What happened to OG

As was said multi times in the game thread, it is believed to be the flu.

They tried, we didn't. McRoberts gets an atta boy. Thats it.

[IUfan_Charlie]

we didn't run any real offense at all in the end of the game and OT. This one sucked. Didn't see this one when I posted mine.

I can hear it now from our rivals and the rest of the college basketball world: So that’s why the hoosiers don’t schedule nonconference true road games.  Can’t really respond.

They wanted it more, simple as that.  It was evident in nearly every play in regulation tonight.  What a win for the mastodons.  Biggest win in their program’s history?  Despite bleeding crimson, thought it was an awesome scene after the game.

Gotta love college basketball.  Beat Kansas in Hawaii, then lose to IPFW up the road 11 days later.  No worries at this point in the season.  We always win some as the underdog and lose some as the favorite.  Essentially every team does.

Hopefully this was OG’s worst game as a hoosier by a longshot.  No defending it – that was an utterly pathetic performance.  I lost count of how many plays he quit on.  I’ve never seen him and hope to never see him again play so lethargically.  Makes you wonder if he’s battling an illness.

Green is a really promising player.  McRoberts was a helluva spark plug tonight.  He put on a clinic on defense.  Him playing the last 10 or so minutes plus much of overtime is yet another reminder that it’s not about who starts but who finishes.  The latter is more important.

Kudos to coach for a great coaching move in going to the 2-3 zone to throw a wrench into their plans and halt momentum.  Also kudos for keeping OG on the bench for the rest of the game after two completely uninspired stretches of play.

Blackmon needs to learn how to be a playmaker, not just a scorer.  As has been the theme for much of his career, he missed an easy assist on a majority of his drives.  Needs to keep his head up and be determined to make a play, not be so focused on getting around his man to get a bucket.  Tunnel vision.

Their big man #45 had his way with Bryant tonight.  Hopefully it serves as lesson to Bryant that he needs to combine his energy with creativity in the post.  Can’t rely on your length and just expect fouls to be called.

edit:  really, really big fan of their coach after hearing that interview.

Didn't deserve to win. Absolutely horrid defense, too much reliance on the 3, horrid defense, weird sub patterns, and oh did I mention horrid defense? No excuses for that performance. 

[southsidehoosier]

That was the Penn State and Butler game all wrapped in the one and then crammed down our throats

Just an unacceptable defensive performance. I can accept an off night shooting, but there is no excuse for lack of defensive effort.
