Hoosiers Win!

[Parakeet Jones]

Ware is a dude. Way to not fold and pull this one out. 

[Kdug]

Good win, but costly with the injuries.

I feel really bad for X. I know he’s not everyone’s favorite, but that seemed like it might be the end of his college career. What a terrible way to go.

Nice response to a furious Iowa rally. I’ll admit…I did not expect a win once Iowa took the lead. Happy to be wrong.

Pulled out a nice win. Running out if players

We need X to be our best. I hate it.

Gotta admit, I thought we done 💩 the 🛏️. but no, we ground one out.

Nice that our opponent is the one to moan about some unknown having a career game for a change.

Hope all the injured guys (X especially) are alright. Hate to see that stuff.

Scary to think we almost blew a 17 point lead but solid effort in the final 2 minutes. Honestly thought we were gonna lose because of our free throw shooting. MVP was Leal and Ware is a stud for battling through that injury. Can’t believe people question his heart and motor. 
 

im terrified what this season might end like if X/Reneau/Ware are out for extended periods/rest of season.

No matter how frustrated I get sometimes,  nothing in sports gets me amped like an IU  win in an exciting game..

[KDB]

Proud of the finish. Ware and Leal were awesome.

Shoutout to Cupps on the late 3. Huuuugeee shot for a Freshman.

Hoping for the best on all the injuries. Feel horrible for X.

Leal is going to have to keep playing good 

Gunn is going to get some minutes too. Time to step up and earn your spot next year

[BobSaccamanno]

Very happy for Leal tonight.   Hopefully he keeps going.  He was SOLID

[IU Scott]

Give credit to this team and coaches for not folding when Sandfort hit that shot to go up 2. Love seeing Leal show what kind of team player he is. He never plays but he was ready when the opportunity came to him.

Iowa did not getting anything from their front court at all. Kripke and Freeman combined for 6 points

[bronkonagurski]

Big win, had to have it! Love it!

Great call!

That was a fun game. The guys earned, even when it got sloppy, they battled through. I know this team isn't perfect. If I can get efforts like this, and even the Illinois game, I'll be a happy fan the rest of the season.

It didn't look good for X

[HoosierDom]

I didn't see what happened to Malik, did it look bad?

I can't imagine X comes back this year. I've hurt my knee and ankle before where it hurt real bad right away but then got better quickly and I was fine. Never had that happen to my arm.

[jefftheref]

Congratulations to the Hoosier's and Coach Woodson on the win. Great play from the bench, and I am especially happy for Leal and Cupps. Hopefully the injuries aren't serious.

Tough to tell with Malik. Looked like an ankle, probably a sprain. Didn’t look horrible on the replay and he walked (limped) off the court on his own power, but those sort of injuries can linger.
