bstall76 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Great win, great d. 12-22 from the free throw line very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 When the O catches up with the D.... Worth adding -- This is the NW team / staff that often out coached us under Crean. I'm not as down on Crean as many, but it was refreshing to watch a very well-coached game dismantle a good NW team, even if they're underperforming, that was a legit beatdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The second half offense made us forget the pain of the first half offense. Overall smarter play, for the most part. And something to build off from 3, hopefully. I thought we showed some impressive footwork (RoJo, Al) and quick hands on D (Green.) Where have THESE guys been hiding? Glad to see them show out today. Great win on national TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Loved our defense. Loved that we found a way to lead at halftime despite foul trouble. Loved how we pounded them in the second half. We had a lot of good ball movement leading to good looks. We completely carved up their zone.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Need to stop with the tournament talk though. We have to rack up wins against MSU, Purdue and OSU to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Not a huge deal, but a win like this should help us out in KenPom quite a bit, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 46 points is the fewest we’ve given up since a 56-46 win over Illinois in January 2014. Funny that it felt like we hit a ton of threes and still didn’t even hit 35% for the game (8-23). Awesome game to watch. Who would have thought that a third of the way through the conference season we would be tied with MSU in the standings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Awesome, awesome win. Our offense is definitely a work in progress. Morgan have to stay out of foul trouble going forward. RoJo knocked down shots with confidence; I could see it in his face. He needs to get that going. I was impressed with how McBob plays and his great awareness and quickness. Defense was great today. Any time we see Priller out there it means we're having a great game. Go Hoosiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Newkirk was excellent defensively on BM. I thought he set the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so much better against a zone than we have been in years past. Put Morgan or Hartman in the middle and they "carve it up" as you said.

Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 KenPom had Illinois ahead of us before this game. I don't give much credence to his formulas. Almost as bad as Lunardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you isolate out two games we would be in the 40s or 50s and everything else would make a bit more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing though, that demonstrates a faulty formula. he has repeatedly picked us to lose or in this game to barely squeak by NW. Focusing on a statistical basis on a couple of games is a poor foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
