IUBB vs UT Arlington - Tues., 11/20 @ 7:00 ET

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,957]

Let's get the Arkansas game behind us and look optimistically for a win Tuesday night against the UT Arlington Mavericks.  Last year the Mavericks won 21 games and they're 3-1 for this season, but this year's team has 12 new players in addition to a new coach.  On Archie's radio show earlier this evening, he reiterated that Green and McR are likely not going to see action until December and Race still out of action as well.

Hopefully we have regrouped and worked on what we needed to after yesterday.

 I would love to see Forrester and or Moore get some significant run tonight.Our lack of a weakside defensive presence was on full display at Arkansas.Really need one of those kids to step up.

Will have to dvr this one, but we're favored by 24, so I won't be too uneasy waiting.

UT Arlington has not been bad so far this year, but they are quite notable for one particular attribute - they are small! I mean really, really small!!

FYI - Azore and Mwamba seem to be the only guys off their bench that get significant minutes. The five tiny starters plus the two 6'4"/6'5" freshman are the only ones averaging over 7 or 8 mpg.

Interesting nugget of info from thedailyhoosier.com     We are learning to play defense under Archie.

The Hoosiers are 7th in the country in three-point field goal defense.  Opponents are shooting 20.4% from long range.

After 4 games last year, Hoosier opponents were making 46.8 from long distance (44-of-94).  In addition, IU is limiting opponents to 59.0 points per game after allowing 76.0 points per game after the same number of games a season ago.

Sparing no concern for my personal safety, I was able to sneak into the Maverick's gym and secretly videotape a practice session.  We are all going to be in such a much better mood after tonight's game than we were Sunday night.

Recording the game. Our HSGirls open up the home portion of the season. I've been operating one of the stats panel for them for years.

That's why I'm missing the game :)  Columbus East is starting off strong (for us, lol), and my daughter is in pep band.  Pretty decent trade off!

I had to miss the Arkansas game to take my little guys to Jurassic Quest.  Haven't found the time to watch the game yet, probably won't!

 

Ready to watch the game tonight.  I really prefer watching the games at Assembly, too.

On my way home now. 40 minute drive (without traffic). If you are on my route, don’t be mad, just get the hell out of the way.

I don't recall, is that the same foot that sustained the achilles injury?  

[Stuhoo 75,564]

Oh lordy.

Not sure, but I did see him come down awkwardly late in the Arkansas game. Obviously he played through it but I imagine that flared up after the game.
