Still really stupid on his behalf and the Nebraska staff for letting him on the bench. Stay the hell home people if you are sick. Go Hoosiers!!!

NCHoosier32 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 well... it's kinda like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound? i have been saying Archie needed to make the tourney this year or at least next year. i guess this counts regardless of whether there is a tourney? i'm scratching my head. bottom line is that it is clear progress from last season. will be interesting to see if we have addition by subtraction next year. will also be interesting to see if Lander is a big immediate impact. i am still holding out hope that we see a tourney this year and the Hoosiers in it, but if not i expect next year to be better than an 11th place B1G finish.

I thought he had his wrist wrapped in ice and might have banged it hence my question. I've worn my fair share of knee and elblow braces and know all to well what they are. There was no need for your demeaning comments and personal attacks. Let's try and keep this forum polite for everyone. Thanks to everyone who stepped up in my defense. You are right sir I totally agree and apologize, I was out of line. Looking back this morning with fresh eyes, I should not have been set off like that. Maybe my disgust for simple things starting wild fires, has made me start wild fires of my own. Again, hat In hand, I was out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know sports are a diversion to help us cope or divert our attention from problems. But today it was like I was in a twilight although I was coherent enough to watch us pound it inside and see all the potential oozing out of Franklin. To me this has some of the same feelings around 9/11 where you just don't know what will happen next. It is just a surreal feeling and right now sports are not a priority and we have to do what is best for the country right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 As for the game last night I was happy with how the team played for the most part and they took care of business. It is 3.5 hours until the games are suppose to start so if they were going to cancel the gams I would think it would have happened by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Great game by our Hoosiers. Can't remember the last time someone had 17 boards for us in a game. Mentioned Armaan in pregame thread....maybe he just loves BLF because he plays his best there. Can't wait for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxnJxn Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I thought there was an interesting situation for Archie with respect to strategy, in that he had to decide whether pressing a team short on bodies was worth the toll it might take tonight and further on in the BTT, especially when you're playing on opening night. We had some really, really crisp passing and overall offensive sets where we were moving the ball quickly, too, which we haven't seen much of this year. Solid W overall.

Even if the tournament is cancelled, they need to at least have selection Sunday as validation.

Yes, or intentional food poisoning from Jazz fans. But it is widely regarded as the "flu game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if the crisis abates in time try to play the games in April or may. Could benefit teams like us that have a lot of returning players who will get more practice time.

mchenry34 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I didn't get to watch the game last night but was just looking at the box score. I noticed that Rob Phinisee had really limited minutes (and to some extent that is true of a few others on the team). Is the general consensus that his limited minutes were just a matter of staying as fresh as possible for day two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good to see Armaan play well. Future is bright. Really confident. Took a couple of shots where he could have been more aware of time and score, but overall was a good outing. Love seeing him take a couple of charges. Definitely leads the team in that stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely leads the team in that stat. I do think that we are farther along in culture for the program now. I LOVE the character and competitiveness of the recruits we have coming in for next year. I think we will look a far cry more like Archie's tough as nails approach as a player and what he had a Dayton going forward. I also think the skill level will be trending up along with the overall athleticism. I was a varsity head coach for a while and though I was young and still learning, I had the hardest time coaching kids who weren't self-motivated and competitive. I could not figure out how to reach them because it simply made no sense to me. When I played it was never a question of whether or not I would play hard...could not wrap my mind around the idea that some people would just go through the motions. I wonder if Archie has had that a little bit with this team over the past couple of years. Kids that are just really mercurial in their engagement and effort and Archie has had to regain their attention so many different times...I think that going forward that will be less of an issue as he will be focusing on that in recruiting. Truth be told, Matt Painter learned a similar lesson from his Kelsey Barlow years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he loves playing in that arena considering his performance against Notre Dame. Hope he gets a chance to do some more damage in this tournament.

IU Scott Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just got done reading the game thread and was very disappointed in some of our so call fans. Getting upset with bad play is one thing but to actually call out players and call them names is uncalled for. to me it is an embarrassment to this fan base for some of our fans to over react to every little play that happens in a game.
