Having a week to prepare…but having only 1 day to prepare for Edey…not sure an opponent unfamiliar with them would solve that. It will be interesting to see who ends up on that 8/9 seed line. Creighton? The Jays would match up well. 4/5 seed line. Xavier? UConn. I am just looking at teams that have a dominating big and physical guards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 So many little plays that go into a win. Besides TJD/JHS....Kopp had that defensive play/dive, Trey bodied up Loyer and I felt like he had 2-3 12 foot floaters that were crucial in first half, Bates with the 3, Kaleb coming in and even with the 1 mistake he backed it up with 2-3 great contributions. Final thing is this. Beat a #1 team in the country without Xavier, without Geronimo....and Race is probably 75%. Man this final 2 months is going to be fun to watch if we can get all hands on deck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naturalhoosier Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 I was watching on the road from my phone (no sound). When JHS went down last in the 2nd half holding his knee I thought he blew it out...ACL/MCL. It's likely been discussed in other threads but I'm too lazy to dive through dozens of pages to find it. What happened there? Was he just trying to draw a foul? Did he actually tweak his knee at all? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That his reaction was almost more out of immediate fear than pain, but that he is fine. That's me paraphrasing, of course. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Rewatching the game... Our team defense was great (except on Edey, who's a tough cover for anybody) but Trey Galloway was an absolute demon against Loyer and Smith... Huge difference in the game... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Is ESPN still a functioning website that gets updated? I rarely ever visit it, but I’m looking at the NCAAM home page and there are lots of newish stories, but nothing about the number one team being beaten. Sees like news to me, but what do I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephul Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Great win. Our guards need to be better/smarter with double teaming the post. Bates has to quit swatting at the ball in the post. Love seeing Banks get minutes. How awesome is that as a freshman, to see virtually zero minutes all season, then to start getting PT on a ranked team in February? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no proof other than 35 years of memory but whenever IU does something big in the win column it seems to get shuffled aside. Only thing I can offer is this. When Mike Tirico was asked what his most painful sport memory was he said in a nanosecond the exact date and time that Smart's shot went down and beat Syracuse. Lots of Syracuse folks working at ESPN. That hate runs deep and might have a hand in the coverage of good IU news. Probably a far fetched theory of mine but oh well. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all over my homepage. If you pick IU as a favorite team on their webpage it always pushes stories to the top of your page. That said…I think it goes more to the fact that Purdue just doesn’t garner much interest for them. They aren’t a sexy #1 like Kansas or Duke or any blue bloods. Also getting beat by IU isn’t a big story I would think as it isn’t seen as much of an upset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 I get that we have better things to talk about after a win, but since we're on the topic of people being against us, I think there is something to the idea that the refs don't like Woodson. Off the top of my head, there was a Kopp foul on Edey in the first where Kopp definitely had his arms come down at an angle, but I don't think he ever touched him. There was a shooting foul on JHS where he never actually touched him. There was the out of bounds call where the ball was clearly off them in the 2nd half. There was the time Edey dropped the ball and somehow that was a foul on Reneau. Where are the equivalent calls where we got a favorable one? I guess the one announcer would say the Edey charge, but that seemed pretty egregious to me. I don't remember a single time where they gave us one that was questionable.

I can't see those Purdue guards getting through the second weekend. Once teams solve Eddy, Purdue becomes very ordinary. So, if Purdue is 'weak', doesnt that cheapen our win? I prefer to think in terms that we beat a very good, well-coached, quality team, with a dominant big man. One that I dont like, mind you, but good nonetheless. That type of thinking makes me feel better about MY team, which is more important than feeling less about someone else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushmage Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 I usually don’t like our players talking to opponents but I actually enjoyed seeing Trayce and Zach talking to each other. Both big ten all stars vying for NPOY. They have to understand the moment they’re both in. Probably pretty surreal for them to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the Sports Illustrated cover after IU won the title in 1987. We rated the upper left corner. Baseball season was just starting and the Cleveland Indians got the cover.
