Seeking6 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Had to go back and watch a few youtube videos vs Duke. Obviously 2002 and Marco game in 2005. Our fans are so friggin awesome it's hard to pick which of the 7 or 8 games that equaled a jet taking off inside of AH. But when Marco dunked at 7 something minute mark I thought the arena would explode. At one point I know that was the loudest AH ever has been. I'll match us up against anyone. Shoot....the loudest Rupp Arena has ever been was the game vs Duke and E8 game vs Kent St when we played there. Hoping for a moment the guys get a good start and let Duke players know their entire little gym is the same size as our student section on Wednesday. Edit: Always forget that Antonio Gates played for Kent St in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a bit of Dane Fife and that led me to daydreaming about bottling that passion and drive he and so many others had and distributing it to every IU team in the future. And bottling that crowd noise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have various levels of fandom but when I need a pick me up on treadmill or outside when running.....I throw the Don Fischer/Todd Leary call on for a quick 4-5 minute burst. Still one of the best games I ever watched considering what Duke had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about the UK game on 12/10/2011. I think it will be more comparable to game against the John Wall Kentucky team. At least in 2011 we had 2 top 5 draft picks. We don't have anyone even close this season. We don't even have a Watford or Hulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bad team when we played Wall's UK team. But what we have today is definitely better than that team. hmm...I remember Mo Creek scored like 31 points in that game. Not sure if we have anyone who can do that kind of damage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Borzello's (espn) prediction of the game Duke Blue Devils at Indiana Hoosiers (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) "This is a tough spot for Archie Miller's Challenge debut -- against the most talented team in the country. It's going to take at least a year for the Hoosiers to turn it around, but can they make Duke sweat in Bloomington? They'll have to make shots from the perimeter against the zone." http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/21579304/picking-every-game-year-big-ten-acc-challenge Hard to fault, but I wonder about the perimeter shots comment. Have to make some, but think we'll see the team continue to seek to break the zone by going inside, as in Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing zone in the last 2 games and having prepared for that, I am not too worried about Dukes zone. Especially if Collin plays 20+ minutes. I think we are much better equipped to bust a zone and run half court offense than in years past. Yes, we will need hot shooting, low turnovers, transition D, Davis staying on the court and more but I think we hang with them for the most part. Just hope we can keep them from a big run that breaks the game open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Still tons of tickets left on Stubhub, and prices have dropped dramatically. Decent seats for 70-100 bucks! https://www.stubhub.com/indiana-hoosiers-basketball-tickets-indiana-hoosiers-basketball-bloomington-assembly-hall-in-11-29-2017/event/103070966/?sort=price+asc Probably the best deal I see is two seats in Row 19, Section G for $90 a piece. There are, of course, cheaper tickets for further back rows/balcony. These seemed like the best bang for the buck that I was able to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen will go off a long with Carter and Bagley. I'm rooting against me like hell but this is the way I see it playing out. We can only hope with all of there play and travel they come in with no legs under them and are sluggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke is not a good perimeter shooting team which is our biggest weakness defensively. If we continue to limit turnovers we will be in it until the end IMO.
