IUFLA Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Where: Lucas Oil Stadium When: Thursday, March 11th @ 6:30 p.m. EST on BTN IU lost by 4 to them at home, and by 11 at the RAC. Myles Johnson is the best defensive big in the conference, and we know that when Baker and Harper have their confidence, they can bury you fast. I hope Armaan can play...that'll help, but we need good games from Rob and Al too...I'm not sure all 3 have played a good game together all year... Let's pull together and get a W here... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hopefully third time is a charm against Rutgers. We need to limit our turnovers as always so we don’t see another RU lay up line/dunk contest. Yes, Rob and Al both have to play well. I feel we need a special game from one of the freshman too. I don’t really care which one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna happen. I think Archie has lost the team and it won't be a pretty game. I hope I am wrong but I just don't see any enthusiasm or desire to win and no lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armaan is a gamer, but I very much doubt that he plays. He has the bad ankle that comes and goes and now he has the bone bruise on the other foot. I read achilles tendon was possibly involved. Really don't want to see him play. CAM also said he wasn't responding well. He's only been shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Just my small opinion. Shooting in an almost empty LOS is going to be a tad different. I say the same thing with each game with our team. TJD/Race heavy. 30 shots combined and hope we don't miss 7-8 layups....or 3-4 front ends of 1/1. Would love to see a run from us...just because how close we've been all year long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Without Race and Armaan, I'm guessing TJD, Hunter, Rob, Al, and Galloway to start... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Rutgers just isn't a good matchup for us. Probably one of the worst 3-4 matchups in the conference. Michigan, Purdue, and possibly Ohio State are probably the others. We actually may have been better getting the 11 seed. Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa to get to the semi-finals. Based on what happened during the regular season, that may have been doable. Edited March 10, 2021 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'd love to see Baker get in foul trouble where they have to bring in Montez Mathis...Baker is the key...they feed off of him...Mathis will shoot all day without hitting much...

I knew he had been playing with the nose and think he even had surgery on the nose and still played the Purdue game. Pork chop ordered up a few chops on him early in the game, kid should have been given a clear flagrant one for flying across the lane and forearming Race straight in the chest, right in front of the ref. That was not a basketball play. I'm always surprised with ankle injuries. I guess it is based on the individual and their history. One kid will turn it and you think, oh that's bad and he comes right back in and it's never mentioned again. Another kid, appears a small tweak and they are out 3 weeks. I've blown up my ankles so bad that a gruesome turn would be nothing for me, guess my ligaments are stretched out. It looked to me like Race was having the trainers tape him back up and he was going to give it a go, then he never came back in and I quit paying attention if he stayed on the bench or went to the locker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
