I honestly think it was more than that. I was at the game. It happened right in front of me.. looked to be Groin/Hip area that was in pain. He was really uncomfortable after that. Hope a few days rest is all that’s needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking they would offer close to 100 million to get them to join. Didn't we pay Nebraska 60 million. It might be less since ACC already has their other sports but ND could make a huge pay day if they wanted...or continue to operate as is until they decide it's in their best interest. As long as ND can continue to remain in the playoff system without needing a conference championship etc they don't need the ACC so much. ACC needs them more...with Clemson having no competition and the threat of not sending any team to the playoffs if Clemson even loses 1 game. ND would bring relevance to the schedule. If ACC gets strong again with say Virginia Tech and Miami making it back to relevance again the story might change. Thing is...the landscape changes so much...Notre Dame could go back to 8-9 win seasons for a decade or Clemson fall off or the playoffs expand everything goes out the window. That uncertainty brings us back to the status quo...and unlikely to see a change on either side. IMO ND could easily keep its out of conference rival USC on it's schedule and the NAVY game. I don't see Stanford as rivalry game and I doubt the fans do either. BC would be a much bigger rivalry game for ND. Schedule doesn't matter it can be made to work...it's the money as with everything! A lot of good common sense in what you’re conveying. Take your mind off of the money for just a second here. ND has set it up to play Stanford every year because it then gives them California every year, which is norther cal. One year and southern cal. The next. They always move the Navy away games around the country(sometimes international) every other year. Point is, ND wants to be in key recruiting areas as much a possible while also dealing with scheduling constraints. People overlook how important that is to ND and their alumni, and the very fact that certain higher ups over the years have pointed to what joining the Big Ten would do over time as far as regionalizing them. i can’t stand the thought of Rutgers in the Big Ten and see it as a crap addition other than the academic side of the equation, and yes, ND would be a great fit for the Big Ten, but ND is not in the business of looking out for what is best for the Big Ten, they’re looking out for themselves and 20-50 years down the road. ND’s endowment is massive, and many of the coaching positions in various sports are endowed positions now, so ND is not looking to make 54 mil by joining the B10 while giving up their independence in football until it is absolutely necessary.

Scott. In terms of Butler..... I was going by what another member posted. Was too lazy to check it out for myself. And yes, Chicago is not D1.

I said the reason that Butler could not join was because of football but should have said they did have a team but it is not a D1 level. That is also probably the reason it would be hard for Gonzaga to go to the Pac 10 or Mountain West conference because of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JugRox Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Rutgers is very physical.....but they foul....a lot. And IU draws a lot of fouls. IU gets to the line close to 20 times, they win a close one. Must attack the basket. Can’t have 18 3 point attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always kills me to watch Indiana teams that cannot shoot free throws. I don't know why it bothers me, but something ingrained in my Indiana upbringing says you should hit free throws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergates Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Stats aren't giving us much of a chance (31-37%), but Baker being out is a big deal. Depends on what IU team shows up. Given that we haven't shown anything positive on the road (counting UConn as neutral site), I think we lose a close one 69-66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it bothers me, but something ingrained in my Indiana upbringing says you should hit free throws As a team IU is 68% on the season, but it is pulled down by four players. Davis is 42%. Should be better, but probably all he'll be. Only 5% of attempts. Brunk is 55%. Like DeRon, he's a veteran big man without great mechanics. Unlikely to improve much. 8% of attempts. But both JS and DG should be better than 63-65%. I think that comes down to focus and concentration. Combine for 25% of attempts. Only other player below 70% is Franklin at 64%, but I expect him to improve. Durham was 1-4 and RP was 0-2 against OSU, which were outliers. Most of the poor shooting is concentrated in the older players. I Expect the team average to improve next year and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the ACC is an Atlantic coast conference and those teams should be from that region. Rutgers and Miami are both in states that have an Atlantic coast. That's actually farther than State College to Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Really hard to win on the road in the BIG this year. Until we know if Rob is good to go I just have to go with the stats and say we lose a close one: IU:67 RU:70 Definitely prefer to be wrong on this and see IU win, just so hard to win on the road and we don’t have enough true road games to gauge. But I just keeping having flashes of Wisconsin in my head unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a freshman but talented OSU plays the wrong offense for Carton. He was easily the fastest player out there Saturday but OSU doesn’t push the ball. Carton can get around anyone, but when he gets to the lane, there are multiple OSU players in there clogging the lane. OSU is in must win mode. Be interesting to see where they are when we go to Columbus in early February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 This next six game stretch is so difficult and challenging, and only gets more difficult if IU doesn't find a way to at least split these next two road games (@Rut & @Neb). I understand the road is really, really hard to get wins in the Big Ten, but you just have to find a way to split or even win these next two. Ultimately, every win counts and beating the top tier teams in the conference is great, but the real separation is going to be in performing well against the teams like Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern, Iowa, Penn State, Minnesota, Purdue etc. You need to beat those teams at home and split the road games against them. Rutgers has been really good this year and extremely tough to beat at home, but this is the type of game that 'old Indiana' would win, but current Indiana (the last 4-6 years) seems to always not show up for. I'll be looking more at the effort, intensity and passion as opposed to actual numbers, system, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutgers is extremely good this season at home and, well, 11-0 at home. Like you I'll be hoping to see the kind of intensity and attacking play we saw against OSU -- but it also depends on a healthy Rob. So much depends on a healthy Rob, lol.

13th&Jackson Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Being optimistic and assuming IU is an NCAAT team and not an NIT team, this will be the last time DG plays in the NYC area. Hopefully we get "senior playing last game" DG and not "look what I can do" DG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
