IUFLA Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) When: Sunday, October 29th 1 PM EDT Where: Simon-Skjotd Assembly Hall, Bloomington, Indiana TV: BTN+ At last! IU basketball! 4th year coach Paul Corsaro (56-28) leads his UIndy Greyhounds into Simon-Skjotd Assembly Hall off of a 26-5 season and a #1 seed in the DII Midwest Region. Corsaro received GLVC Coach of the Year honors in 2022-23. The Greyhounds return 4 of their top 5 scorers in 6'6 wing Jesse Bingham (16 ppg 27% from 3), 6'7 center Kendrick Tchoua (14 ppg), 6'3 guard Josiah Hines (8 ppg 42% from 3), and 6'3 guard Jarvis Walker (8 ppg 42% from 3). The Greyhounds also picked up some size in 6'11 freshman Kelvin Amoako, 6'10 freshman Keinan McFarlande, and some experience in former GLVC Freshman of the Year 6'6 Dylan Ingram, former G-Mac (DII) Freshman of the Year 6'4 Zac Szul, and former All GLVC 2nd team selection 6'5 Paul Zilinskas. Good warm up against a well coached, experienced team... Go Hoosiers! Edited October 26, 2023 by IUFLA 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 The game that will define the season for many Hoosier fans. Play well and we're Final Four bound. Play poorly and we're doomed to hang out in the bottom half of the conference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Someone will surely have a big game and get the hopes of the fans up only to not keep up that production level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 The only D1 opponent UIndy faced last year was Western Kentucky (19-13 and did not play in the post season) losing 68-50. Khristian Lander had 6 points for the Hilltoppers... BTW, anyone else pony up the $10 bucks for BTN+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had not watched a thing on it since last December. Of course i got notification if auto renewal last week. So, yes I will be watching.

IUFLA Posted October 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) So now for my yearly rant against BTN+... You can watch BTN+ on the following platforms... B1G+ can be watched on most PC browsers by visiting: https://www.bigtenplus.com You can download our B1G+ app via these devices: Android phones or tablets iPhones or iPads Roku Firestick Apple TV Xbox - no in-app payment option Smart TV browsers do not support streaming B1G+ at the moment. It's ridiculous that I can't download the BTN+ app to use on a Samsung (the largest TV manufacturer in the world) Smart TV, NOR can I use the browser Samsung includes to watch it...I also no longer see Chromecast on the list...Tried my Chromecast last night, and no joy... If they ever want it to take off, wouldn't it make sense to make the app available to Samsung? Edited October 27, 2023 by IUFLA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I'm really looking forward to seeing this group together on the floor. Sunday is my birthday, so getting IU basketball back is a great present. I did pay the $ to watch this exhibition game and the next. There is plenty I'm looking forward to seeing: * How do the newcomers look? * Growth from Banks and Gunn * Early signs of cohesion with so many new players 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff...Not one word about Kel'el...Guess we'll see Sunday... Woody is not nearly as disdainful of the media as RMK was, but you can tell he don't mind poking at them...When one of them said something about the concern about his age when he first got hired...

"Well, only you guys was worrying about the age" I probably should have included Kel'el specifically in my mentions of what I am looking forward to seeing Sunday. You can count me in the concerned category with him. I hope he proves all those doubts people have 100% wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a while for X to get Woody's version of basketball...The "playing hard" part we saw progress in Malik's game last year...We know what he did with Trayce...So I'm confident he can eventually help Kel'el get on the right path...The kid oozes with potential...

If anyone can unlock that potential, it’s Woody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Can't understand the start time at all. I guess let me know how it goes. Annoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 The 3 things I'll be most interested in today... Team defense Kel'el Ware Mackenzie Mgbako Unless they use one of their freshmen bigs, I think Kendrick Tchoua is going to feel awfully lonely today...

BeerBQ Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Anyone know if the standard BTN will replay the game at all? I’ll be out all day so it isn’t worth the money to watch it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I'm pumped. Interested to see if we come right out with XJ, Galloway, Mbako, Ware, Reneau. I assume so. Interested to see how Mbako looks on the wing. I would think Reneau would eat them alive inside. Definitely excited to see what Ware looks like. I'm still a little confused why we are at the bottom of the others receiving votes in the preseason poll. I mean, I understand the argument is a lot of loss of players and new faces, but still say that is most of college bball. Still say expectations for three 5 stars, XJ, and Galloway outta be pretty high. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 If I breakdown and buy BIG+ today, can I essentially watch the game whenever I want? Plan would be to watch the Eagles game at 1pm, then just watch this later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears don't play until tonight, but if they did play at 1 EDT, the IU game, even an exhibition, would be like a shot of Demerol to soothe that pain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
