these young men... I think I'll start giving him the benefit of the doubt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has it felt that way for us? Like the Iowa game. We basically stop their #1 player and his nobody brother comes out of nowhere and beats us. I guarantee the Purdue scouting report last night was not about stopping Rob and X. They may have said one is a difficult defender and the other you have to stop the drive, but you probably had to go several slots down the notes before you got to them. Trayce, Race, making sure Kopp and Stewart have to put it on floor.... It was nice to be in a position where the other team is asking where the heck that guy came from for once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
