Creighton @ #1 IUMS - 9/3/21 @ 8:00
Aaron replied to Aaron's topic in Other Indiana Hoosiers Athletics
Creighton nearly scores again. Last losses I can think of where IU was this bad 2016 at South Bend. Last home game IU was this bad was 2015 in 4-1 loss to Rutgers. Last time IU looked this bad against team of this caliber is probably 2013 which is ironically last time D looked this shaky. Difference was that year you replaced three starters on the back line and had a goalie benched half way through year for being so bad. This is SAME back line that dominated last year. IU should easily be down 4-0 or 5-0. -

IU has been defending most of second half. Their 6 year home winning streak in regular season about to come to end. -

Creighton scores again against run of play as back line slips up again. Team needs this humbling and they better figure out why same D from last year looks like swiss cheese fast. -

Finally a good look off a corner but shot blocked. -

Your being outshot 6-0 by a team that was outshot 22-6 by St. Louis and look lethargic. Team has looked slow at start every game but this is worst yet. Whether its a starting lineup change or whatever something has to change as beginning of games.. -

Wed pick it up every time but not sure what is happening at beginning of games and it needs addressing. -

This Creighton team was dominated by a good but not great St. Louis last time out and running circles around our backline. -
Good to see our defense continuing to look like swiss cheese. Luckily Celantano is not an issue and made two unbelievable saves to stop goals and rightfully yelling at his defense. No Schmidt, Bezerra or Wittenbrink for injury. However, none of those guys play defense so that does not explain anything and now we have depth to cover any loss including Bezerra with Mihalic and Sarver. Still this early season defensive collapse is an unexplainable problem that needs to be corrected.

Offense struggled a bit without Bezerra as expected but we have a chance with Mihalic and Sarver up top now. Biggest thing to me is after a disastrous first 10 min defensively, team finally looked solid on backline which is most important. We know offense can strike at any time with 4 elite goal scorers. -

OK finally our backline looked like itself in second half. For first time they were organized and did a good job stopping Butler before things got dangerous. At no point was I worried Butler would equalize. If we can get that D we played in second half along with the offensive threats we have, this team will stay no. 1 most of year. There was the one dangerous clearance by Redmon off line but that was not because of bad back line play but unfortunate foul which happens. -

5 min left. 1-0 IU. -

Mihalic just took out entire Butler team but shot hit post. 1-0 12 min left. -

Aaron replied to Aaron's topic in Other Indiana Hoosiers Athletics
We almost conceded a goal and it would not of been d's fault. Goumballe committed a foul just outside box and the ball that was sent in on the free kick had to be cleared off line by Redmon at last second. 1-0 IU 21 min left. -

IU leads 1-0 at half. Looked much better in second part but D still makes me nervous. -
Butler @ #1 IUMS - 8/31/21 @ 8:00
Aaron replied to Aaron's topic in Other Indiana Hoosiers Athletics
Yup. With this many offensive weapons we are far and away best team in country like 2017 and 2018 if our D can do what it is capable of. -

Aaron replied to Aaron's topic in Other Indiana Hoosiers Athletics
As I said our offense is not stoppable. Endeley fouled on a breakaway. Glass took free kick and Maher headed it off post but slotted in the rebound after. Our D still looks shaky but we have been better since first few min. With this offense though we can strike at any time. May not dominate possession like in past but chances we do get much more likely to connect given weapons we have. -

Aaron replied to Aaron's topic in Other Indiana Hoosiers Athletics
Sarver and Mihalic are good. Their speed nearly created a goal out running behind entire Butler D but booted out for corner at last min. Never had so many speedy offensive threats with Bezerra, Mihalic, Sarver and Endeley. Now just need D to play like capable. -
Offense is struggling a bit, but defense looks like it can hold up against anyone. Should be an exciting season and intrigued by the improvements the coach has made to the program.

I hate to rain on people's party, but this team based on today's performance is going nowhere still in a tough Big Ten and looked horrible against that level of competition (I was sitting right behind official scorer in first row today). I hope for the best, but so far Coach Aird has been a lot of talking and hype with few results. This is now his fourth year and team is just as bad as when he got here. To top it off, his two best players transferred in offseason which is never a good sign. Don't call me a hater and I really want success from Aird and this program. It's a brutally tough Big Ten, but so far I have heard a lot of talk and seen zero results. A lot of good recruiting but no development and players are transferring when they get here. I really hope I am wrong, but so far I see nothing to suggest this program is anything but spinning its wheels. Another thing to note is IU has played Men's Soccer, Women's Basketball and Women's Soccer here and managed to split the crowd. With Volleyball there is small section of IU fans at best, so clearly I am not only one not sold on this team.

Playing today at Hinkle Fieldhouse twice. IU leads 15-11 first set over Bowling Green with another game tonight.

Never has IU won a game they deserved less, but with this much talent and offensive weapons you always have a chance. Watching Sarver, Mihalic, Bezerra and Endeley up top is going to be fun this year. Never has IU had so many offensive weapons. Never has IU less deserved a win but they got it and that is bottom line and IU has been on the other side of that far more often than it happening this way. -

Shades of 2018. IU scores on a rebound save to Yeagley and IU wins. Game was a repeat of that. -

As I said do not worry about this offense. All it took was one time of Sarver getting free in box and it led to a PK and equalizer with handball. With Endeley, Mihalic, Sarver and Bezerra all having elite speed and ability to score we have zero to worry about there even on our worst nights. -

IU is luckiest team in world tonight. We are now tied despite being dominated. ND with a handball in box. IU gets the penalty saved but it bounces right back to Mihalic who took it and he puts in rebound. 2-2 with 2 min left. -

I think that is more on ND's talent. I can see what the guys are doing on the frontline and they are getting free against a better team then we will see this year. You could be right but based on preseason this offense looks ready to role against most other teams. D looks pathetic against any competition and no clue why.
