Indiana at Iowa Game Thread: 2/22 - 9:00pm - FS1

Playing the last 4 minutes of the half with McRoberts, Fitzner and Forrester on the floor and it is tied.  IDK, cant feel too bad about that.  

[Hoosier1984 1,567]

Deron & Juwan out majority of the half in foul trouble and tied up. I’ll take it!

Looks like he was fouled on his crossover well before the shot

Green is such a conundrum. Incredibly quick hands and sometimes has the ball on a string, and then other times seems to have no control. If we could just combine Green's ball handling and playmaking with Rob's IQ, we would have a great player

We went through our predictable scoring drought but very nice to see us playing hard again.

Yes but I was was referring to Fitzgerald going o for the world from 3 if they might have got him going from closer he may have snapped out of it. Seemed like all he did was come in and shoot a few threes and that was it

I think his 3’s should have been shot from 3’ closer

Romeo has taken what...3 shots? His involvement is to catch the ball up top, hand it off, and then going to stand in the corner. Don’t really understand it.

I had been screaming at my TV to get someone in the middle of that zone who can score from there.   Nobody's going to beat a zone on the perimeter.  Why did that take 8 minutes to figure out??  Well done, Fitzner.   Now....you cannot front the post with nobody behind.  Wonder if they'll figure THAT out?

Way before. I was referring to the “and one”

And he does so 22 feet from the rim.  It's baffling.

The BT refs are the worst. So, so inconsistent. 

They don’t just do Big Ten games and they don’t call the game the same way in other conferences. It’s a Big Ten “where bodying, slapping, shoving, grabbing, holding, etc. lives.”

My phone auto corrected fitzner to Fitzgerald but I kind of like that for him lol

Tied. At halftime. Morgan zero points. Who would have thunk it.

I’m really tired of getting bent over by the refs. For the Love of God, we have enough issues without flat out bad officiating. I **** you not .. I still think we’re still paying for all the abuse Coach Knight gave officials when he was at IU. News flash...,he’s been gone for a good bit. ...Refs take your poker out of our 4th point of contact..

You would think we would have learned after 4 or 5 times. TOO EASY.

 Hopefully we see an adjustment in the second half.

He's just not quite talented enough to be entertaining to me. Troy on the other hand... Literally one of my favorite basketball players ever. That dude regularly does things in his g league games that blow me away. 

It’s not necessarily his talent for me, it’s the onions:lack of talent ratio I think. He’s either going to do something mind-numbingly stupid, or mind-blowingly (not a word) awesome, but he’s always going to do *something*. And in a 13-13 season, you have to find something to be entertained by. 

 

Totally agree about Troy. Drove me nuts but he was friggin awesome to watch.

Agree on the fronting, especially with a smaller player like Race. It was just too easy to loft a pass to Garza with no behind help

It’s frustrating that now IU is giving effort. Could have used this effort 10 games ago. Then again I guess atleast they are trying. 

[JSHoosier 19,950]

Definitely like seeing that they haven't quit yet.  Sad when that's an accomplishment.

You can shove, body, grab and hold without any calls and then get called for a ticky/tacky foul or a moving screen 30 feet from the basket.  They are just really bad.
