33 points only with 12 to play. that’s kind of unheard of. 

I trust Woody but ouch. 
 

Let’s regroup:  good news is time is still available. 
 

first thing I’d do is park Miller in that corner where he can hit. 
 

second is bates in for Parker in short. He needs 3 threes. Let him play.

Everybody we play has knock down 3pt shooters except us. How can that happen….we’re Indiana!

I really hope that CMW is clear with this too. It’s 9th wonder of the world…IU with no shooters,WHAH!!!

Stop cursing. Only warning

Relax. A lot of time

Kopp and Stewart contributing has been in the rear mirror for a while now. But, they’re still on the team, so we continue to hope. 
 

That’s it. Hit some shot

My take, is relax. I think we got this 

Let’s deep breath, opposing coach interviewed/walked off too confident.  Relax

Second half can’t be worst than the first. Looking forward to that. Nothing else to say

IU looks tired

No, IU looks like a 12 seed. 

This is fun. Let’s dance.

I really think advancing in the tourney will come down to if Kopp and Stewart can hit a few outside shots to loosen up the D on TJD.

I said somewhere earlier in the forum, the "X" factors to IU making a run are these two making some shots from range.  I really hope that we can get Kopp freed up a few times from the corner as he seems to shoot pretty well from there when not rushed. 

scUM is a 1 point favorite today.  Am I reading that right?  Correct me if wrong, but isn't that a little like free money?

....you mean this evening here in Hoosier Country!

I meant the last work call for the day which is scheduled to conclude at 5pm EST.  Then outside to fire up the grill and pop a few cold ones before the Hoosier's dance party.  Looking forward to it...going to be a long day. 

GO HOOSIERS!!

Hmmm...someone to catch fire.  SMH.  Phinisee did make a few against Purdue.  I couldn't tell you a thing that's memorable as far as Kopp and Stewart when it comes to shooting. 

During the Syracuse game my buddy texted asking if that was Miller Kopp or Steve Alford.  That was a long time ago...

have you seen Race play the last couple games.  I would have left him off the list too lol

Yes, please note the italics.  🤣

Here's the every shot taken from 2022 WAC Championship game if anyone wants to watch St. Mary's against Gonzaga on a neutral court. From watching this I feel like TJD can obviously dominate. St Marys allowed the Gonzaga big ample room to pass out to their 3 point shooters. Additionally, the St. Mary's transition D appeared suspect.

Indiana needs at least one of Kopp, Parker, Phinisee or someone to catch fire from 3.

Maybe the NCAA should consider not sending a First Four winner clear across the country for their next round game.  

Winner of ND/Rutgers getting hosed on the travel too.

One of our favorite IU alums Angela Ganote said on the local news this morning that IU landed in Portland at 9am EST.

Thank you for the earlier start time.  I'm struggling today on a few hours of sleep...

Going be 75 in Indy tomorrow...time to break out the grill, pop a few cold ones, then watch IU dance.

Woodys taking IU to S16. Bank it. 

There is certainly a path...  Need to be play better than last night obviously, but we're capable (especially if JG gets more time) and our draw is favorable IMO.  Outside of Zona and The Zags, I think IU matches up well with the west coast teams.  Hardly any will have an answer for TJD (a man on a mission right now) and don't underestimate the value in playing the gauntlet of a B10 schedule.

Shoot the ball men, and all will be just fine...

Nice to be finally winning games in March! 

It took 15 minutes in the first half for IU to settle down. I hope we can carry that over to St Mary's. Let's jump on them out of the gate and benefit from this extra game getting us in rhythm. 

TJD looked like an All American. It was clear from the beginning that he came to play. TJD and Geronimo were not going to let us lose. 

Geronimo displayed his NBA potential. 

Xavier breaking down the D was crucial even if he was inefficient on O. 

Race did show some hustle and had a couple dunks. 

Parkers D was important. 

Our lack of 3 pt shooting brings us closer to a breakout shooting night. Hopefully we won't need it Thursday. I'd rather save it for Sat. 

Lastly, @5fouls did avoid a meltdown by leaving the game chat early. Just have a little more confidence in your team next time. 

I like this take.  Cheers to you being correct. 

31 points so far combined for JG and TJD
