They rank em, we spank em. Have a nice day Actually, that was pretty mild smack talk and a nice scouting report, so I'll take it with thanks. Obviously, he doesn't know a lot about the players outside of the 2-headed monster, but that's to be expected at this stage in the game. He'll get to know Phinisee, Justin Smith, McBob (hopefully) and others as the game wears on. I expect a very competitive entertaining game, but yes...I expect an IU win.

Yeah true it was more of a scouting report for sure than smack talk, I just was trying to instigate it but it clearly didn't work haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 3 hours ago, FW_Hoosier said: So if McBob can’t play, will we see a bigger starting lineup with Phinisee, Langford, Smith, Morgan, and Davis/Fitzner, or a smaller lineup with Phinisee, Green/Durham, Langford, Smith, and Morgan? I would bet on the latter. For what it’s worth, I haven’t seen anything indicating McBob won’t play, just speculating with his back strain. I like the big lineup but I want Green on Markus Howard so I'll go with the smaller version. I really think Green could have a big game defensively and I'd rather not see Rob and Romeo spending too much time and energy guarding Markus. When Markus comes comes out, go big. I expect Zach to play and he would be the second option for guarding Markus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to stay humble, heh. But it is indeed a pretty awesome new arena. It's really built on MU's expectations this year... strong team/new home. It all feeds of one another!

My opinion is that is the job of the staff and school to motivate the students to get excited and to incentivize them to buy into an exciting and fun environment. Some coaches and programs just do a better job making attending the games fun and the place to be. Maybe that is doing some type of promotions or bring exciting things for them besides just basketball at the games I don’t know but let’s be honest...just basketball won’t be enough to turn these kids now days. Don’t ask me what the answer is but whether it’s bringing in artist to perform during halftime or after the game or it’s pep rallies etc but I don’t think in this day and age mellinials are going to sell out and bring the ruckus without winning in a major way or the school creating a different environment for the students.

I guess it is different today because it wouldn't matter who we were playing I would be at the game if I were a student. I have went to the NCAA tournament 6 times for the 1st/2nd round games when it was at the old RCA Dome and I went because I love college basketball. All but once IU was there so I went to just watch college basketball because I love the environment of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower level student section was packed. The alumni had a poor showing. The balcony was empty, alumni and students both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The students don’t need anyone to tell them that a non-conference game against Marquette is a big game, especially considering that they’re now ranked. AH will be packed and loud. On a different note, Archie said that Green and McBob will be game-time decisions tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by now, if you have not already discovered.... Hoosier Sports Nation is a very welcoming community for fans from other fan boards. In fact one of our regulars is a Purdue fan. He knows how to handle himself when coming into "enemy" territory. And it sounds as if you do as well. Therefore, I would like to extend an invitation to you to join us on Wednesday for our Marquette game thread, if inclined or able to do so.

We should win by 10+. Assembly Hall is that much of an advantage. It's easily 10-12 points vs that same team at a neutral site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohete15 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 18 minutes ago, dwtaylor1055 said: Indiana opens as 8 point favorites for tomorrow nights game Not surprised. I thought we would be between -6 and -7, and I expect it to close around 6 by game time. I think heavy money will come in on an 8-point Top 25 underdog vs. unranked opponent who hasn't played anyone yet and missed the post-season entirely last year. IMO, one thing we have not yet seen from this team is the foot on the gas for 40 minutes. Morgan has only played 22 minutes in each of the first two games. We've seen a lot of shuffling around of lineups/rotations because we've had that luxury. I won't be surprised to see Archie stick with what's working tomorrow.

Billingsley99 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I really have a feeling this is one of those special teams. I feel like we will blow them out. We are going to look back at this game as a defining moment in the career of CAM. Call me crazy IU by 20 but it wont feel that close. Could just be those burritos from lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Preview Time Game will be broadcast on FS1 tomorrow at 8:30pm ET Vegas: IU -8 ESPN: 58% chance of IU victory KenPom: IU: #24, Marquette: #28. 64% chance of IU victory, predicts final score of IU 77, Marquette 73 IU Scouting Report Marquette Scouting Report Both teams have played two cupcakes, so these have to be taken with a grain of salt. Interesting themes though: FG% allowed - both teams are in the top 5 in the nation Turnovers - IU has the tenth best turnover rate on defense, meanwhile Marquette is ranked 259th in turnovers given up. Will be interesting to see if our defense can create a lot of turnovers and break the game open 3P% and FT% - our clear weak points through two games and spots where Marquette has the advantage, shooting 6% better from 3 and 26% better from the line. Strength vs Strength - we are top 6 in the country at 69% from 2 pt range, while they are 3rd in the country only giving up 30% on 2s. Will we have success getting into the paint like we did the first two games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm wondering if the weather forecast for tomorrow will have any bearing on the size of the crowd.
