Southside

Welp, about what I expected. Didn't expect to see so many minutes from the Frosh. We did pretty close to what Vegas predicted. Lots of good, especially considering all Frosh play. Need to work on FTs and 3pt shooting, but those are the only biggee tonight.

Yup. And Leal's rating/rank is close to identical too. Both 25ish nationally position wise IIRC.

I mean, this is a pre-season type game. First game for 4 of these guys. We're favored by like 30ish, and already close to covering. Not sure that expecting perfection in game one is really reality based. Not saying we don't have issues, and not saying we're great, but it's pretty silly to go full tilt neg after only a half in the first game of the season when we're up 29 and shooting 60%

He and Leal are both similarly ranked. 92ish 3 star. Top 25 at position though.

Some of negative Nancy stuff is over the top tonight... lol First game of the season... Rust, Covid, and we're up 29 at half with Frosh looking good.

Rusty game so far. About what I expected. Not happy, not mad so far.

IDK. We were definitely bubble, and under 500 in the conf. If I HAD to bet, I'd probably say we were in too, but IMO it was not close to a lock.

Why do the announcers keep acting like we were a given/lock for the playoffs last year...

Lander, boom. 2 on first shot

Let's go Hoosiers...

Frustrating, but trying to be optimistic for the coming season. AM needs to make some noise this year. First year gets a pass. Second year the injuries. Last year / this year rona... I've never felt so indifferent about IUBB that I have the last couple years. It's time he earns that top 20 pay.

PU

audio is bad lol

Keep anything if possible that's revenue generating (or close to it), OR has been nationally relevant in terms of rankings. M and W BB, MFB, Soccer, Baseball, are the ones that come to mind.

Yup, I listed "87"

The 81 season was special. I was not yet a teen, but it's the year I really started IU BB and cheering along with my father. 87 though is still my favorite all time season. I remember the early win over KY, then the let down a few days later to Vandy. Then ran off 10ish wins including a very close one over Michigan, who had Rice and Grant, and a great O. Then got smacked down to earth by top ranked Iowa. We take revenge towards the end of the season over Iowa, but then lost 2 late season games including one to PU. That tourney run, especially the last 4 games vs Duke, LSU, UNLV, and Syracuse we're epic. Only 12pts of separation in those 4 games, and 2 one point wins. A few of those games certainly deserve to be on this list.

If he is going to leave, hope he ends up at ND, Butler, or Ball State.At least with those teams, I could continue to cheer a bit for him.

We should be blowing the doors off these guys.... 2pt lead lol... Come on boys

All I have to say is

I didn't expect much at the beginning of the year, but somehow got sucked in to being optimistic. I'm officially off that train now lol.. I expected to lose today, but not get blown out. I'm ready for a new chapter and a new HC.

I rarely have a cocktail during the week, and rarely drink whiskey and cokes anymore at all.... But I know there's an unopened bottle in the liquor cabinet, and every bad shot and empty trip make me want to pour a double...

Feeling like I should head over to the unbridled negativity thread...... COME ON HOOSIERS......

very nice davis to davis pass and shot

fun game. TJD baby! TO Maryland lol Hope we can hang on
