Exhibition Game Thread: UIndy - Sunday, Nov. 5

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,149]

Yeah, I know it's really early to start this thread, but I saw this article on UIndy and thought it was a good way to kick this thread off.

INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men's basketball finds itself in another preseason top-20 poll, as Basketball Times released its rankings on Friday afternoon. The Greyhounds, after being named the preseason No. 19 team by the DII bulletin earlier this month, is ranked No. 15 in the Basketball Times NCAA Division II poll.

UIndy is a really nice school- my oldest daughter will be attending there.  We took a tour (walking), and went to each building on campus in less than 1.5 hours, lol.  You can't make it through the Union at IU in that time!  But, UIndy has a great coach, should put up more resistance than Marian.  My daughter is mad at me since I won't wear anything UIndy tomorrow!

Yep, nice school.  Lots of happy alums from there.

I'll admit, I didn't know/consider that they were Division II.  So I saw your list of accomplishments and it gave me a minute of pause.  How the heck did I not know about all the NCAA success?  Nevermind!!  D-2.  

I can't wait to watch the game.  Just a little tidbit for everyone discussing starting line-ups...  Please refer to Archie's comments on the radio show.  (I didn't listen, just got the recap from ITH.)  Basically Archie isn't a fan of announcing the starting line-up.  Instead he preferred, at Dayton, to announce starters in the huddle before the game.  I don't think he considers starting as important as which players get minutes as the game goes.  Also, the point of this stuff isn't necessarily to play our absolute best.  He's still learning the team, and so line-ups are more experiments than anything.

My hopes:

- Justin Smith gets an alley-oop or put-back jam.  Clifton gets 3 blocks.  Al gets another ice bath.  

- RoJo finds his shot.  Yeesh.

- We start identifying patterns on offense and defense.  Somebody posted a video of Archie's offensive system recently, showing how the point guard shows the other 4 what they're going to do based on his first basketball move:  Flip, Spin, Through.  Really interesting.  You could absolutely see the PGs doing that against Marian.  Video posted below.  Watch for some of this Sunday.  He talks about "working the pairs."  So one ball handler, the other four split into pairs with screens, movement.  I think we'll still be a mess during the non-conference games, but it will clean up.

- No injuries.  Please.

Great school. I almost went there (twice!) but never pulled the trigger. Outstanding athletic facilities thanks to the Giants using UIndy while practicing for the Super Bowl.

Changed names but not mascots. My HS coach played there and a teammate signed with them.

You know one thing I have been content with? We have yet to hear one of our exhibition opponents could win the B1G and make a tournament run. They have their uses and those are stated.

@bladner_: Archie Miller said Collin Hartman will probably play on Sunday against Indianapolis, hopeful that Al Durham will as well. #iubb

• UIndy enters the season ranked 15th (Basketball Times) and 19th (DII Bulletin)  in NCAA Division II Preseason Polls  and is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

•  UIndy senior forward Alex Etherington is the brother of former Hoosier Austin Etherington.

Game Day--Fire Up Hoosiers! Can't wait to see Collin and Al in their first 2017 action...interesting to hear Archie talk about going small at times with 3 guards and Collin and Juwan inside. I remember when Collin got some post time in the past --another wrinkle we can throw at teams when our bigs are struggling.

IU just issued a tornado warning for both Assembly Hall and Armstrong Stadium. The soccer game is definitely off for awhile, wonder if the basketball game will be delayed too.
