Seeking6 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Not really sure what to think tonight. I know Michigan is playing better but those 3 wins are vs Northwestern, Ohio St, and Nebraska. The last 2 coming at home. They seem to be searching for a resume building win because even though 8-5 in conference they are 14-10 overall and still have road games at Wiscy, at Rutgers, at Illinois, and at IU. Guess what I'm saying is this one is oh so close to the must win game for them. All road games are tough so hopefully we can just get settled in. Avoid the cheap fouls early on so we can just play team on team. I'm liking us in a tight one. 1-2 possession game of say 79-75 range. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I just hope we don't come out flat and get down 10 points right off the bat. Would love it the other way around. Fast start for us and the Wolves playing from behind the entire game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-BONE Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Where there's a will there's a way. I say a shut down defensive performance is the best chance. Taller order away from home perhaps minus crowd's energy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGleas Posted February 11, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 This is a really interesting game. Not a "must win". The Rutgers game really put us in a good spot with being 3 games over .500 in conference. But, I call this a "separator" game. A road game like this against a good, though beatable opponent has the chance to separate IU from the pack. Win this and we're 4 games over .500 and beginning to put a bit of a hold on that 2nd spot in the standings. We begin heading toward a double bye in the BTT and with a nice run to close the season potentially a 3-4 seed in the NCAAT. It's a win that can create some road and standings momentum to an extent. Lose and it's not the end of the world, but we fall back into the scrum of the middle of the pack Big Ten teams. We're back to fighting and clawing for BTT seeding and you're more looking at fighting in that range of a 5-7 seed NCAAT team. Not absolutes on the above win or lose, but again it's more about separating in terms of standings and positioning. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we fall back into scrum, we have the most difficult remaining schedule of the scrum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 While TJD is clearly the "engine", it seems we go as JHS goes - if he hits some shots and limits turnovers it bodes well for our chances. Also need Galloway & Kopp to continue their solid play. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going into the next two thinking we really need to win one if we want to keep improving our seeding. We can win out our home games and easily get in as a 5-7 seed, but would really love to see these guys keep it in gear pushing towards a 3-4 seed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Play focused, hard and smart. A big knock that the pundits go to for this program is winning on the road. Its true…we aren’t consistent. Win this game and separate ourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
