BDB Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Watching ISU/ TCU currently. How did Desmond Bane end up at TCU. Boy, he is exactly what this IU team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 College basketball is a crap shoot this year....honestly if we can get it together and make the tourney...who knows what can happen....that said making the tourney is anything but a certainty. Feels like we are missing an opportunity to have a special year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy1987 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Ol' Roy's Tarholes lost at home today to Ga Tech. That doesn't take the sting away from our beating but it did make me smile. We just might see them come NIT time if things don't change. I missed the game but just read UNC hit their 1st FG with just under 7 to go in the 1st. They were down 20 at the half. Roy was so pissed he put in 2 walkons at one point. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing actually. Carolina is 8-6 this year....and their loss yesterday was right after a 3 point win over Yale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 16 hours ago, IU Scott said: Watching the PSU and Iowa game and it was a very good game. PSU just won 89-86 but I was wondering why the game was played in Philly at the Palestra. The think is that was the best home court advantage that PSU has had in a long time. My guess would be because maybe when students are gone it's better to have a game in Philly once a year and during the break was the best chance? That combined with Franny Mac being a Penn alumni maybe it was a chance for them to play in Palestra and do a cool thing for him too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when students are there and the team is decent they struggle with attendance. I'd say the neutral site move was a pretty good idea. Go Hoosiers!!!

IU Scott Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 To me it looks like MSU has things turned around and will win the BT going away. They looked very good with this 87-69 win against UM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I remember how everyone was crowing Holtman, Mack and Howard as the next great coaches after great starts but they have al cae back down to earth.

Agree with you, there are some in this fan base that actually thinks it was bad that the 2002 team went to the championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we would be upset but I don’t think they would be calling for a coaching change. But yes our fan base can be irrational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have good pgs, post presence, shooting yet we don’t have a single guy that could beat a 6th grader in a game of horse but it’s Cam that cant coach and not those guys who have much more complete rosters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously I'd be pretty happy if we were ranked #12 or higher like they all are. None of them are dropping from the top 25 anytime soon even with this weeks losses. OSU and UofL made great hires with Holtman and Mack. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
