milehiiu Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just remember..... I was the one who brought you the news on Cody Zeller...... long before any one else. Different intel on Romeo. But, never the less no less as strong as on Cody. Not saying it is a done deal by any means..... but looking good as of now.

His formula is what it is. He was off on Minnesota when his formula was factoring Minnesota at full strength. He was way off this afternoon. I guess...that qualifies as multiple games. But he wasn't way off on PSU or Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Getting away from Romeo, for a moment...... at least a half dozen other IU targets were in attendance at AH for the game against Northwestern. No doubt....in my mind that they had to take in to attention..... the chant for Romeo became in the stands. If that does not say that Hoosier fans.... know and love Hoosier kids.... than I don't know what else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feel most of the time.... momma gets what momma wants.... most of the time. At least that has been the case in my family. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Kenpom's formula has been accurately tracking IU? His formula clearly over-weighs outliers, whatever man. Iowa, now at 87. Nebraska, now at 81. And on and on. Look up his formula, apply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Another really strong effort. The defense was the best it’s look, and was really fun to watch. Yes, NW is a bad shooting team, but just watching our rotations and how hard guys were helping/hedging and recovering was impressive. Also nice to see a game where our best player has early foul trouble and we still grind out a half time lead. As others have said, Newkirk and RoJo were both really good, I think Durham played really good D, and nice to see Smith get back on track a bit. Of course, Morgan was great in the second half. Really need to find a way to win both Illinois and UMD, and then steal one from @MSU, Purdue, OSU, MSU games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwestern is the only recent game that anyone can have qualms with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Who really cares about the Kenpom game predictions? They don’t have any bearing on the outcome of the actual game, and I would be surprised if they’re much more accurate than flipping a coin to predict which team will win any given game. Same goes for ESPN’s dumb BPI game predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 The NCAA recently said they were looking into using kenpom in their tourney selection. Not sure if they will but I remember them saying that least year. Honestly he is pretty good on his stats. Picking winner by what is iffy at best anywhere. And they ranking is probably closer right now. Watch us raise fast when/if we beat some actual good teams. A weak Minn PSU and NW isn't going to move is much. Although the 20 point win should help.

Seeking6 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Can't believe the game Robert Johnson had. Stepped up and made shots when we needed. But since he gets ripped on a consistent level on this and other IU boards I'll say this. RoJo trailed Scottie Lindsey most of the game. Lindsey who averages 14+ went 1-15 from field, 0-7 from 3, 2 total points...could go on and on. Hats off to Robert. Considering that McRoberts and Juwan were taken out of the game 120 seconds in....kudos to him for holding down the fort as well as Newkirk. Reiterate what others said. Can't believe how much better our offense looked with Morgan. Spacing, cutting, passing...I felt like we scored on 4 of first 5 possessions in 2nd half and rolled from there. Mcintosh was a non factor (again) in Assembly Hall. Tied for 3rd with important game at East Lansing Friday. Let's keep this thing rolling. Edit-one other thing I wanted to mention that doesn't get a ton of discussion. Freddie McSwain gave us valuable minutes and at least from section of the couch on the North Side of Indy his defense and deny entry pass down low to multiple bigs from Northwestern was really well done.

Or if it caused an upturn why we were low to begin with? If you can't I understand. This seemed to come out of nowhere (much like his unofficial yesterday).

slojoe Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 This game was IU's best defensive game since their victory over UK in NCAAT about 2 years ago. The defense had been getting gradually better, but this game was a quantum leap. They were very physical on defense and just took NW out of what they wanted to do. I hope IU can keep the D at this level and continue to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierTownie Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don't post much, but thought I would share that I was at the game yesterday and a scout from the Bulls was sitting next to us. I didn't talk to him, but he seemed to be watching Morgan as well as McIntosh from NW. I also found it humorous when he seemed to get peeved when my girlfriend glanced over while he was making some notes. EDIT - wow, just noticed after posting that this is my first post on this incarnation of HSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I've been saying all along that Romeo would not be a one and done. But, I think it's unrealistic to think he'll be anywhere 4 years. Keep in mind that many good students with the right credits from high school and some solid summer classes are able to obtain a degree in 3 or fewer years.
