The fact the game is neck and neck with Davis on the bench since the 15 minute mark is AWESOME!

The team may not have a great record this year, but you can see how much better prepared this team is for this game than they ever were for a big game under Crean. Not this year, maybe not next year, but I feel very confident Archie Miller will consistently have IU in the conversation as a contender.

One observation through the 1st half, we are really bad at setting screens

Thanks for sharing! Was there, love being able to watch the TV broadcast a second time and see things I may have missed. Boy is this team exciting

Yeah I don't know, something about this doesn't really sit right with me. Obviously the University investigated and feels otherwise, but at least in the public eye it looks like Glass kind of screwed over Wilson for a few complaints that most every player has, probably to hold on to Coach Allen. Just my view

Tom Allen at HC, McCullough to OC?

He was just signed to an extension through 2021 in January. Must be conduct of some sort

Hope its nothing too embarrassing for the university

Wow. Makes no sense... must be something behind the scenes

Don't really think the argument that would lose the game away from home holds much water. We were winning by 10-13 points pretty consistently throughout the game. The question in my mind is whether they can bring that intensity without tons of screaming fans charging them up. I am surprised to see criticism of Newkirk, as from what I've seen he looks solid to me. Sure, he's not Yogi, but who is? I'm hopeful he will get up to speed as a result of non conference play and have improved decision making for conference play. Sort of related, while OG's ankle injury is obviously a bummer, the silver lining will be more playing time for Green, CUJO, Davis to get up to speed. There is still so so much room for this team to get better, you can see they're oozing potential. Of course, this is the year IU has a shot at the Final Four and I will be studying in Europe during conference season (first world problems). Go Hoosiers!

Great win! Still plenty of room to grow. The offense struggles way too often. We are slow on switching back off pick and rolls and gave up easy inside buckets. Side note, I thought JBJ did pretty well defensively tonight. FT shooting looks like a weakness so far. Deron is going to be great to give TB a break/complement him. Love these freshmen. ... And we just beat UNC. Fans were great, hope OG's ankle is good to go by B1G season.

We look like we belong, lets see if we can make these good spurts last a little longer in the 2nd half

Would be awesome

Excited for the home opener! Love college football

IU-21 FIU- 20

I know it makes more sense for them to switch to quarters, but I dunno. I like two halves. Puts more emphasis on momentum IMO

I think you're generally right, but the 2017 class so far, in my opinion, could be the one that sort of changes that momentum. Coming off a sweet 16, IUBB has a lot of momentum. Taking advantage of that by laying a foundation in Indiana would be huge win. Regardless, college basketball is cyclical and so I am less concerned with where the kids are coming from and more about the team composition. Without Yogi and Bryant now presumably being a (the?) focal point of the team, I'm interested to see how the style of play changes.

I think its pretty much been covered in that QB and defense are the big question marks... Looking at the schedule, IMO Should-be-Wins: FIU, Wake, Rutgers, Purdue, Maryland I assume Losses: OSU, NW, Michigan, PSU, MSU Toss ups: Ball state, Nebraska Ball State I think we should win but they always play us tough... It definitely won't be easy

Would be nice. Real nice

First game at night Sept 1 vs FIU! Interested to see how things shake out at QB. Hoping we can go into the night home game against Michigan State undefeated. Would be an electric atmosphere

Best of luck pappy! I really like the idea of this thread, but of course I do, because I'm a college student haha. I'm interning in New Jersey at a Fortune 500 company. Its mostly insurance, but I work in a supporting group that handles staffing management and sourcing strategy. Bachelors will be in Strategic Corporate Communications from IU. In the past I've interned at a PR firm in Manhattan. Hoping to intern at an Indianapolis PR firm in the fall. Would love any opportunity to work in IU athletics. Looking forward to what everyone has to share!

Awesome story! So ready for some college football

Freaked out for a minute when I thought that it was DeRon Davis. Better Houston than Purdue for Devin

What about it? What other students go on national television and build their school's brand and earn the school millions? I think its a fair trade. These kids get their education paid for and that is fantastic, yes. But the cost of that is eating up their time, time that they could be using to work a job like a lot of college kids.
