Alford Bailey Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Pretty simple IMO. If they control tempo and pound it inside we are in trouble. If we force tempo and hit a bunch of threes we have a good chance. We have to be the agressor!! If Purdue pounds it inside and starts getting the call forget it. Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Pretty sure it's the Swanigan factor. When he isn't in the game their offense falls off quite a bit. They'll be good again next year but nothing like now imo if Swanigan leaves Quote

AKHoosier Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Hopefully Swanigan gets in some early foul trouble to throw them off their game plan a bit. They go as he goes. Really wish we had OG for this one. Stuhoo 1 Quote

Really wish we had OG for this one.I wish, but we just don't attack the basket really at all. We'll have to luck into foul trouble. Seems like our free throw disparities are always crazy and people complain about officiating, but it's actually because we don't ever attack the basket. Or attack it well.

Ryno6284 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Any word on how long Blackmon is out? I haven't heard anything other than the indefinitely, lower leg issue B.S. from two weeks ago. Quote

IUHoosier5 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Don't know if it's been said recently but JM was back in his boot in class today. Probably precautionary but got to feel for the guy as he's clearly not been 100% healthy this season or during his time at IU as a whole.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 #iubb opens as a 3.5-point dog vs. Purdue. Pomeroy puts the margin at 3 & gives the Hoosiers a 39% chance of victory. Quote

We just can't beat teams only playing around the perimeter. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and The Ola Depot 2 Quote
