Game Thread - Iowa vs. YOUR Indiana Hoosiers (2/13 @8pm ET on BTN)

[RaceToTheTop 23,436]

Luka Garza played 39 minutes and 40 seconds.  Only sat for the last possession of the first half.

I can't tell if reporter meant "where is your mind when shots aren't falling".... Or if he was truly just being a total dick lol

Wondered the same. Obviously if Devonte knew the answer he’d fix it!

I’m guessing Doyle was the one that asked the question


This is the 4th time I’ve seen Garza score over 30 and Iowa lost. With Iowa take away the threes and let Garza get his. smiths defense on Weiscamp was huge

Doyle was my first thought. He’s an interesting character

He's a piece of s**t, change my mind

[theriverpilot 5,584]

Archie shedding some light here in his presser. Basically talking body language, focus, and effort, especially concerning Devonte.

Yes feel like Archie heard that question to Devonte and decided to dig in on it. Has talked a lot about Devonte and ensuring his mind is right and how down he gets on himself (gets in his own head).

As much as I don’t like Fran, I respect that he doesn’t pull an Izzo and complain about how well the other team played. He really give credit where it’s due.

Hawks have to turnaround and head to the Barn on Sunday...how much stamina does the big guy have.  What a performance, dude is scoring machine.

Enjoyed this game and enjoyed this effort. I wish for our sake and Greens sake he could be like this on a more regular basis.

 

Garza is unreal. We recruited him a bit. Never thought he’d be this good.

 

I predicted this win. Now we go lose on the road, and it all starts back up.

For teams, past differences in home and road performance are not useful in anticipating future differences in home and road performance.

Article I read on him basically said by all rights Maryland should have gotten him.  They thought he was too slow and didn't fit their program.

So I assume that Pom uses a generic average number for home advantage?

[Uspshoosier 44,145]

Heck of a recruiting story as well. Watched his special on the Journey and he was from the DC area and coached in high school by Lefty Driesell’s son. Lefty was Maryland coach for 19 years. His son asked Lefty to come watch Garza play as a junior. Lefty contacted Turgeon and coach K and told them they needed to sign him. He was told he wasn’t what they were looking for and too slow. Fran got in early because he saw him play at a Nike top 100 event where other coaches couldn’t attend. Fran could because his son was playing at the event. He offered after that. Heck of a story about a kid that put in the work and continues to put in work. Kid had surgery during the season last year to remove a sist the size of a basketball and came back and played that year

Great to get the win but we all knew we could win when Green goes off. But we can’t count on that. We have to learn to win other ways consistently. 
 

Really would like to get at least 2 of the next 5.

He's that kid that you just want to bag on, but damn it man......

[MikeRoberts 6,832]

Congrats to the team and coaching staff. There was a ton of pressure mounting and they didn’t cave. Need a lot more of it but enjoyed the game for a change

Been a low couple weeks, but consider this:

Saturday there’s a real possibility 1) ILL lose at Rutgers, and 2) Mich St. gets beat by Maryland.

Which would mean:

Entering our game at Michigan on Sunday, IU would be 1-game back in the loss column from a tie for 3rd place in the B1G.
