madmax Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Great win tonight. My only complaint tonight was the play of Newkirk. Was it me, or did he seem like he was sulking when on the court? Seemed like he was only looking for his own offense, and not concerned about actually running the plays. I know he isn't starting anymore, but we're still inevitably going to need him down the stretch. He played selfish and that is the last thing we need. Biggest positive for me tonight was Devonte Green. He was excellent on defense and his decision making I thought was superb. I really think he can be a special player if he continues to develop and plays within the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Kind of enjoyable. Morgan and Rob killed it. Green with 9 points, 4 assists, 3 boards Defense, defense Rutgers shot ... 13 of 54. (And 4-14 from the arc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacarcio Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I really think we are starting to see a culture being developed and a grit that I hope every indiana team has under Archie. Future is bright. I hope we get some post season play regardless of where that comes from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefftheref Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Great game by the Hoosiers. They showed some toughness and resolve tonight. Excellent defense, decent shooting and team ball. I sense that they have bought into Coach Miller's philosophy. I hope Green continues to develop and Newkirk stays on the pine. His head is in the clouds and he is playing very selfishly.

kyhoosier29 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Probably a stretch here, but say we win 4 of the last 5 (assuming a loss at Nebraska) and make the Big10 finals.....at 20-14 does the RPI creep up enough to be on the bubble?? Guessing no with 14 losses. Never mind, we need to win the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 It's a good thing IU didn't need to hit free throws! Good win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hard to say who the MVP is (maybe the defense) but it sure did seem like the game turned when Freddie went out in the first half. He really is a bad match up for the opposing team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstall76 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 When was the last time IU scored 65 and won by 20? Great game. Great defense, great 3 pt shooting Free throws sucked Newkirk was awful. I really think he sees the writing on the wall and has checked out. Morgan deserves more talk for B1G POY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 My MVP would have to be Devonte. Morgan was obviously dominant, but that's kind of getting boring at this point(in a wonderful way). Rojo hit some shots and played a good all around game.. But to me Devonte really makes the offense click when he's playing well and making good decisions. His defense tonight was also excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Our team played an amazing game. Only allowed 43 points to a home team. Did it ever happen in the last 20 years of IU basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we will have to win the BTT to make the dance. I think if we had won two of the MSUx2, Purdue, OSUx2, and Duke games then that's probably a different story, but unfortunately we didn't.

cohete15 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think I disagree on the Newkirk selfish ball. I actually felt like Archie wanted him to go out and just play, keep shooting. Now if he was doing that in a close game, I would agree. We need him to get going a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
