[Bailey7878 2,506]

I wish I felt good about tonight but I don't see us with much chance.  Hopefully Archie has them ready.

It's Iowa dude. Come on.

You posters that are negative about every damn thing that has to do with IU are killing me. I’m so tired of seeing you guys on here. “I don’t see us with much of a chance” vs Iowa at home? Come on man. What’s the point of even getting on the message boards

Right - we had a bad game against Michigan. Up to that point, we had been more or less building on each game and getting better. With these guys learning a new system, there are going to be good games and bad games. I'm sure the Duke game played a big part in it. I expect them to come out much more focused.

We have to generate points. We know Morgan is likely to show up and play—but at least 2 others must too. Deron and RoJo are the 2 most likely candidates right now. RoJo needs to become a high double figure scorer consistently for us and I still think he gets there. He has done a good job on D. Let’s go Hoosiers! Fear the Stripes! We could easily win by 10 tonight if we play with urgency and intensity!

Hopefully Justin Smith can get some run tonight!

We need some guys to knock down outside shots, especially the wide open ones we've been clanging off the rim recently. And by "outside shots", I don't mean the 18 ft two pointers we were so fond of taking vs Michigan.

I feel (entirely opinion) that CAM is more in tune with how his players will play, based on practice and overall "vibe".  Really hope, same as you, that Smith gets back on track soon- love watching him.

I believe we'll see a much more focused and motivated effort tonight, at home, against Iowa. This is not a linear process so we'll continue to see the ups and downs of the past few weeks.

On Iowa.. in the past they would try to run with IU and that didn't workout too well for them. Tonight, I expect Iowa to have a handful of unforced turnovers on the break that will give us extra possessions. They're not a team that does anything particularly well.

We need to attack inside out and value the ball. I'd like to see single digit turnovers with a healthy dose of Morgan and Davis down low. I'd also like to see the ball kicked out to open shooters when double teams come at our post players.

This game will be determined by turnovers, free throws, and DEFENSE. Let's keep walk on Baer from lighting us up from deep.

Get that first Big Ten win CAM and Co.!

Agree entirely with this. Coach Miller said in his post game presser that the guys who are playing well play and those that are not have to come out. I imagine that applies to practice as well. If someone is not practicing well, they aren't likely to see much game time whether we want them to or not. Honestly, I think we are still working through the buy in period.

It was the Iowa game a few years ago when the beam fell from the roof and smashed some chairs. Game was rescheduled. I really hope we can get a win tonight

Want to see Durham get some.more action. He kind of went quiet as I'm sure it's an adjustment with the comp level going up. Smith the same really. Gotta adjust to this speed.

And loving Rojo on defense (Michigan was just average) but dude has to turn it up in offense. Unfortunarely, he's just not that guy

Hopefully Newkirk doesn't throw up the S### that he's been calling a three point shot.

I don't want to ruin your day but Newkirk is our best 3 point shooter so far this season.

That's the problem...

Sadly, you are correct.

[goonaha 2,972]

40% from Newkirk is a good percentage. The problem is that it's driven mostly by a 5/6 3 point performance against Eastern Michigan. There's been no consistency.

In the category of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", there are reports that security personnel are telling people the game has been delayed until 9:00 - NOT TRUE - still set for 8:00 tipoff.

Off topic but I wonder how many understand your reference or know its origin. Well done, by the way.
