Post Game Discussion : Duke 91 Indiana 81

[cthomas 6,477]

Best game I've seen from Davis. Need to convert better at the line but he won't see better Biggs the rest of the year. The way we are starting to play in the half court hasn't been seen since the Knight years. Proud of the way they competed.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

We played great for 36 minutes—collapsed at the end. Proud of my Hoosiers —if we hit some free throws we could have won this one. So close to the upset. Duke is amazing. They still get every call—and one—and one—and one—all night long. We are getting better. We are well coached. We are going to be alright! The Hall still has the magic. We’ve got to stick with this team because they have some wins in them and could sneak into the tourney in what’s looking like a subpar Big Ten so far. Lots of optimism here. Go Hoosiers!

Well I’m going to finish my beer, take my blood pressure medicine, and go to bed.
Good night faithful.

I hope Damezi and Hunter can come in and shoot because we need 3 point shooting so bad.

Archie had a good game plan going in but Davis should've been on the bench to close the game. Can't have a guy who is a terrible FT shooter out there in a game with this many fouls. 

Gotta have him out there. The offense flows through him and he was a problem for Duke during most of his minutes. Otherwise you're paying more of a perimeter game with a team that struggles to shoot the ball when they're open, let alone when the opposition's defense is tightening down late in the game.

But I agree. Gotta hit 'em. If I'm DD I'm shooting free throws in a triple digit quantity before I go to bed tonight.

Great freaking game by IU.. we fell short but played way better than I thought we would have. So pleased. Johnson did a hell of a job on Allen. He's annoying but dide can hit very difficult shots. And Davis is a fn animal down low. We are gonna be okay kids!!

Allen is very sneaky, too. He uses that elbow to clear space a lot and does it in such a way that the ref can't see. He pushes off on many of those shots, but is smart enough to not get caught. I'm trying not to complain about the refs -- that's just the way it is. If you don't get caught, it ain't a foul.

If Deron hit those free throws, we would have had a chance.

Like what I saw tonight though.

"We're Back" lol

A bunch of 3* kids take a bunch of 5* kids to the wire.  Team getting better each week.  We hit a home run with Archie Miller.   

[IUfanNcinci 279]

Hey Guys I haven’t seen a team I. So long that actually runs a half court offense and the defense tonight and toughness was such a sight to behold... Rojo played a hell of a game on both sides of the ball and I know DD missed crucial free throws but man he played his @$$ off tonight

Good to see Hartman is back—a quiet 11 points and he is rusty. He will be big for us if he can stay healthy

If Archie can get anywhere near equal talent as the other bluebloods......watch out.

Gotta get talent. I think we win that game if Bagley didn't get early stacks of Duke Cash.

We only had 8 turnovers—we certainly value the ball much better than we used to

This team is just going to get better and better as each game goes by. The team that played ISU is a completely different team than we are now and the team we are going to be in February is going to be completely different from who we are now. I am so excited for the rest of this year.

[LIHoosier 26,205]

Archie got a sniff of what the SS Assembly can do.

I’m satisfied with this game. I expected a blow out and loved watching us compete. Gotta knock those free throws down when we get the chance. The only thing I’m worried about with this team at the moment is us getting up for other games. Obviously it’s home against the #1 team so we play hard, but can we do it against the Michigan’s, Iowa’s, Northwestern’s too. Teams were certainly capable of beating.

All in all, great effort against a great team, didn’t go our way at the end there but it will in the future. Keep improving and we’ll be blown away with where we’re at in March.

I know people don’t like talking about this, but Cujo got 0 minutes. Think we found our transfer candidate at the end of the season
