milehiiu Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 And the reason or reasons why. Notre Dame or Minnesota ? Keep in mind there are no right or wrong answers. Just want to hear what HSN 3.0 thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefftheref Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Minnesota. I think the coming out of Smith and Robert Johnson will pay more dividends than the Notre Dame win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I was thinking about this last night and I settled on Minnesota. We were short handed plus it was on the road in a place historically tough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Easy for me, Minnesota. The win against ND was nice because it was against at that time, a ranked team. But any time you can get a W in conference play, it's big and might help for seeding in the BTT....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hard to say. As of today I would say ND because it was more of a “national” win. ND was ranked and it was a neutral court sort of showcase type of win. I’d reserve the right to change my mind if the Minny win, with RoJo and Smith breaking out, turns into some type of season turning win where we go on a Big Ten run and finish strong. Remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 At present I say Minny. But come the end of the year it very well might be ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Notre Dame was a much better team. Minnesota was a road game. Hard to pick. Since we aren’t going to the dance, I’ll say Minnesota since it affects our conference standing. Notre Dame would look better on our tournament resume, if we had one.

Guest Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm BGleas on this one. As this was a national game, beating ND not only was a great win for the program but it also was a great commercial for Archie and the program to current and future recruits.

FWIUFan Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Based on the season thus far I would have to say the upcoming NW game. Team needs to show consistency before I can say we've turned the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I love about HSN 3.0. Great discussions. Great debates. And Great members offering up their thoughts in a civil manner with no concern that they will get attacked for offering up their thoughts.

Hoosrnight Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I say Minny. yes ND was ranked, but after the way we played at Wisconsin, no one thought we stood a chance. About the only place we place worse than The Barn is Kohl. This COULD be the game that turns things around, hopefully Rob can play like that more.

IUalum Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Minny, for now. The blush disappeared from the ND win as soon as the team got blitzed by IPFW. No time to savor the win. If we hold off Penn St. and start a trend of hard nosed basketball, this will be the win to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Daddy 4 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Minnesota. Another road game after Wisconsin second half was not a game we usually win. Great effort when it counted in last few minutes. Loved the ND win but winning a Crossroads Classic game will never mean much. Win and we were supposed to and lose and how could you.

Leathernecks Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm going to be a rebel and go with Iowa. I know they aren't very good this year, but that is our best team win to date. Against ND, Juwan Morgan had the hand of God up his a$$ the last 10 minutes. He was unbelievable and carried the team to the win. Against Minn, RoJo and Smith both had career highs. Both of those wins were led by individuals and not the team. Pitino also sucks, and I think Minnesota is going to fall off the face of the Earth the rest of the season. I want to see another win like Iowa but against a better team. In the Iowa game, we had Morgan - 15 pts, 10 rebounds Davis - 13, 6, 4 blocks Hartman - 13, 5, 2 assists Green - 12, 4 assists, 2 TO RoJo - 9, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 TO Team totals - Blocks - 6 Steals - 11 Turnovers - 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm going to differentiate between 'impressive' and 'important. I think Notre Dame was clearly the more impressive win. We just played better in that game and Notre Dame was the better team even before Minnesota became short-handed. As far as 'important' is concerned, I think that's debatable. Conference road wins are always gold, but so are nationally televised games against name-brand opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate what you mods do, even the grumpy one(s) I admit to being a man. As well as admitting to being old. I refuse to admitting to admitting being a grumpy old man..... LOL. Even as trying as this season has been..... I have really been attempted to be as positive as one can be. Understanding that our players are real people, with families and feelings of their own. And knowing, first hand that they do in fact read our board. (P.M's are my friend). Allowing and understanding the frustrations. But not participating. Not picking on you.... just making sure, where our members understand in terms of me. OK.. Taking my Crimson glasses off for now. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Notre Dame will look better on resume as season goes on but I'll stick with Minnesota. A road win changes mindsets of players. Having 2 key players out and win on the road after a deflating loss vs Wisconsin. Huge for this team. 1st year coach,etc...reinforces what they guys are hearing will work if they do it. Now we come home. Students back. AH will be amped up for the first time in well over a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
