IUFLA Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I don't know, but I haven't got a good feeling for this game... On one hand, we've played more games (4 to their 1) against better competition, and we did beat them handily last year. On the other, they're big, athletic, experienced,(where have I heard this before?), its on the road, and a Leonard Hamilton team will always be well coached and play defense. I'd like to get Joey and Al back, but might be another primer game for the kids... BTW, I will NEVER pick against IU (told you I was the eternal optimist) so IU over FSU in a close one.

Parakeet Jones Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 It’s going to be tough for sure. Everything you said about FSU is true. A win would be huge. If we play well and come up a little short against a good team, I’d hate losing but it happens. If we shoot 20 something % and only score about 45 points, that will be much, much tougher to swallow.

Hoosierhoopster Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Strong team, all above is accurate. Good early measuring stick for lessons learned from Maui tourney. I’m betting we see Brunk. Interested in how that affects lineups — we still haven’t seen the team at full strength. Waiting to see Hunter get going, we’re going to need his real game.

Wasn't last year's game the one where Devonte went off for 30+ with his brother Danny in attendance at AH? That undoubtedly helped in a big way. He hit some 3's from downtown, as I recall.

Hippopotamo Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Florida State definitely seems like the type of team to give us trouble. It’ll be interesting to see if we can hang against a strong, physical team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just read up a bit on FSU. They’ve had some personnel turnover from last year, but some key guys are back too. They only have one double figure scorer back (MJ Walker). Barnes is a highly rated freshman. I feel a bit better about our chances after my reading. It will be tough but not impossible.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they are favored or it’s within a couple points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been starting a senior, 2 juniors, 2 sophomores. Overall roster experience FSU: 1.6 years, IU:1.2 years. Their average height is 6'8" ours is 6'5".

Definitely. Still thinking IU with some rest is going to take it. Reminds me of the game at Minny last year. Stating the obvious here, but Not having fans at home will hurt us some - but is definitely going to help on road - especially with IUs freshmen getting a lot of PT.

Is it confirmed that they won't have fans? I thought Desantis had opened things up down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU will be a tough match up for IU, however, unlike the Texas game, CAM has had a week to prepare for this contest. I for one am glad to see the Hoosiers playing against good competition early. Hopefully it helps this team develop in the long run. I am expecting a hard fought, close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Trayce and Race cant do it all. Those 2 have pretty much been the offensive production. Defense has been solid but have got to get some perimeter shooting going. I like that Lander isnt timid but he has got to get more shots to drop. Keep shooting, it will happen. And Rob? Shoot the ball, c'mon man you can hit it. Galloway looks to be playing well but he needs to get more involved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
