SIHoosier26 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I don't care if it's by 1 point in 5 overtimes. Just give me that W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cohete15 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 The new start times are a joke. 5:30 for us Evansville people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 We need this win but we haven't handled anyone at home yet so i expect a 2 point game. Which side of that i am not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daily Hoosier Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 This informed group knows it, but many don't. Nebraska is very good. One of the best starting lineups in the B1G. This game is a coin toss folks. See our keys to victory, including something Maryland did to our defense on Friday night that has me very concerned. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/nebraska-at-indiana-game-day-essentials-tale-of-the-tape-keys-to-victory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 If we can get 2 fouls on their best 2 players before the first tv time out like RL and JM have when we are on the road we should be able to squeak this one out , but it won't be easy!

CincyHoosier Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 These are the days when the IU Hoosiers are essentially a pick em at home against Nebraska. I would say this shouldn't be the norm but the last 2 decades say otherwise. I hope brighter days with consistent top 10 teams are on the way. I think they are, but I've been dreaming that for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being retired, it is no problem for me. However, for working people, I can very well understand and empathize with their distaste for early starts during the work week. Some of you may remember, when cable was just getting a foothold in college sports..... the disdain that Coach Knight expressed for late starts, just in order to accommodate an ever increasing demand for games. He argued that late starts, especially on the road, were not good for student athletes. We've come a long way since those days..when if I wanted to know about an IU game.... I would have to check Terry Hutchin's column on the net the next day. Rarely did an IU game get any coverage in the Denver papers back then. For that matter, they still don't. So... I guess some of us have to take the good with the bad. Having IU games being broadcast nationally on a weekly basis, rather than hoping a weekend game would somehow manage it's way onto CBS. And, yes... I do recall being a student and being able to watch Chuck Marlowe doing IU games on tv in B-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day when the bookies made the line for the hoosiers it was saragin formula plus 3.5 to 4 more points to the hoosiers for assembly hall advantage. It was the largest home court advantage added for the line in college basketball. I hope we get back to those days at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Palmer is the kind of player that can go off on a team. Only one game under single digits, I believe. A couple in and around the high 20's/low 30's. Got to put the clamps on him. Also, need to mention... Palmer is an 80% free throw shooter. I feel the game could turn on how well IU defends Palmer, and keeps him from going to the free throw line.

Yes, because Palmer doesn't shoot a high % from the floor (about 40%), but he attempts nearly 8 FTs per game. Need to watch assignments here. Can't let Romeo get in foul trouble defending him.

Romeo guarded Cowen at the end of the Md. game. Perhaps CAM will put Romeo on him latter in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob/Devonte likely on Watson, who is very quick. May see Durham on Palmer and put Romeo on Allen. Smith and Roby are very similar players. Roby not as much of a scoring threat as Palmer, but someone needs to keep him off the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
