IU vs Rutgers Game thread

[Naturalhoosier 15,353]

Time for our boys to turn this bipolar fan-base back to the good side of things!!!!!  :) 

 

I'm hoping that we shoot the lights out and give Rutgers a healthy drubbing. 

 

GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!!!!

a 50 point drubbing of Rutgers won't turn the crowd. Love watching IU ball no matter what but this game is not capable of turning the crowd, unless we lose.

MSU just beat them by 20 on the road.

On that note, Go IU, crush the Knights and build some momentum for the upcoming Badger Doom.

Just wait, after we win there will be posters acting like we just beat a good team.  No they're not, actually they're awful.

the only posters that will do that r the ones who are already trying to convince everybody that every thing is ok. I can see us losing this game but if we can win and beat Wisconsin then we will b ok. I know impossible

After 2 straight losses we better be up for this game... I don't care if it is NJIT or whatever, after 2 losses in a row that we were not even competitive we better come out ready to play.... and don't let up, get a lead and instead of losing the lead extend it.... we better win by at least 30 if any of the fan base is going to be turned around...

we should have had that attitude at purdue but that didn't happen. I think we will respond today but wont be surprised to win by three and barely escape

I certainly hope we blow them out but I just don't see it.

  I'd like to see this team take control of a game early and buckle down defensively and not let the opponent hang around..

We have a bad habit of building leads and then becoming passive on D and overly aggressive and careless on offense.

 I know we maintained a large lead on the Terps but I think that was due in large part to our insane shooting %. We cant shoot like that on a regular basis so the defense has to get better.

Lets crush these guys and do it with good fundamental D.

Go Hoosiers

So has Virginia fans always called themselves the "Hoos"?!

Yes sir. Just get in and see what happens. Can't wait.

[ashmgee 193]

I just hope the Hoosiers can go out and get a decisive win and get some confidence back.

 

I think I have given up on this teams defensive capabilities, but we need to bring the rest of what we do well.

Crean has found a new platitude to try and sound intelligent with: 

 

 

“You just have to continue to move forward in everything that you do in this league,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said. “When you win, you’ve got to learn from that. When you lose, you’ve got to learn from that, and that’s the sign of a very good team, when you can continue to learn from those areas. We’ve got to continue to build a hunger that allows us to do that, and allows us to make progress and continue to move forward into whatever the next challenge is, and Rutgers is for us.”

 

 

Build a hunger…ah, so that's all this team needs! Does any coach talk more while saying less?

Couldn't have said it any better! I'm tired of it! Get em out!

Anyway let's not play down to this team today. I would like to see us play actual defense.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Let's go Hoosiers!! I'm going to admit, kind of broken as a fan currently with the program but I will always get behind these boys who are practicing their butt off and keeping up with classes. Let's show these knight's what Assembly Hall feels like on top of them!!

I want to see Hartman go for 20, Stan gain more confidence and play within himself, ziesloft get the ball dropping (after getting horrible calls on him) and then Holt rip off another 15 game.

Oh and please Troy, find a 10 or 15 foot jumper. Because if u dont, or offense is screwed. Last year all over again

More like bipolar basketball under Crean. Look good for a while look terrible for a while. Just went through a terrible spell I suspect we look good today.
