Game Thread: UNC vs IU - November 30th @ 9:20 on ESPN

[Brass Cannon 24,955]

We shot the 3 ball poorly and missed FTs like crazy and still gutted out a win. That's a good sign

If Newkirk can keep improving we will be dangerous

We'd probably be #1 next week if we beat Ft. Wayne.

I'm very worried about OG. He is integral.

Potential is there for this IU team to make a deep run this year. They look a lot better than last year this time. I'm beyond excited for this year.

So you think Jordan Tucker and Robert Phinisee were impressed with their IU experience this evening?

About the best recruiting video we could have asked for. And who was the kid in the Oak Hill sweats behind the bench? Never could see a face.

I saw his face. Either a white kid or mixed kid. Wondering who he was too. Seemed to be with Phinesee

That ankle turn looked really quick. I'm guessing he will be ok with some rest, ice, elevation..... well you know the drill.

Great win! I don't know about you----but NOW I forgive the Fort Wayne loss. Sorry Ole Roy-----but we stand united against academic fraud!

Well, would be nice, but I would be thrilled with a top 10 ranking that can be maintained throughout the season.

How did UNC win in Maui?

How did we lose in the Fort?

To both/all: even great teams make mistakes in November. Pretty sure Kansas and UNC showed our potential more than IPFW

I agree, and I hope he does because I love the way the kid just competes. But but my biggest concern with this team is that Newkirk really struggles to control pace of play. He missed multiple opportunities in the 2nd half to push pace. He worries me, but man am I rooting for him. 

[moonjaws 21]

First time I've seen CuJo rattled growing pains.Maybe just what he needed we're going to need him.Hang tough young man!!!

I agree. I was half joking.

I am too. He was hurt, legit. A significant amount of missed time from any member of this team and especially him, could really handicap them.

When will we find out injury status?

Crean said on the post-game show that we won't know tonight.  They'll evaluate tomorrow.  Here's hoping for a timetable of "day-to-day".
