    Who is IUs GOAT?

    To be the Goat you would have had to win a Championship. While that narrows it down it’s still tough. I would go with Alford barely edging out May.

    IU versus Duke Pre-game Thread

    For us to have any chance Davis must stay out of foul trouble. Josh and Rob need to continue to play better. I was encouraged by the last game. AH must be raucous! Duke is loaded but as mentioned earlier that travel schedule is brutal. I’m not saying a W is impossible but it’s a very tall task. I expect us to compete and play hard.

    Poll: Archie Miller

    Good Hire. He's young and hungry. Hoops lifer and son of a coach. His teams play hard and DEFEND, you know that thing where you try to stop the other team from scoring. He is well respected by his peers. I'm very optimistic. #GoHoosiers

    Really? To me Davis is way better than Holt. It's not close.

    NU was mentioned, they have a pretty good coach who has stated his respect for Indiana's love of basketball. #justsayin

    IU vs Michigan Game Thread - Sunday 2/12 @ 1:00 ET

    Just an awful performance. With everything on the line we were beyond flat. It seems like rojo and JBJ have checked out. I've tried to be supportive of CTC, but I'm done. This is not and has not been iubb. I hope the frosh don't xfer when they can him. My lineup next time out would be DD, DG, JK, JM and TB.

    IU VS. PURDUE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD (7 PM ET ESPN2)

    Rojo has lost all confidence and it shows. Our frosh guards were awful. We get Biggie to 4 fouls then stop attacking him? The refs were terrible. McRoberts and McSwain played hard. Turned them over, but could never capitalize. Unless we make a miracle run in the B1G tourney, we are NIT bound...and deservingly so. #bummed Go Hoosiers!

    Josh Newkirk

    His O has improved greatly, but that bad/lazy pass attempt to Deron that led to the Happ dunk killed us. That was really bad.
  11. Sorry if this has been addressed, where's Priller?

    IU @ Maryland Official Game Thread 9PM ET on ESPN

    As mentioned earlier, all the momentum that TB and OG finished with last year has disappeared. Granted OG has been hurt, but he looks like a different player. Timid and TO prone. TB is soft, other BIgs eat his lunch. DD is far better down low. TURNOVERS..... somehow someway we must fix this. Guys get to the rim on us to easy, the play to end the first half was just awful. So bummed right now.

    IUMBB vs Wisconsin - Game Thread - 1/3/17

    Awful start, decent middle, awful finish. I can't even with these TOs, they are killing us. While watching our "offense" I was like coach knows WE'RE down 7 right? I've given JN the benefit of doubt, no more. He is not ready for prime time. Freddie try's hard, but no thank you. McRoberts defends well but no O. DD is a better player than TB, period, he must start. OG has clearly lost the momentum he had last year, passive, turnover machine. To say rojo is in a slump would be an understatement, I don't know that I've seen a worse interior passer. TB act is wearing thin, Happ destroyed him. Why JBJ was on the bench when we needed him most was ridiculous. CTC was terrible tonight, it was really obvious. More cujo, and green, less JN, FM, and JMc. Hoping for better results against Illinois. Go Hoosiers!

    First game at The Hall....Suggestions?

    Nicks English Hut is a must. Cook Hall is awesome. Enjoy your first game in AH!

    Indiana vs Louisville Game Thread

    I to have noticed James improved effort on defense. He is moving his feet much better, in particular there was a late play against the Huskers in front of their bench where he had his hands up and feet moving and got called for s bogus foul. There is NO WAY we are a better team without him. We need to run more sets and screens for him to get his shot off. Someone earlier made a Eric Gordon comparison, not close EJ way bigger and stronger, overall much better player.

    Indiana vs Louisville Game Thread

    U of L is legit. Having said that we HAVE to cut down these turnovers. Rojo was awful today. He has terrible turnovers EVERY game. Juwan and De Ron were bright spots. OG seemed more aggressive, I think he got the message. TB is soft, and cujo was really shaky. I've tried hard to root for Josh but he makes it really hard. We are at our best when we attack the rim not dribbling the shot clock away and hoping for the best. We have all the pieces, just need to fit them all together. This post brought to you by fireball and natty lights. Go Hoosiers!

    IU OVER unc POST GAME THREAD

    Who was the idiot that called rojo a glorified Stan Robinson...oh wait that was me. Tonight he played a terrific game on both ends of the floor. De'ron Davis was also a bright spot, clutch minutes. If we are going to reach our potential, we have to get TB more touches in the paint. I've been on the Newkirk bandwagon from the jump and he is proving me right. I'm hoping cujo and Green can log some quality minutes to build their confidence. JBJ has a much better approach this year, hustling for loose balls and trying to play defense. When we need a big shot he wants the ball. KU and UNC dubs in our back pocket, let's keep it rolling. Go Hoosiers!

    Is the game not on T.V. today?

    Invest in a chromecast or fire stick, then stream from WatchESPN app. Best $35 bucks I ever spent

    IPFW Post Game Thread

    Bottom line FW came to play, we didn't. Turnovers at inopportune time hurt us. I know I'll get flamed for this but at times Rojo reminds me of a glorified Stan Robinson. As one of our more experienced players he needs to be way more consistent. Missed oppurtinities at the FT line also a problem. Our transition D is awful, I could get to the rim on these guys and I'm old and fat. I'm in the minority on this but I like Newkirk, he is our best bet at PG. McRoberts was a bright spot. It's only one loss and a win over UNC will get us back on track. There are lots of pieces to this puzzle, if CTC can fit them all together we have a chance to be really good. Go Hoosiers!

    Umass Lowell - Indiana Postgame Thread

    Overall good effort. Thought Green had some nice moments, two beautiful passes. Newkirk looks better each time out, good to see him hit a 3. Davis has the potential to be really good, I like him and TB on the court at the same time. Rojo and Cujo came down to earth a little but were steady. I def think Freddie can be a plus come conference time. Buckets was buckets, his lack of D is something we just have to live with. Why don't we press more (at all) with our depth, length and athleticism we could force teams to play at our pace. So far so good! Go Hoosiers!

    #11 Indiana v. #3 Kansas - Postgame Thread

    Great team win. A+ effort all around. TB has a motor and was running the floor. OG is going to have a special year. The frosh played with poise and confidence. Gave up way to many layups, we made Mason look like D Wade. Morgan had a fantastic game, and jimmy buckets looked like well, jimmy buckets. Newkirk was a little off but I feel comfortable when he handles the ball, dude is yoked. He will be good. I can't wait to get UNC in Assembly Hall. Go Hoosiers!

    Hope College BTN plus- first exhibition

    A little sloppy but overall pretty good. If OG can hit that 3 he will be really hard to guard. Green and Jones played well. To me Davis seems really slow, but plays hard.
  23. I can't like this enough! I said I wouldn't say this again but I am. We offered this kid scholarship and he accepted! He's a Hoosier! Nobody is more engaged from the bench than him. I would be willing to bet his teammates love him. There are many ways to affect a team and a program besides points and rebounds. I really hope he is here another 2 years and can be a senior leader. #TeamPriller #GoHoosiers

    Yogi Ferrell Appreciation Thread

    Yogi, There are no words to describe how much I've enjoyed watching you play. You exemplify what being a Hoosier player should be. I hope the progress you've made on the court these last four years is only surpassed by your growth as a man. Your legacy is one of winning and leadership, your name will forever be mentioned as one of the GREATS! Good luck and God bless.
