IUDan93 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Despite offensive struggles the last 10 minutes of first half and missing 16 FTs, we looked like a team that can win itself into the tourney. I just pray that this isn't one of those one hit wonder games. CAM may want to chew them out after this so they don't get complacent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUCrazy2 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Good win, bring that energy every game and we are back on track. Kudos to Archie, his reported talk at the end of the Northwestern game appears to have paid off, if only for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier83 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yessss. Devonte, was clutch. Rob, made this team go though imo. Nice game fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUrocker Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hopefully this win and effort opens their eyes to showing themselves what can happen when they play a full 40. A lot more wins this way if they can buy in to knowing its what they have to do. Usually our losses happen with lack of effort, and they just proved what can happen when they give it their all and play for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoshenFan84 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Defense locked it down the last 10 minutes. OSU only 20 second half points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 That’s just a huge win in a lot of aspects. Great for the resume and gives us some nice momentum going into two road games. And allows the team and fanbase to not worry so much about falling into another slump... Big response coming off a week with some internal strife. Hope Phinisee is okay.

mrflynn03 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Being there was effing awesome. I hope it's not premature but whatever archie did worked totally different team. One thing I noticed is every time a player was subbed out they went down the entire bench giving out fives. Coaches and walkons and scholarship players. It really seems archie got through to them.

FKIM01 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Free throws aside, that was a nice effort. Surely OSU falls out of the Top 25 with that...been a rough week for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Ballin Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Much better than what we've seen the last few games!!! Ive got to get to my sons first ever basketball practice, but quickly.... Shooting better but still needs work. If we want to play small, JH is the key. Good game from him. Green is a walking heart attack for a coach. No idea what ull get from game to game. Build on today going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUwins0708 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Won by double digits, played hard, had decent Devonte most of the second half. Free throws and conditioning for Rob need to improve. Rob can’t sit long than a 5 minute game stretch. Proud of the whole crew. Archie’s message was received, now can we build on it? Don’t care at this moment going to enjoy this one until the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Others were saying bench Devonte regardless. I said I hope he gets the message, and if he does, let him play. If he doesn't, absolutely, bench him. I'm glad he chose the former. Yes, a few questionable plays, but he was noticeably more under control today.

BEKA Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Loved the energy and general team basketball today. Nearly everyone got involved and they were communicating and holding each other accountable. Everyone's attitude just seemed 1000% better than any time so far this year.

HoosierDom Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I'll never understand why more coaches don't call timeouts to try to stint a rough patch. I thought Archie should have taken one when we were giving up our lead early in the second half, but I REALLY thought Holtmann should have called one when we went up by 3 at the beginning of our big run. They had a lot of turn overs in a row, we were pushing the ball and getting in the paint and they so obviously needed to slow things down and reset. They didn't, they turned it over and things spiraled. Man, Brunk and a little bit of Thompson sure did a nice job on Wesson. I hate charges away from the ball. If I jump in front of you for no legitimate basketball reason other than creating a foul, even if I technically get there before you, how is that a foul on you?
