Indiana @ Northwestern - Sunday 6:30 on BTN - Official Game Thread

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,602]

MIght as well get it up and running so we can start frothing at the mouth after that humiliating beat down at Michigan.   #iubb opens as a 2-point dog at Northwestern. Pomeroy puts it at 6 with a 32% chance of an IU victory.  Put me down in the "I'm worried" column.

Indiana (14-7, 4-4 Big Ten) vs. Northwestern (17-4, 6-2 Big Ten)

I don't see them responding with a win. I'm already chalking this up to a loss. I'm worried that we won't see any fight in them. While I don't think CTC is the long term answer I don't want to see a team give up and pack it in.

Nor do I, but we shot 54.5% from the field and 54% on our 3's and still got the snot kicked out of us because we committed too many TO's and didn't play a lick of defense.  Both of the latter are chronic IU problems and clearly aren't correctible by CTC and staff.  So do the players start thinking well, we can't play any better than we did and still got beat so what the heck?   I think we'll have a good idea of just how competitive we're going to be against NW by the second media timeout if not by the first.  We so badly need a leader on the court.

JBJ out indefinitely with the injury from the UM game

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

Maybe this explains part of JBJ"s shooting problems against Michigan but it surely isn't good news going forward.

The injury happened near the end of the game, he didn't play at all after it happened

FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing

Here is the starting line up I would like, considering the underachievers and such:

R Johnson

D Green

C Jones

D Davis

J Morgan

 

Go Big Red!

Good thing MSB regained his eligibility; we're running out of warm bodies.

Are they running tryouts to fill the bench?

[Stuhoo 80,486]

Grant Gelon just found playing time. Good G_d we're gonna be scraping the bottom.

Literally under dogs against NW......comical at this point

[KingPG21 6,584]

Hey TB if there is a time to prove people wrong about your pro chances now is it...... Too bad we'll probably triple the amount of times he is trying to drive it from the perimeter now.....

[Stuhoo 80,486]

Rotation?
Rojo, Josh, TB, Juwan, Zach, DD, DeG, CuJo, Freddie, Gelon.
With foul trouble MSB and Taylor get some run! Yikes

[Trish 11,548]

Josh
Rojo
Jones
Morgan
Tommy

If Crean wanted to win...

Rojo
Greene
Jones
Morgan
Bryant

Anyone ever wonder what might happen if it were CTC that came down with the flu or an injury and couldn't coach?

If he is being replaced by one of his assistants I would assume more of the same

CTC would forfeit the game due to the 'insurmountable odds' and 'emotional distress' the team would suffer in his absence.

Oh yea, the offense probably wont work for crap now. Bryant from the top of the key with 5 on the shot clock......

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Or......we could be better? Shorter rotation and guys know they have to step up. Wouldnt surprise me to see CTC pull this one out.
