hoosiertildeath Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Oddshark has IU a 5.5 POINT Favorite for tonight's HOME GAME with Iowa !! I felt like the Michigan ROAD GAME coming right after the tough hard felt LOSS TO DUKE was going to be a trap game [and I was right ] IU came out listless and never really got into the game except for Juwan Morgan !! Tonight , I am feeling much better about our Indiana Hoosiers !! I think we will see a nice turn around WIN !! Go " Archie and the Gang !! Sorry to see Curtis Jones is going to transfer at the end of the first semester !! However , this does open up another scholarship for next season !! I would love to see Archie taake the [censured ] REDSHIRT From Race Thompson and see if he can add some spark to the post play THIS SEASON ??

I don’t like our chances of beating UL on the road or ND at a neutral site, so a loss here most likely means 5 straight losses. Then we get IPFW at home, which could honestly extend the losing streak to 6. And our next 2 conference games are @Wisconsin and @Minnesota. Have to think that a 5-6 game losing streak and an 0-4 start in conference play would pretty much destroy the team’s confidence, and shut the door on any slight hope we still have of making noise in the B1G or making the tournament. We have to win this game. Perfectly fair, but I see it differently. I do think the team is improving, fairly steadily, even with the step back against UM. Time will tell on that, but it's what I see right now. No question to me this is a game we "should" win. But while it's always possible we could go on a long losing streak, that's conjecture. And BTW, Wiscy is looking awfully bad, and losing, right now. UL is beatable. the neutral game with ND is winnable. If this is a tourney team, which is questionable, it does have to get it going soon. This game would be a step in that direction, but don't think it's necessary.

dbmhoosier Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 We need our crowd into it tonight but being a Monday with finals coming up coupled with our 2 game losing streak I don't see the students showing up. A loss is very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slojoe Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 This a must win because this is one of the few teams in B10 that we can beat at home at this time. We're just not very good right now. Hopefully things will pick-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm more in the must win category. We will need some road wins a long the way. A home loss, to lower to middle of the pack conference foe will come back to haunt us. I guess it all depends on your definition of "must win".

Indykev Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 You can't lose to ISU and Iowa at home and be a tourney team (which we aren't). Every home game is a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 My definition of a must-win is the opponent is weak, hence, we can't and shouldn't lose to that team. In all honestly, if we can't beat this year's Iowa at home, who can we beat either at home or away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Count me in we have to get this one. As others indicated. Road vs Louisville, ND...kids need a win. Plus looking at the landscape of Big10 there is going to be a ton of teams at 10-8, 9-9, 8-10 range. These are the home games you have to win if you want to be at .500 or better in conference. As I type that though I find myself saying. With this group. It really is one game at a time. Shouldn't focus on long yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell if this is a joke or not, but Settles is a B1G Network host. He used to kill us with his sharpshooting skills once upon a time though. Also, I think (hope) the team bounces back and takes a step forward by winning this one. 74-69 is my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
