IUFLA Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 When: Saturday, March 11th 3:30 pm EST or 25 minutes after game 11 ends Where: United Center, Chicago, Illinois TV: CBS Indiana lost to Penn State 85-66 in Happy Valley on 1/11, the last in our 3 game losing streak...Probably our worst defensive effort beside Iowa at home, all year Box score The Nittany Lions come in winners of 7 of their last 8 The Lions have been starting Wynter, Pickett, Funk, Lundy, and Njie. Clary, Henn, and Myles Dread are their main bench rotation guys. We know we have to stop Pickett. He looked a little tired yesterday in their win versus Northwestern, but he's a threat in all phases of the game. Wynter has come on lately as well. We cannot leave Andrew Funk. Great shooter that can ignite their team. Lundy hit some really tough shots in the Northwestern game, and carried them at the end. Clary is super fast and drives it well, and has a good mid range game, but is not a real 3 point threat. We know what Dread can do from outside, and surprisingly Henn has a good 3 point game for a big... BUT, Njie and Henn cannot handle Trayce...No way...They'll help a lot in the post, but I think Trayce, Race, and Malik will have a lot of looks, and should win the board battle. We do need to hit some outside shots to keep them from totally clogging the lane. Make those tired legs close out on the perimeter... Penn State is 3rd in ORtg and 12th in DRtg... Let's keep rolling! Go Hoosiers! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Force 2s. Stay attacking on offense. They'll have to double TJD. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Did we put JHS or Galloway on Pickett the first game? We really have a big size advantage on them. Guard the perimeter and ball screens like the second half last night and we should be in good shape. And hopefully Race is over whatever mental ailment he had the last 5 mins of last nights game… I rewatched it this morning and I’m almost more worked up about it now. Put the towers in and let them eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Same formula applies = win the turnovers - win rebounds- keep the ball in front of you on D. If IU can play the pick and roll well on D it will force psu to take tough threes or drive. And they will take a lot of threes one way or the other, so make them tough. Will IU chase over the screen to force the drive or go under and allow the threes? Have to believe psu will fatigue at some point. Young or not, three straight days has to have an impact and yesterday they played OT. So making them work hard from the start is big. Go IU ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I wanted PSU, surely they are going to wear down and those threes will be harder to hit. Plus either team from PSU/NW would have been a revenge game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Penn st has some dudes. Good old fashioned defense, rebound, and limit turnovers. Win ugly, I don't care. Be the more physical team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdug Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I wonder who we’ll have on Pickett. I think last game we had Galloway, at least to start. But I wonder if Race might do well against him since he likes to post players up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Race comes ready to play today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUCrazy2 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Would love to see Penn State gas out, we get up about 20 and are able to sit JHS and TJD for long stretches in the 2nd half. If we see Gunn, Geronimo, Banks, etc. then it was likely a good day. (Not holding my breath, but nice to dream.)

Pickett isn't a super athlete, and when he posts up, he uses a lot of shot fakes and footwork to get baskets... Miller doesn't fall for those... I think Race takes Lundy, Trey-Funk, and JHS on Wynter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Race takes Lundy, Trey-Funk, and JHS on Wynter... I agree. But... we might be switching a fair amount 1-4, anyways. When Tamar and MR are on the court... PSU will screen/run action until they get a matchup they like against Bates/MR. Those two will have to bring it again, defensively. On the other end... I thought we cut well last night, continue that.. PSU has little rim protection and we need to exploit that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else would he not be engaged in a team time out? That’s definitely not going to earn him any extra minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I expect a close, hard fought first 30 minutes. I think our fresher legs take over the last ten and we finish up with an 8-12 point win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to pick one frame and make global statements. This could be something brewing negatively, or simply a well-timed shot that doesn't have full context. Good thing is we'll know by later today how everything is going. Not a lot of time to stew and speculate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I wonder when Pickett is in the post if we double with TJD making it hard for Pickett to pass out of it. The guy they have dyarting at the 5 is notuch.of an offensive threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
