Seems like a crazy way to start the season in my opinion. I think the ACC went to a 20 game conference schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke is the only team that doesn’t have to play a November conference game. Their first conference game isn’t for another month. Sounds fair.

Parakeet Jones Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I wonder is the early ACC conference games are also a way to draw eyes early in the season to the new ACC network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of talk about up and coming....not much else. Not much to add on Keion Brooks. We all saw this coming. Barring injury from others....he might have a game or two where he gets some stat lines but once all the dust settles....15 minutes sounds about right. Enjoy that pine kid....and remember to thank your Dad after the season. I hope of all of us (me included) can forgive Keion soon lol. I hate to be so negative all year...might turn us into Illini fans after the Gordon switch. I hope the best for him personally. I don’t think he will be a OAD so it will be interesting to see if he takes a big leap next year. Can’t say I will be rooting for his team but I am going to follow his career with interest. He may be a little behind with his shot right now but there is enough talent around him to put him in position to make some plays if he keeps working hard.

Checking back from time to time I expect...I just hope this isn’t a theme after every game. Nothing you said was incorrect factually. Kid is struggling to find an identity on that team.

Yeah, it is in bad taste to hope the kid fails just because he spurned us. Wish KBJ well myself individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 10 hours ago, dgambill said: Tough start for B1G. Michigan and Illinois squeak out wins. Wisconsin down late...probably lose. Nebraska getting waxed. MSU in a dog fight with the refs. These definitely aren’t B1G officials for sure lol. Not going to be good for the power rankings of the conference. At least IU did what it was supposed to do. Many predicted Michigan and Illinois to finish ahead of IU. Based on opening night, I wouldn't be putting money on that.

5fouls Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Virginia opens at Syracuse tonight. This season will be interesting to see if Virginia can sustain considering how much they lost. If they win 28+ again, then you have to consider them as an elite program.

jv1972iu Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 OSU vs Cincinnati score with 11:24 in first half...8-4 Cincy. Talk about ugly b-ball. This game gives new meaning to the term brick. Sheeesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I just tuned in to the OSU game for 30 seconds and it was enough to make me sad for missing out on DJ Carton. ....so I turned it off and went to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, Syracuse only scored 19 points in the first half, and then topped that by putting up 15 in the 2nd. 23% shooting overall and 17% from 3 will kill you every time. 3/7 from the line...Christ... Only 13 FTs shot by both teams for the game so it wasn't a foul-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 To me these games involving two good teams have not been very well played and I think it is to early in the year to have marquee matchups. Both game sin New York was not well played especially on the offensive end so I think it is good to schedule a couple of easy wins early so you can get into some kind of rhythm.
