Miss JG also

The refs are making this difficult.  Sooo many fouls!

Bad stretch, just don’t let it get out of hand.  Get some defensive rebounds and make the necessary adjustments at halftime.

I hate it when the late games can’t get on until the early one ends

Probably did not deserve it, but will sure take it.  My biggest question is what happened to JG?  Did he get hurt?  Sure seemed like they needed his fire and rebounding all second half.

What happened to Geronimo?

How is MN getting so many offensive rebounds?  And winning every scrum.  Guess they are just playing harder.  It’s hard to think IU could actually lose this game, but if they don’t pick up their intensity it could happen.

Well, that was one ugly half!

Where is the shooting from the other night?  How many open shots can they miss?  And stop fouling!

Does it have to b like this?  Turnovers and fouls?  Playing down to competition.  Cannot afford to mess up this game.

Great game!  What a difference when this team can hit some threes.  TJD is a beast.

They could lose again before OSU, but I don't think so.  The next week is big for both of them.  i think it really comes down to beating Ohio State and then containing Caitlin Clark in their final game before playoffs.  They could be a #1 seed and/or in the Final Four.  Guess we'll find out.

You were certainly right about the no match for TJD. Hope you’re right about the rest!

I hope so also.  It would be great to start playing like we were initially ranked.  Hard to play without your point guard and Race, but after losing some games they probably shouldn't have, they seem to be adjusting.  If we can beat MSU this weekend, who knows?  Does anyone know when Race, and then maybe even X, can come back?  The kids can take us only so far.

Who cares?  Wait until NCAA’s until they need to be mentioned.

They are good!  Just need to improve 3 point shooting and win on the road.  Also beat Ohio State.

Why can’t anyone make two free throws?

I agree with dgam.  We are losing to teams we would probably easily beat if not for losing our point guard and now Race.  One year, who knows when, IU will go through a season physically intact.  If X and Race don’t get back it’s going to be a long, disappointing season.

All that being said, just cut out the turnovers, hit a few more shots, and expect PS three point shooting to cool off, and this game is still in play.

Good grief!  Stop making stupid passes and turning the ball over!  Also, hitting an outside shot might be good.

Guess my question is, can IU win any more games without our PG and Race?

Hard to believe that what looked like such a good team and season was actually so thin.

Just not good enough without missing players.  No way IU should ever lose to NW at home.  Looks a lot like last year.  Folding up against BIG.

Good grief!  Not one offensive rebound and KS has several second chance points.  Play tougher!!

Eliminate half of the silly turnovers snd it’s a much better game.  KU is a good defensive team but not that good.  When it got to ten, we missed an open three and a layup.  It could have been five and a different game.  Instead, it went the other way.

I was there.  The atmosphere was amazing.  From the minute I walked into MGM from the parking lot all I saw was IU jerseys throughout the hotel and casino.  They announced 13,500+ fans at the game.  Of those, a least 10,000 were IU fans.  The noise was deafening.  You would have thought more AU fans since they are much closer to Las Vegas, but that as not the case.  They got frowned out by IU fans the whole game.  It was like a home game.  IU travels well.

As for the game itself, Arizona had too much height, which gave them multiple second and third chances.  They love to throw the ball inside to the two seven footers.  Once IU got very close in the second half, AZ's guards got hot from outside.  It seemed like every three pointer they threw up went in during the stretch between 8 and 4 minutes remaining.  IU fought hard but just could never catch up.

Less than eight minutes to go.  Keep up the pressure.
