I hope that everyone slept well with a gut full of turkey and a swig or two from the gravy boat. Time for some basketball!!!!!!!

Go Hoosiers!!!!!!!!!!

I feel that the next several games will tell the rest of the season. Win or lose, need to see some effort on the defensive end. This team needs to respond.

(Know a few have asked before for this to be early in the Game Day Thread)

Biggest thing I want to see is if Holt can be better than what Perea has been. I've been incredibly underwhelmed by Perea especially on the D end. If we don't find a D option in the paint, kiss this season goodbye.

Troy needs to DIG in on D and play like a 4 instead of a 2.

Idk-we are just missing pieces. :(

Hopefully we smash these twerps! Ha

Hoo hoo hoo Hoosiers!

what makes u think holt will even get a chance?

[coonhounds 8,690]

This is probably the least excited I have been for a iu game ever. I only say this because the dissapointment is still here from last game and even a 30 point win tonight will do little to fix that. I will admit that a if they look solid on d and move the ball on offense it will however help.

I mean this kind of reminds me of the Jurkin comments I always read. I mean there has to be a reason why Jurkin didn't play and Holt isn't playing....... right. RIGHT?!

A win against Lville, Georgetown, or maybe even Butler will cure that

Pretty excited to watch Butler vs Georgetown at 2. That's been a great tourney to watch. Gives me plenty of time to get the proper beer to bourbon ratio for the IU game

Sadly, that's probably very true. I'd rather see it with my own eyes to be convinced but we must presume Hanner handles Holt in practice and that is why he is getting more PT.

However my trust in Crean has diminished I'd rather see for myself how bare the cupboards are than playing a guy 25+ ineffective minutes.

What makes this worse, I really want Hanner to get it together and be the guy but he has shown nothing this year. Defensive intelligence and aggressiveness are the keys. His offense has been mildly ok but tolerable, it's the D that's killing him/us.

I'm with you WayneFleek. Who cares if Perea really does anything on offense. Just freaking alter a few shots!!

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Would like to see April and Priller get some minutes today as well. Give them a chance to show what they can do.

Agree! We had better start building our Big bench NOW or we are in trouble when the Big Ten gets here.

 

 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Besides----we all want to see that shot-blocking and rebounding ability Holt was famous for in the NY area! 

 

No No No---Not in my house!   :nono:

We just need to substitute Holt in there.

Love it King!  Someone more tech savvy then me needs to add the Holt commercial---there is one on video from his high school days based on the above Mutombo commercial.

[crazywillie 192]

Need something to gwt excited about. This game wont do it though...a big win is expected anything else is yet another letdown.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Scouting report says UNC-Green does not go very deep on the bench after their starters----hopefully our speed and pace will wear them down and get them into foul trouble and this will get ugly early for them.
