John S Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I agree we need to be smart in breaking press and limit turnovers. If Race performs like last game, we win hands down imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckerkorn Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Would be a great game for the bench to come up big. Then again, that goes for every game from here on out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Will they attack the press to score or will it be a fight to get over half court? I'd like to see them attack when it's there but you have to put the ball in the right hands and have finishers in position and ready to make a play. Turnovers and rebounding. The formula never changes for IU. Still think the guards keeping the ball in front if them is huge so they are not scrambling on D and out of position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 And I believe Green (the ref) was also reffing a game earlier today too. So hopefully we'll only get so-so refs, not the horrible ones tonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) I think we need this one to convince the committee we belong on the 4-line. In fact, we may need tomorrow as well. A lot of teams lurking right behind us, and losing again to any of Maryland, Penn State, and especially Northwestern will raise serious questions about how good we are when those teams are several seed lines below us.

Parakeet Jones Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I’m a nervous wreck. I’ll be honest, I have a bad feeling about tonight. I think I have BTT PTSD after all our struggles in this thing. We’ve not looked as sharp the last two games. We need to be dialed in from tip to 00:00. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that I'm surprised that IU is shown as a 4 seed. But college basketball is pretty crazy anymore. The product has slipped some, IMO. But the game is played differently now and I'm just an old guy trying to keep up. LOL. 😂😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want this game, b/c I’m not a MD fan and I always want IU to win. But it’s nice this year not to be worried about our BTT being the only thing to get us into the NCAAT. We don’t HAVE to have this game to get into the NCAAT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on one pre-game show where they did say they tentatively had the Top 4 seeds in place. But, you have to think there could be some movement depending on who wins conference tournaments and who does not make the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think there is much movement beyond a team moving out and replaced by another team at the back end. Moving seeds at this point can have multiple tickle down implications based on some of the rules with seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You build those contingencies in place by having that team be the 5 in the region you have IU as the 4. Edited March 11, 2023 by 5fouls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
