Which this year is a distinct possibility... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Xavier has 46 turnovers in 3 games vs. Fairfield, Montana, and Morgan St.... they've hit 7 3s a game over the 3 game span at a 46% clip. Pressure the ever loving S*** out of them!! The article I read, I think it would be a surprise if Colby plays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 My only concern (well, at least my big concern) is that Trayce and/or Race get into foul trouble early. Watched the Xavier Fairfield game this morning, and a lot of ticky tack calls were made underneath the basket, or the Xavier player jumped into a vertical defender and got the call. If we take care of the ball, and play good defense we should win this one going away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about top ranked teams coming into Bloomington, even when we are "bad" the other team will still only be a 2 or 3pt favorite. ESPN gives us a 50.5% chance to win, I think it's a fair amount higher than that. 60-65%... 3-4pts road favorite, imo, would signify that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Scott May quote! During the '76 32-0 season, Sports Illustrated did a cover story on IU basketball. It talked about the team's utter dominance. How the defense was so good, other teams gave up trying to score - they were just happy to complete a pass (a great line, btw). They interviewed players, all of whom kept it cool, as Knight would have wanted. No bragging, no assumptions about the next game. Then Scott May put a point on how strong the team was: "Actually, we are just blowing the doors off everyone."

I think TV (Xavier game) and arena availability dates ( Miami OH game) might have played some into this. I've seen the Friday/Sunday and Thursday/Saturday set up before but usually with two home games and no travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
