What a game! On the road, I’m taking it all day long. Don’t know where our rebounding went today but, I think some of it was just bad luck bounces. My heart definitely swelled a bit when Green hit Freddie with that pass late. 2 guys who have struggled in that situation all year, found each other and made a play when we needed it most. Robert Johnson, lights out. What a fantastic performance. Stay hot now. Oh, and you owe me a new remote for my TV. It’s sticking out of the wall after your free throw attempt. Collin Hartman and Zach won’t show up in the box score, but gave all they had on D. I’m cool with that all day long. Great game Hoosiers, very proud of you today and everyday.

I hate to say it imagine if Archie was our coach last year

[ebridges24 2,441]

if this team could somehow make it into the dance, they could make a run. what are our chances of winning the Big Ten tourney???

i really liked Crean, but it's obvious his teams had no backbone. Archie has made this team have a backbone.

Why are you surprised it came down to the final possession? 9v22 FTA, Morgan, Smith, McSwain all in foul trouble because they were within the vicinity of Cook. Big Ten

Morgan played passively for the majority of the game. Some of that is trying not to get close to Cook and foul out. (When has an offhand been allowed to keep another player down when you get the rebound, again rhetorical)

Great great games by Johnson and Green. I believe Johnson plays better with Green running things.

We did enough to get the win. Only 10 turnovers, Newkirk with 3.. Shot lights out from deep, who saw that coming?

9 conference wins. We will be no worse than the 7 seed in the BTT. Need to win at Nebrasketball.

I have been really hard on Rojo this year, but I was so happy for him today and he actually smiled.

I think with an offseason of him going hard everyday he could improve enough to play on the wing. We need to be able to play him at the three. That outback dunk was ridiculous.

He has a decent shot from mid-range, so maybe he can move it out a bit over the off season.

Green ain't going to give up the pg spot that easy next season. Would love to see him and phinese in practice against each other next year.

He's been lights out recently except for a little lapse against Illinois. That pass he made to Freddie late was amazing.

I’ve watched a lot of college basketball and nobody can tell me we’re not playing top 30 good. Unfortunately our stupid early loses, will kill us. IU can beat anyone currently in CBB on a neutral court. Not any great teams ...

I guess we will just have to beat Vandy in the NIT. 

If Green and Rojo play well there’s no reason why we couldn’t win a NIT tournament.

Guys i will make the game thread tomorrow btw. Gotta embrace this mojo as long as possible

Vandy will have to go on a run to get to .500 so they can qualify for the NIT for that to happen

Love how we are playing and competing lately. We don't really have the horses but we are finding a way.

Devonte finally turning into the guy i bragged him up to be. Morgan is that dude. Loved that dunk and reaction near end. RoJo hitting today was tremendous!

We will have a chance to show folks who we are down the stretch. It sure would be nice to see us get a couple wins in the BTT

Devonte has been the big surprise to me.  I thought he might turn out to be a head case and transfer after the season but he's clearly buying into Archie s system.  He'll be a big time player for us the next couple years.

[cbp4iu 1,487]

So proud of this team easily could of folded and instead won more game than last game. Love the direction Archie is taking us

So how long before Franny Mac gets fired? I know expectations for Iowa are never that high, but he is sucks as a coach...

Agree. Who in the B1G is more talented than Iowa? Mich St for sure and.........I'm not sure anyone else is. They've got a lot of very solid players but zero chemistry. Something wrong there- and sadly I think we all qualify as experts at recognizing talented teams that under-perform, right?

Something that popped in my head after today's game. Would we rather sneak into the NCAA tournament and lose maybe in the second round, or would we rather make a deep run in the NIT?

Probably the nit since the ncaa seems unrealistic. However you always take the ncaa if you can.

I'll probably get crap for this, but I'd rather make a run in the NIT with this team. We're (hopefully) not going to be in this position very often, so I'd like to make a run in it when given the opportunity. I also have this weird appreciation for the unusual twilight-atmosphere that exists in non-NCAA postseason basketball games. 

 

Also, it would be funny as hell if Purdue's season ends in mid-March and we're still playing games two weeks later.
