So a 8 point loss is better than losing by 10(they capped the margin at 10 so blowing out or getting blown out doesn't help or hurt you much. I guess you do have to consider that as a coach now but Buzz probably just should have kept his mouth shut. Go Hoosiers!!! Funny part is with updated NET rankings IU gains another quad 1 win for winning at Penn St. So in this rare instance. I agree with NET rankings.

Not enough for Buzz to coach around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 In addition to MSU likely going down, Marquette is getting curb=stomped at home by St. Johns. Bad night for IU's resume'. I sure hope Central Arkansas wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1972iu Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Haven't been watching Marquette...but Howard can go off at any point, so I wouldn't count them out just yet. It's 9 pts with just under 12 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked Marquette still has 12 minutes to go but even if they lose a win vs Nova at home on Saturday will balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Don't think I want to here the BS about how IU should just curb stomp UI anymore. The BIG is just HUGE this year and any win is a BIG win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny was when Purdue beat them everyone said it wasn’t impressive but then we did then it was a premier win for Archie...now Illinois has and I think it’s clear to see MSU has some serious flaws....ones we usually see in first or second rd of NCAAs past few years. They really miss Langford’s presence in that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Does it seem like after every significant win we've had this year, that team proceeded to suck for its next few games? Maybe when we beat teams, we infect them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sparty will eventually get things turned around and our win and hopefully sweep of them this year will be impressive. With that said...24 turnovers to Illinois? 15 more shots and still lose? Izzo gets ton of credit (rightfully so with his resume) but his teams haven't been to second weekend of tourney since 2015. How long is enough time to say a trend is reality? I always dismissed the first 3-4 early exits in tourney towards end of Bob Knight career at IU as no big deal, bad draw, injuries,etc....looking back it was obviously something deeper. Maybe this way for Izzo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this way for Izzo? At the very least I would like the the leeway given to coaches of teams that go on losing streaks after an injury (Izzo and Miles) be given to Miller...There were points of the losing streak where we were without five of our top ten players and somehow that wasn't as big a deal as Copeland going down for Nebraska or Langford for MSU? Maybe we got used to the idea that injuries were a problem for IU and got tired of hearing about it, but it didn't stop being true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately a large % of our fan base remembers a time where we would lose players and didn't matter. Those times are long gone for many just not in our fan base.

milehiiu Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 "They're just the guys we knew they were"....... Michigan State. Amazing how one team (MSU) goes into the tank after losing just one player, while another team (IU) struggles with multiple players out. What IF..... IU had just one player go down during our January stretch ? I guess things would have been completely different, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
