Yet I spent the whole 2nd half pacing around the living room and here I am on the post game thread at 9:30. This is the life I've chosen. No looking back now!

That used to be how I was during every game, but the last three seasons have just beaten it out of me. This was a must-win to keep IU in the tournament picture, a back-and-forth game with multiple lead changes in the second half... And I watched the entire game with absolutely zero emotion. I’m still invested, I still want them to make the tournament badly... But the energy just isn’t there for me anymore. Hopefully they give me a reason to get back into it soon, whether it’s this season or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhinithreeMagic Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Conference standings are valued too much this year. This team is better than it was last year and will be better next year than it is now. Every team except two is a Quad 1 road game in this conference. Roughly 8 teams are Quad 1 games even at home. The B10 is a gauntlet and there will be good and bad nights when you lack upperclassman leadership. The 1st and 2nd year guys are learning how to win in the best conference in the country. College basketball is an environment where success that is built overnight can also disappear overnight. I firmly believe patience will pay off with Archie.

No but is it a bit disheartening when you see Purdue who is less talented than us beating MSU and Iowa by 30 yet we barely squeak by bottom feeders like NW, Nebraska, and Minnesota. Bottom line I'm glad we won but the game was way too close for comfort. Good thing we play Wisconsin on Saturday so I'll be drunk and happy either way.

Relax. “For the love of god”???....He said we were picked 10th in the conference and we are indeed 10th in the conference. Are we supposed to not acknowledge we are 10th in the conference? I’m just glad it looks like we are going to the tourney as it’s good for the program and a sign of progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue is f&$king 16-14....and will end the regular season with 15 losses. Same as IU LAST YEAR. You know the season you keep b****ing about?

Are we talking about the Purdue team that got beat by 20+ at Illinois, the Purdue team that got beat by 17 at home by Illinois, or the Purdue team that lost at Ohio State by 16?

slojoe Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Joey's best game at IU. Although not spectacular, a good team win for us. I saw the first half of the Wisky v. NW game, and they will be a handful for us on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Team win. TJD is a frosh? Damn. 😁 bottom line - we’re now at 19 wins with multiple quad 1 wins and wins over ranked teams, in the toughest conference. so yes, we should be in the tourney now, but yes, definitely want that W over Wisc, for the comfort and well I hate Wisc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened to him but 10+ years ago he was the best. Now he’s not even a top 10 bracketologist. I’d say we’d be an 8-10 seed at the moment. Win against Wisky and Nebraska and we could get to a 7. Win those 2 plus 2 in the BTT maybe a 6. That’s as far ahead as I’m willing to go because we suck donkey b*lls in the BTT.

mchenry34 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I didn't get to watch the game, but the shooting numbers (especially free throws) seem to indicate that we outplayed them to the extent of double digit win, but didn't shoot well enough to prove it. This Minnesota team nearly beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin just a few days ago. I call this a good win. We did what we needed to do tonight and now it comes down to finishing it off on Saturday. A win and Deron and Devonte escape the ignominy of being four year seniors who never made the tournament. That is actually where I find my nerves emanating from for Saturday. Over the past four years I have detected the wrong kind of response to pressure from leaders on our team. I think that is the biggest culture change that Archie is trying to accomplish. Since Robert Johnson and James Blackmon Junior et al were leading our team, we have tended to respond to pressure with a bit too much of "cool, calm, and collected" rather than the "I don't give a shit" competitiveness that Archie was talking about after Illinois. This is what I saw from Juwan Morgan the last two years and tend to see from our players this year as well (I think that it contributed to the emotional flatness of our Purdue Performance at home). We need to come out on Saturday with the desire to put the other team in the ground...not just win. P.S --> I think that it is a pretty good coaching job by Archie to have kept the team together like this...we are in "win close" mode for sure, and that's not that comfortable a feeling, but just think if you could change ten minutes of basketball total for this team you could add four wins easy (at Illinois, Home vs Maryland, Home Vs Arkansas, and change the last three minutes of the first half at home vs Purdue and that game is way different). we are close to breaking through I believe.... now, please move any post other than TJD and DD to the short corner and open up some driving space on offense...please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
