Up to #20 on KenPom, defense is 15th!

Men's hoops: 6-0 Women's hoops: 6-0 Football: 11-0

Seems to me we've seen positive half time adjustments in virtually every game we've played thus far.

Coach had a good game plan on Haggerty. It’s nice to see a plan and follow through. How refreshing.

This group of guys have yet to lose together - not a game or a preseason exhibition. Feels great having a men's basketball team that's about winning in Bloomington again.

I LOVE MODERN OFFENSE!! All of those open basket cuts by our bigs are a direct reflection of KState desperately trying to deny the three. Get used to it y’all; the Archie/Woody slog of an offense is GONE. We just had a five minute scoring drought and still scored 39 that half. THANK GOODNESS THE SUFFERING IS OVER

The IU shot chart against K State is another gawddddamnn thing of beauty:

I can't wait for him to annoy the amish boy

From the KSU message board. When was the last time we had a player that will consistently get this 'allegedly negative' but completely complimentary reaction from opposing fans... maybe WIll Sheehey? Connor Enright is the kind of kid that helps in one very key statistical category: won/lost record.

Bailey is really fast, weak with the ball, The most athletic player on the roster, and makes some bad decisions.

That's a really solid non-conference resume win, especially given the margin of victory. I thought DeVries did an excellent coaching job the last 5 or so minutes of the first half going back to Tucker and Alexis offense for defense to stretch the lead back out. Many coaches would have just sat them the rest of the half.

Conner is going to be one of the most hated players in the B1G this season....most loved by IU fans though!

Bailey heard you guys ragging on him and he just said "bite me!"

Post-game one of the IU players said Enright had been talking non-stop about guarding Haggerty the previous three days. He may get overmatched at some point but he is a “dog” and quickly becoming my favorite player. Quick, name our gritty “dog” last year……The correct answer is: no one.

We got a ball coach

Bailey has pulled out the uno reverse card in the 2nd half.

If you read this thread there is no way you would think we have a 12 point lead over a #40ish team in Kenpom right now. Lol. Great start and end to the half. Just need to eliminate that horrid middle of the half lull.

Bailey looked good on that little run for IU. That being said, he was on the bench.

Enright is like that every minute of every game. Love that kid.

Last night really sold me on him as a high-level perimeter defender. Not JUST that he gave Haggerty the business but the way it happened: TOs, not getting to his spots or having space to shoot, giving up ~3 inches to a legit high-major scorer/all-american caliber player.

Delete the app and thank yourself later :)

Honestly, a heckuva defensive performance. Bright future ahead

17 point lead and DeVries hasn't scored

Okay you Woody scheme guys. That’s not how it is anymore! BOMBS AWAY BOYS. Plenty enough will go in.

Because every cbb game ends within 2 hours always. We don't have nearly 100 years of experience to suggest otherwise.

I had about 7 drinks at our Christmas tree decorating event, so I’m giving (begging) mods full permission to delete anything I post after 9pm if the game goes south. Go Hoosiers!

Say it again for the people in the back

New NBC interview with Cig. 17 min long. Good questions were asked. Great stuff as usual. I’d note two things: - He talks about how much he loves it here and how he views it as “ours” and something “we’ve created” and he couldn’t imagine leaving. - Cig says he was a RMK fan. What a guy…

lol just got an email, Homefield is selling this...

There's a rumor out there that Fox wanted to move the Michigan-O$U football game to 3:30 p.m. so it wouldn't have to compete against IU-BCU hoops. (Of course, I created that rumor ...)

6-0 coming off a really strong performance at home against Kansas State. Bethune Cookman this Saturday should be a win. Then Minnesota in our first conference game a week from today. We should go into the Louisville game in Indy 8-0. Will be a tough match up but should be a great environment. 3 days after that we play Penn State. And 4 days later we play Kentucky. That game looks increasingly winnable. Then we'll play Chicago State (very sugary cupcake) and Siena (regular cupcake) before we're in the thick of conference season. We could/should be 11-2 or 12-1 at that point. I felt like this team had a wide range of outcomes in the preseason. I'm really encouraged by what we've seen. Hopefully that translates come the spring portal, but we will get to really enjoy IUBB this year for the first time in a while. Shades of early 2000s UF, with football rolling and basketball seemingly on the right track. Great time to be a Hoosier.

So refreshing to listen to a presser of a coach that actually analyzes the game and can communicate that he understands in real time what is happening on the floor. Doesn’t need to “look at the film” or provide endless basketball cliches.

I hate that I have to hate Bennet Stirtz.

Watching him in the Valley during his Drake days I came to respect his game. Just plays hard. The year Drake beat ISU in the MVC finals it was Enright who buried a 3 that sealed that win over the sycamores. That game was a battle

There are going to be games where we are down like 12 and yam a bunch of threes to tie or lead this year and I am so here for it.

Just watched the last couple of minutes. Is Bailey our best big man since Zeller or Allan Henderson?

You can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him.

Bailey with the strong finish. Dude's a BEAST!

Trent Sisley is a freshman born and raised in Indiana...he is going to be so freaking good when he is a senior!

May as well get it over with and start the thread

I hung my head after the start he had.

I’m proud to say that I’m yelling the players names now without looking at the roster. I’m starting to know this team.

Enright is a different player so far this game. Fighting like hell, passing well, and just hustling all around love to see it!

Sorry but the lavender uniforms are hideous!

I like that we're shooting 3's. I'd like it more if we were hitting them.

Sisley is versatile and smart. Does a bit of everything. Rebounds, dunks, shoots well, can put it on the floor, making good reads. Gotta admit Enright is proving his worth. I’m glad he was taking some of those open 3’s tonight and hit a couple. He’s gotta be wiling to take them. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

If we can hover around 20 on Kenpom all year it should be easy to get the donors to open up

Love how into it the bench has been tonight!
