I never knew you had such a good reason for your divorces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT this roster seems better. When there’s a substitution Instead of losing confidence I instead find myself feeling excited to see the new guy play! We were going to be really good last year. There is this injury thing thst everyone seems to forget thst completely de railed the season. Still was 1 win away from the tourney we will be top 25 all year this year IF we stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College basketball rankings: Michigan State falls out of Top 25 And 1 after loss to Duke - CBSSports.com If you believe that poll (I have some doubts reading through it, but I think IU has earned a spot in the top 25), IU would finish 4th in the Big Ten, a far cry from where all the pre-season "experts" placed them. ...and Dayton at #9...how about that? Haven't missed a beat since Archie left. That's the sign of a good coaching tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't missed a beat since Archie left. That's the sign of a good coaching tree. Well, at least a sign of an administration hiring competent coaches. Anthony Grant doesn't have any ties to Archie, but he's always been a pretty good coach. Dayton is a good place for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, happy to see Dayton doing well even after they lost he best coach they ever had. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant brought his own staff. One of Archie's assistants went to Davidson, one went to Syracuse, and....damn, where'd that Ostrom guy end up? Also, slight correction....Grant didn't have any connection to Archie, but he does have a slight connection to Dayton.....he just played there for four years. Oops on my part as well.

Hoosierhoopster Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 4 hours ago, BGleas said: Along with the road test, I think the other test will be whether IU can generate enough offense to win in close games against really good teams when we're not getting the whistles we have been getting. Is the offense efficient enough to win a game at Wisconsin if we don't shoot 10+ more free throws than the other team? I would be pretty surprised if we shoot our average of 29ish free throws on Saturday. Can we still win if that number is closer to 15-18? Or 4 to 5? Wisconsin refs always hose us, hate to sound like an excuse maker but the 'officiating' there is inane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think he works better with a partner. He and Buck can be hilarious at times during football games. My favorite thing about Fischer is when the other team makes an unlikely play (ala the 3rd and long when Purdue caught that deflected pass for a first down in OT) or hits a throw in 3 (I remember a banker in 3 by a big man against Maryland last year) and he is sooo exasperated. He is hilarious. I mean I hate it too...but it just does a great job explaining how crazy stuff like that is by his comments lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Hightower just came out of retirement for this game only and Valentine was just rehired by the B1G. We can't possibly lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
