100% from the line!

[LIHoosier 25,013]

For better or worse, we may be in the bonus quick.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

four fouls against Portland State in the first 3 minutes.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

al with a nice coast to coast take leading to a Prt St timeout.  8-5 IU 16:24 (for those not able to watch/listen).

[JHoosier914 1,187]

we seem to be breaking the press decently.  Race with a bucket and a couple nice rebounds already.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Portland State staying in it from 2 threes by Hauser

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Race earning his minutes early. 4 points 3 reb

[JHoosier914 1,187]

refs like those whistles today.  8 combined fouls with 8 minutes of game time.

Do you expect to blow out a team in the first quarter of the game?  We've had good defense, gotten to the hoop and are drawing fouls on their guys.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Smith went up like a man on that baseline drive.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

defense is becoming a little weaker in last couple minutes.  Theyve gotten to the bucket on a couple consecutive possessions

Thanks for the updates JHoosier!

wow using the rim to protect the ball, haven't seen that too often in recent years

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Under 8 timeout, 26-22 hoosiers.  They have gotten 6 straight points at the rim.

 

Edit:  "They" = Portland State

[Ranger78 1,293]

IU needs to tighten up on the defense end. Way too easy for Portland State the last 4-5 times down.

The offense has looked stagnant and the defense is okay I guess. We are playing against Portland State. A team projected to finish 6th in the Big Sky. This shouldn’t be this close and you should be able to see the difference in talent and ability and it just isn’t showing right now.

The spread is also 20 points, not 40.  That takes time.  If we aren't up by about 10-12 at halftime, then I'll understand that we are playing "rough."  The offense has looked like a team figuring out a new teams defense and press.  Defense (for the most part) has looked solid.  Last couple of defensive possessions could definitely be better.

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Largest lead now at 8.  Shooting better from the line 8 - 11 with Race at the line now.
