Game Thread : Minnesota @ Indiana | 7:30EST on FS1

[fwgreenway]

Haven't read through all the comments (siap) but the gauntlet of games (7) from MSU to Rutgers didn't beat this team down it appears to have built them up. What a tremendous job by the staff and players tonight. Keep it going Hoosiers and win the last 4 regular season games. Toughness - I love it!

Imagine what Archie could've done with last year's team. 

Only thing is that I don’t think him and Thomas Bryant would have gotten along in my honest opinion. I don’t think Archie likes players who complain to the refs or celebrate after a basketball and don’t get back on defense. Thomas did those things often. Also could you imagine Blackmon never getting off the bench because he would have been in the dog house a lot. Other than that Thomas would have thrived in the Archie’s system though. If Blackmon would of played defense he would also.

First I had to clarify that it was Donny Marshall and not Donyell Marshall, both of whom played at UConn.
Donny Marshall's wiki currently reads:
"Donny Marshall (born July 16, 1972) is an American retired professional basketball player who played six seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Jersey Nets. He is currently an awful college basketball television analyst."
"Donny currently is an NCAA basketball television analyst for FOX Sports. Also providing analysis for WestwoodOne national radio broadcasts during the men’s NCAA championship basketball tournament each spring since 2014. He stated he hates the candy stripe pants at Assembly Hall. He has permanently been banned by the IU fan base."
Get it while it lasts boys. 

Classic! Well done!

Or Archie would have put an end to Bryant's whining on Day 1, and hopefully would have taught James how to play better defense.

Got to go at the last min.  Good to see a blowout.  Pretty good game with some highlights and some misses.   

Ran into Pitino before game and road elevator with him after.  He was beaten up - tough game for their staff.  And Priller got a board and a free throw.  Life is complete.

Defense over the last 10 games is now 3rd in the country.  Starting a JUCO transfer and a Walk On.

Essentially, he understood the history, thought they were cool, but he wouldn't wear them. Basically he had to try and come up with something fun to talk about in a blowout game

The problem is it wasn't a blow out when he first dissed it.

This team is improving. I like what I see, even against a beat up Minny team. There are opportunities left in the schedule.

If we can win out and make the big ten championship game we might get a pity invite to the tourney

I think this team can upset OSU

You really have to give him credit.   He was bad last season, and not much better this season until recently when we really needed him.  He has played very, very well.  Solid in every way; if not spectacular.  I am really proud of him; and excited as hell for his playing TE for the Colts next season.

Great game hoosiers. DG was fantastic on offense. But I cant believe how laterally quick he is on defense. I can't wait to see him develop even more in CAM system. Plus the game should continue to slow down for him. On a sidenote, can you imagine OG with this defense right now?

Good point. O.G. would have thrived in this system.

Devonte has played really well recently. The way we thought he’d play all year. If he continues this play, I’d be more than fine with him starting alongside Romeo next season. And to Archie, one can already tell that his teams are gonna excel towards the end of a season. Very much different than the last coach’s teams

[VO5]

That game was fun as hell to watch. Green’s best game as a Hoosier, he’s peaking at the right time. 

As others have said, we can really make some noise at the end of our schedule. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us win out in the regular season and make some noise in the BIG tourney. If we get a favorable draw...well a guy can dream. A low odds tourney bid would be amazing for how this year has gone.

Devonte playing like this just changes the entire dynamic of the team. He can be really good defensively, but he adds a creative element offensively that has sorely been lacking. He can create offense for teammates and himself, which is something Newkirk and RoJo can’t really do. Hopefully this is the “new Devonte” for good, because it makes us so much better.

I’ll probably get slammed by most of you but, That Priller chant is super annoying to me.

This just in: 'He was caught at "Night Moves" after calling the IU vs Minnesota game in the bathroom, sitting while he pee'd.'

We can thank Ballislife and Overtime for hyping up this Jelly fam crap. Said before he made it to college that this kid was a dime a dozen guard

He truly does. And that’s why I thought IU would be pretty good. Devonte was gonna have a breakout year. Took a little longer than we all hoped it would. But I think he’s here to stay now. With this Devonte, IU can win out. It’s that simple
