Class of '66 Old Fart

Down 23 - 10; tough first Q.  Only made 4 of 18 shots and MD made 10 of 18.  Also very badly out-rebounded.

Jeff Rabjohns ‏@JeffRabjohns 5m5 minutes ago Multiple NBA scouts at today's Indiana-Minnesota game. Troy Williams, Thomas Bryant, Yogi Ferrell, others getting evaluated.

Gophers senior guard Carlos Morris did not make the trip to Bloomington, the team announced today. He's back home in Florida, attending the funeral of a family friend.  Averages 10.4/game and 4 reb /game.

I think we'll know before the first media timeout.  If he starts out playing under control I think we see the good Troy.  If he's running around like a chicken with its head cut off to start the game; look out.

You let a rookie solo and he fails to give you the link to the game stats:  http://www.umterps.com/liveStats/liveStats.dbml   You kids today!   :angry:

After a rough 3rd Q, the Ladies dug in their heels and remain undefeated at home this season with a solid 64 - 48 win over Rutgers.  Only shot 34% from the floor but they were 10 of 23 on 3's and 18 of 20 from the foul line.  The won the rebounding battle 40 - 29.   Buss with 24 pts., 4 assists and 7 reb. and after a couple of rough outings only had 2 TO's tonight.  McBride and Cahill with 12 each.  Buss and Cahill with 7 reb. each; Anderson with 6.  Royster solid contribution off the bench with 6 reb. and 4 pts. in 13 minutes of action.   Good job Ladies!

Rutgers came out firing in the 3rd Q and have made it a ballgame but our Lady Hoosiers are still leading 45 -38.  Buss with 20 pts.; Anderson 7; McBride 6.  Still only shooting 29% from the floor but have hit 7 of 17 on 3's and 14 of 16 free throws.  Anderson has attempted 8 free throws by herself; Rutgers as a team has only 9 attempts.  [Didn't we just see something similar last night?]

Strong 2nd Q for our Ladies and at the half they lead 31 - 17.  Shooting up to 29%; controlling the boards by a 21 - 14 margin and taking care of the ball with only 6 TO's while Rutgers has committed 11.  8 assists on 8 made shots -- if only the men could have been half that good last night!!  And the ladies are 10 for 10 from the foul line.  Buss with 16 pts. (4 3-pointers) and 4 reb.; 6 pts. for Anderson; Gassion 4 reb.

The Scarlet O'Hara's Johannson's Letter's Knights (12- 8) (3 - 5) visit Assembly Hall.  The Lady Hoosiers (12 -8) (4 - 4) are 8-0 in games played in Assembly Hall this year, making them the only team in the Big Ten with an unblemished home record this season.  It is the second time in three years that IU has won its first eight home games of the season.   Tyra Buss has scored in double figures in every game this season and in 24 straight games dating back to last year, the longest such streak for an IU player since Quacy Barnes scored in double digits in 37-consecutive games to end the 1996-97 season and to start 1997-98.  She also leads the team in scoring (18.6 ppg), assists (4.5 apg) and steals (1.9 spg).  Amanda Cahill is averaging 16.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game in Big Ten play making her one of just four players in the league averaging those totals in conference play.   7:00 E.

I haven't gone back and watched any replay but it seems to me you knew how the game was going to end at the first media timeout just from the helter skelter manner Troy was playing.  I sometimes wonder if he's not chugging gallons of energy drink before he steps on the court.  If early in the game he's under control, he'll likely have a good positive outing but when in the early moments of the game he's just running around maniacally it's gonna be a long night  -- and it was.

Yes, the officiating was horrid but it always is at Wisky and you need to be prepared to get screwed on the calls.  But the officiating alone didn't cost us this game.  Troy a no show for most of the game; virtually no bench help and little ball movement as evidenced by only 6 assists on 28 made shots. What's critical at this point is how this team bounces back against Minny.  Do they bounce back with a convincing beat down or does tonight's game signal the onset of our usual end of season swoon?

We're not shooting the ball - only 42%; Wisky at 52% Only 2 assists on 13 made shots Troy pretty much non-existent in the first half as was Max Playing 8 on 5   And we're still only down 1.
