Hoosier987 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 No letdown game that we’ve been prone to in the past. I’m tired of Rutgers and their alum talking trash. Beat the hell out of them. Win by 20+ points. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Rutgers sucks so bad at sports and pretty much everything else that there are no funny memes to be found making fun of them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 One assistant coach was in at 8am this morning. I'm sure working on the scout for Rutgers. Mellencamp playing the IU Auditorium tonight and tomorrow. Didn't see one player out last night( i'm sure they were) everything is right in Btown. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Huge game, have to have it. I almost want to beat these guys as bad as I did Purdue. Rutgers has squarely entered Wisconsin territory in terms of non-rivals I can’t stand and want to beat to dominate. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Haven’t posted in a while. I have an admittedly irrational hatred for Rutgers. They shouldn’t be in the Big Ten. They don’t fit in, and never will. Piscataway is a dump. I really, really, really want to beat them by 25. I wish Piekell would get hired somewhere else already. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 1901’s unofficial depth/injury report We all Rutgers on this board! Jokes aside, Coach Pike has done an excellent job rebuilding the culture in Rutgers and gunning for a 3rd straight tournament appearance. Judging purely by minutes and looking at recent games, Rutgers plays about 7-8 deep. Rutgers has a big/tall starting starting with 6’7 G Caleb McConell (who is the reigning B10 DPOY), 6’4 Cam Spencer (RU’s 3 point specialist, 2nd leading scorer), 6’7 G Paul Mulcahy (plays very well), 6’7 Mawot Mag (has become RU’s most intensive the last few weeks), and C 6’11 Cliff Omoruyi (Beast underneath the basketball and leading scorer). 4 of RU’s starters play about 30.0+ mpg, but they have been effective. They also do foul a lot too averaging close to 16.0 fouls per game. Coming off the bench, 6’6 F Andre Hyatt (9.4 PPG, used to start) and 6’3 G Derek Simpson (had 14 points against IU). Really depends who they use as an Extra person off the bench Palm/Reiber/Woolfolk. I expect them to go 8 deep if F Mawot Mag is out Injury Report Starting F Mawot Mag is questionable for the game Tuesday, as he suffered a bad non-contact injury against MSU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win puts is in 2nd place in the conference. A loss and we are mired in the log jam from 3rd to 8th. Really important home game against a team we typically struggle against. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidehoosier Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 If you don’t think TJD is hungry for a win against Rutgers go listen to the question at the 3 minute mark and his response 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) This one is not difficult. Rutgers has punked IU multiple times for mutliple seasons now. More physical in every way. They take cheap shots. They talk trash. And while IU loses it's cool and stops playing basketball Rutgers turns IU over and controls the boards for the win. IU didn't handle Maryland's senior guards very well. Rutgers has the senior guards with size and they can score. They rebound as a team at a high level. IU has to come to play winning basketball, not get caught up in the other crap, and cherish the basketball. They can't be fouling like they have recently and give away easy points. It's going to take a big effort, especially from the guards, and a great home crowd. Edited February 6, 2023 by Euroclydon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team has to have him take those shots. He is selfish if DOESN'T shoot, even when he's struggling. Every shot(basically) that he took on Tues evening was a solid look... and almost all of them were within the flow of our offense. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said.....When's the last time we had guy who's best shot was an old school, mid range jumper. Those are rare anymore. When he shoots those, I'm totally confident that it's going in. Sort of the same way I'm feeling more confident with Galloways "in the paint" floaters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actions we run to get those two guys those shots are the same. Just mentioning, it's nice that we have a little variation in how we finish that play, as you mentioned. Purdue couldn't guard it at all. Neither could Maryland, JHS just threw up 13 bricks lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
