Game thread : IU vs Iowa - 12/4

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Yes, it's early for this thread, but this today.  Ya think Pat Knight has to ask daddy if it's OK? 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

8:00 tipoff.  Gotta get it together tonight.  Can't afford to start 0-2 in conference and can't afford to lose any conference home games.  IU vs Iowa; both teams with identical (4-4) (0-1) records.

1992 FINAL FOUR REUNION
Members of Indiana's 1992 Final Four team will return to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall today for a reunion. The group, which was seeded #2 in the West Region during the NCAA Tournament, will be honored at halftime of the Hoosiers Big Ten home opener against Iowa.  Tip-off for the game is at 8 p.m.
 
The 1991-92 squad finished 27-7 and 14-4 in the Big Ten. The squad beat Eastern Illinois, LSU, Florida State and UCLA to reach the Final Four in Minneapolis where it fell to Duke.  
 
Five players averaged in double figures that year, led by All-American Calbert Cheaney who chipped in 17.6 points per game as a junior.  Junior Greg Graham averaged 12.8 points, sophomore Damon Bailey added 12.4 per game and freshman Alan Henderson scored 11.6 per contest.  Senior Eric Anderson also contributed 10.9 per outing.
 
Senior Jamal Meeks led the team in assists with 133, while junior Chris Reynolds had 126 assists and led the team with 49 steals.  Junior Matt Nover shot 54.4% from the floor and junior Todd Leary shot 58.2 from the field and 54.2% from three-point range.  Freshman Todd Lindeman also played key minutes for the team.  Sophomore Patrick Knight and freshman Brian Evans both were redshirts for the squad that season.

I’m really excited to see how this team responds tonight. Disappointing loss and losing a player to transfer have made it a rough few days I’m sure. I think Archie will have these guys dialed in.

You forgot to add "because the officials decided to foul out half our team" after the part about Duke. Knight always was pretty good at working the refs, but Coach K turned the tables in that one. ... We "committed" 33 fouls to their 18 and they shot 42 FTs to our 16. Not that I'm still bitter or anything!!!

Game Day! Fire Up Hoosiers! This game is so important for confidence and to keep us in the running for postseason contention. I think we will rise to the occasion and get the W! Go Hoosiers!

Agreed. This is a must-win IMO for morale reasons. We shouldn’t lose another game in the Hall this year except MSU.

[HoosierCoop]

Are we officially done with Woodbury?  or is back as a 7th year senior?

jk...I know that he is gone finally.  But oh the memories IU has had with that tool.

Absolute must win given we will likely get steam rolled the next two games. A 5 game losing streak would be demoralizing.

Assembly Hall must not like Iowa. First the ceiling panel and now this.

Apparently there is a power outage at Assembly Hall. Iowa is practicing at a H.S. gym.

Man what the hell is going on with Assembly? First it has a leaky roof, now power outages. Such a joke.

[dbmhoosier]

I wish I felt good about tonight but I don't see us with much chance.  Hopefully Archie has them ready.
