Big time Bounce back game!   IU 94 Neb 77

Nice 3 by Max, I know Davis can't guard him out there... But he looks very tentative to shoot inside, passed up two good interior looks already

Very scary with TB recent early foul issues... I think this is a smart move by Crean but can see a scenario that it bites us in the arse....

Just trying to give myself positive thoughts prior to the game.....

Just speculation on my part, I don't follow MSU but regardless how athletic I can't imagine him being able to stay in front of Troy or Collin outside, especially Collin, respecting his shot and still being and to stay in front of his drive

Well I feel "good" Troy or Hartman either one would have their way with Davis... So that is a plus match up for us!!

So you see Davis guarding Hartman then?

But can Costello guard Hartman? And is that the matchup we are going to see?

Just looking at this on the ESPN APP... It shows that time but it also shows 3/5 TBD so I wasn't sure if it was really set.. Could it still be Saturday but if it's Sunday it will be 4:30? Also may be late on this but saw the Purdue time is 8:30

Costello is a tough match up for us, but if it's Hartman I don't think Costello can guard him when we have the ball...

No actually a foul on SC was called in the play... And he still went off, I think he felt SC was being too physical on the offensive boards.

I don't mind him being put in the game in that situation but he needs to be told, go do your thing and if you foul so be it.... Going in and playing tentative and worrying more about not fouling that playing defense or getting rebounds is completely pointless.

I don't see him pulling the Hockey subs but I still do see the Pulling a Player at the wrong time (of course that is my opinion of the Wrong Time), or not pulling a player when I think he should.   It also seems like instead of subbing 4 or 5 at once he just subs 2 but does it more frequently, still don't see the same lineup stay on the floor together for extended periods of time usually..

Crib sheets for the student section tonight... Hope that plus big game atmosphere, plus crowdies gets everybody loud all night Check out @Matt_Robinson91's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Matt_Robinson91/status/697950653713350656?s=09

I may have to rewatch to verify but if my memory is correct they were especially tough on RoJo from the opening tip... I believe he got the ball on the first pass and it was immediately extra loud ... sounded like BOOOO on the TV but they could have been chanting something else...

They got something against RoJo? Especially loud boos every time he had the ball it seemed.

if proven that the coach knew I agree... Also think current players involved should be held accountable even if they are at a different program... If they accepted the benefits they need to have their eligibility revoked at least for some period of time... Suspend all involved if they're still in the college system anywhere, and then punish the university into the future.

Not quite the same in my opinion... Maybe I'm wrong... Has anybody forgotten the Fab 5? Although they never existed?

I get what you are saying but what good does vacating wins do? Even if they determined the championship was these players and they vacate the season, everybody still remembers, coach was still paid, you can't change the past... In my opinion you can only punish the future... Scholarship reductions, fines, bans, coach suspensions etc... But gotta start them in the future, not 2/3 through the season

I am guessing/hearing Post Season Ban.... That would be 2 good teams (SMU) with no chance in the Tourney this year in a year when anybody could potentially get on a streak and win it all....

I understand what you are saying, basically there is a game winning shot in every single game... Whoever hits the shot that gives a team more than the other team ends up scoring... But that could go for a 35 point blowout as well and nobody would say that counts as a clutch shot. I'm honestly surprised it was Melo's first as he would come to mind for me as a clutch player (although I don't watch many Maryland games)... It just goes to show how quickly a perception could change... If Yogi were to hit just 1 he may be considered clutch by more people... I'd prefer more than 1 but the first one is the important one and he is running out of games to do it... Hopefully he has another chance and buries it
