Reacher Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hard to believe TJD was the only IU player that shot better than 50 % tonight. Only 10 turnovers and 5 blocks were also big keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone know what TDJ brings but no one Knows what DG is going to bring! He is the KEY But we don't need him to go off. We need him to take care of the basketball, hit some shots and play good defense like he did tonight. Going off is a bonus, if he does this every night we can not only make the tournament but win a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win these last 3 home games and we’re an absolute lock. 20 wins and 10-10 in league play and we are in for sure. I’m with ya. Finish out with 3 home wins and we’re a lock.

Jackson Kellogs Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 17-9.. crazy to think that if we hang on against Maryland and Arkansas at home.. both games we were winning and blew at the end, we would be 19-7 right now. Hell if we showed up against Purdue, 20-6.. this team in some aspect is close but has struggled getting over the top. Hopefully this win tonight carries over into their play on Sunday. It’ll be nice only being 2 games away from 20 if we can win.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornHoosier Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 It’s a simple formula to make the field of 68 and that is to protect the HALL! You Rankem, We Spankem MUST be in full effect Sunday vs a top 15 team and no letdowns vs 2 unranked teams! Didn’t think it was possible but our tourney fate is in our hands with 3 home games. The Hall should be louder than ever before as HSN has never been hungrier for postseason. HUGE games start Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU needs Green to play good D, not turn the ball over and over dribble it, reverse it quickly when he’s not open, and make most of his shot attempts open spot-ups off of ball reversals and post kick-outs. It’s when he’s taking contested 3’s, a lot of jumpers off the dribble and making careless passes that he kills things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Kellogs Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I can’t even put into words how bad I want to hear our name called on Selection Sunday.. these guys need to realize how close they are and fight like hell to make it happen. We’re still in good shape down the stretch here and when this team plays the right way they’re pretty good. Just want Indiana in a bracket so damn bad!!

FKIM01 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 HUGE HUGE win tonight. I'm going to sit down and watch the whole game as I just saw bits and pieces while I was working on taxes this evening (guy in the office next to me had the game on so I peeked a few times). A couple of things I saw and liked... A lot more ball movement and more confident shooting (good mental frame and good energy) IU's guards often harassing Oturu by swiping at the ball when he was trying to back Trayce down in the paint...very effective. Minnesota literally conceding the game with 90 seconds to go by not fouling. Another in a long list of exhibits of just how bad a coach little ricky is. I'll be shocked if he survives to see next season. Hands down, the worst coach in the Big Ten. I'll likely have more observations when I actually watch the whole game, but I'm very pleased to have been very wrong. The winning ingredients tonight were (1) A confident mentally well-prepared team, (2) high energy and sharp movement/passing and (3) a big coaching mismatch.

AMEN Kellogs, that’s why I’m hoping the fans that can make these last 3 games absolutely crush the Decibel record! I want a WatShot type atmosphere for ALL three home games & if we get that I will guarantee we don’t lose! It’s in your hands HSN to make it a home court ADV. LETS GO!!!

Brass Cannon Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 41 minutes ago, Danomatic said: The stretch where Archie had TJD, Race, Hunter, Durham and Phinisee on the floor... we actually ran an inside-out offense. They moved well without the ball and made solid decisions for the most part. They ATTACKED the post really well for most of the game, instead of settling on jumpers. Green forced a couple of shots early in the clock towards the end, but didn’t shoot us out of the game. The effort and energy was great tonight. This line up needs to be in for long stretches from here on out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March Madness is my favorite time of the year. When the Hoosiers are in the tournament it's that much better. Just win 3 more and it's a done deal. Really hoping to finish strong, but realize anything can happen with this group. Get TJD touches, Race more minutes, play hard, rebound , and take care of the ball and we should pick up some wins.

jblaz13 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Games like this make me glad I don't jump to conclusions about a team too soon for better or worse. Michigan had that same general effect. As did basically every game prior to this, and every game left will. They sure can't afford to rest on their laurels as they have appeared to do at times from game to game. I would be lying to say I haven't questioned whether this team could withstand another beating like the last game, but kids have to play together enough to know what the potential sum of the parts really, is. so you never know unless that is able to happen often enough. Some players help open up opportunities for others that aren't always apparent until a given line-up takes the floor at near or full strength. .Kind of stuck to that line of thinking throughout this rough start to Miller's tenure too. With so many high stakes games left, B1G stretch is going to be interesting.. Michigan and Ohio State have come to life all of a sudden. Some teams are slipping as well. One slip or one surge could result in a lot of movement in the standings short time, but likely going to be below Maryland at this point. .Sustained urgency has to come now or never about this time every year and post season seeds are in play even for teams comfortable with their resumes as a whole. Fun times if Indiana is one of the teams able to show a little more steadiness. Still just flashes unless/until the proverbial light stays on. Not over yet!

dbmhoosier Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Good win. Now take care of home court and we’re definitely in. TJD is definitely a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
