A great week because something is happening before next weekend hits?

Ready for this thread to explode next!

If we don’t start playing like we did against Marquette on a regular basis, we will probably get beat way more often than not. Michigan looked awesome against North Carolina and if we play with the effort we had at Duke then Michigan will give us the same result at their place. They were impressive. They had that tough, refuse to lose way about them on the court...something we lack way more often than not and can be quite frustrating. When we show all out effort we look really good, and when we don’t we get destroyed unless we happen to be playing Columbia City High School, and the players act like it’s not as big deal as it should be.

I have a feeling since McRoberts made his way back last night, he will start against Northwestern and Al will stay in the starting lineup, leaving Justin on the bench to start. I could see Rob, Al, Romeo, Zach, and Juwan.

Maybe we will have a really good shot at beating them next year at home in the IU/North Carolina or Duke Challenge.

Well shoot, the only keys to the game I had that actually happened were that McRoberts and Green played, lol

I saw it over on the Hoosier Sports Nation site. Someone also said a source knew of Trayce’s brother telling bunch of people around school to make sure they attend the game to see it happen. I’m not stating any of this as fact, just passing along info I have seen other places in the past handful of hours.

Romeo has looked the complete opposite of what I was hoping for in this game

Maybe this will wake them up and show them what a real team playing with fight and passion looks like...just sucks that we can’t already be awake and do that in the damn first place, and that’s what I wish we could expect out of them EVERY game. We shouldn’t have to have wake up calls to get our rears in gear.

That video of Green hitting 13 3’s in a row during their warmups was pretty cool...

Hopefully since it’s a weeknight, Trayce and Keion had early bedtimes.

I really would like to say we are getting beat this bad because of the load of talent Duke has, but we are doing this to ourselves.

Just need a quick 25-0 run!

I wasn’t gonna be surprised if we lost this game, but NOT by doing it the way we have looked so far..

Get rid of the ball Evan!

Justin trying to do his Zion impression and it’s just not gonna happen

...all we need are 5 straight 3 pointers and we’re back in this thing!

Word has gone around that Trayce may commit at his high school game this Friday. Their opponent: Aarman Franklin & Co.

My off the top of my head keys for IU: 1. Juwan and Romeo take it to their next level on a big time stage. 2. Rob plays cool and collected. 3. McRoberts and Green are back 4. Justin Smith found his big boy pants under his bed.

Definitely. He sets the pitbull effort mindset for the team. When he's out there giving it his all, the rest follow.

Juwan 5-7 from deep is impressive. We will need that next Tuesday.

UC Davis 38 points in first half, only 19 so far in second half with 4 minutes left. So we definitely have that going for us.

It's obvious what's going on here fellas....we're making Duke think this is all we've got going for us, and then when they least expect it, we POUNCE!

Justin misses a lot of bunnies. With all the hype he got in the off-season I was thinking he’d be breaking rims. Hope he can get it turned around. Rooting for him for sure.
