IUFLA Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 On 12/24/2019 at 9:28 AM, ThePaulieWalnuts said: Arkansas normally rolls out a starting five with no one over 6’6”. Their backcourt has three players that average 14ppg or better. One of those players, Jimmy Whitt, hasn’t attempted one three pointer all year. Arkansas’ best wins were at Georgia Tech by 1 in OT, at home vs Tulsa by 19 and at home vs Valpo by 4. Arkansas only loss was at Western Kentucky, losing in OT 86-79. According to different sites and looking at statistics, so far this season, Arkansas has one of the better defenses in the country, but of course, they haven’t really played anyone of note either. I think if we start by pounding it inside, get some fouls on them, and can hit 30% from 3 when they pack it in to stop our bigs, we win easily. With their scoring coming mainly from their guards, we have to defend the perimeter well (which I think we'll do), and our decisive advantage inside should allow us to win the board battle. And that's been our recipe for success so far Stay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 It will be interesting to see how Archie plays this one. I don't think it's what I would do, but I imagine we start big. It will be interesting to see how long he sticks with it. At some point that will give up a run. I'd love to see a lineup with Hunter at the 4. See if we can get some spacing, or maybe get Hunter going over a smaller man. I'm still holding on to hope that he can be a scorer. Seems like now is the time if it's going to happen this year.

If they are, won’t be more than 2 or 3...and that’s the number 2 team in the nation. bottom line, IU needs 8 conference wins at the minimum to get to 20 wins and the tourney. (Assuming they beat Arkansas) Which is a much better position than teams like Purdue, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, etc Purdue (assuming they win today) will need 12 conference wins to get to 20....that’s a daunting task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ice is off the water I am getting the boat out to go perch fishing. Two years ago under similar weather conditions we went and caught 46 large perch. In my opinion bluegill is the best eating with fresh caught perch right behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEKA Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Razorbacks just landed in Bloomington. If I had planned my day better, I would have found a spot along their route from the airport to their hotel and stared menacingly at their bus, thus assuring victory tomorrow.

I’m excited to say that my mother and I are going to be going over to see our cream and crimson in action in Sunday!!! I haven’t been to AH in years. My grandfather, an IU grad from the forties, and my link to IU basketball, passed away about four years ago and we plan on spreading some of his ashes on campus. Anyhow, thank for indulging my personal excitement...just really looking forward to being in Bloomington again. By the way: where should we have pre-game nosh? I will say that trying to find parking downtown is an absolute nightmare 24/7 365. I am in town now and gave up trying to go downtown and am going to BJ's brewhouse by college mall. Been there before and it is pretty good. Eclectic menu. Alot of good places to eat in Bloomington, parking sucks everywhere. P.S. Parking and traffic im Bloomington sucks. Rent a mini cooper.

The only strength they have that would concern me is forcing turnovers. They defend the 3 well? Good, I don't think we should be shooting many 3's anyway. They are not a good 3 point shooting team? Good, that should make the packline more effective. They are not a good rebounding team? Great, that should help us with second chances and keep them off the boards for second chances. I would like to see Phinisee, Green, Durham, Smith, and Jackson-Davis start. I doubt we see that but I think that would be a good line up to run at them.

Ham? BBQ pulled pork? I've been working on a bolognese sauce all afternoon. The recipe requires about 2.5 hours of simmer time. Will serve over some type of pasta and because I've been liberal with another type of "sauce" while watching basketball all afternoon, I may not make it past halftime. 🍸🥃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
