IU vs WIU- Game Thread 11/5 @ 7 pm BTN+

[Brass Cannon]

Great first half. Could have closed it out better. Al and Phinisee are not going to be losing PT to Franklin just yet but he will get there. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Durham 15, Smith 12, RP 8, Brunk 4, Hunter 2, Anderson 2, TJD 2, Franklin 1, Davis 0.

We Devonte gets healthy, have to said our guard play could be pretty good.

62% shooting, 44% from three.  Not too shabby.

Justin Smith had a very good game against Gannon and has continued to play well tonight with 12 pts. on 6-10 shooting, 4 reb. and no TO's.  What a difference maker he could be if he can continue to play with that level of effort and focus.

Not watching- should I be concerned that Brunk, Davis and TJD have a combined 6pts and 3 reb? Or is it just the game flow?

I'd say game flow and long rebounds.

You should sue them for only providing you 30 days for a 30 day plan.

Well, Tell you what, I understand the sarcasm. Couple things though. Every single one of my other subscriptions are midnight to midnight. We have several as we don’t have cable. None work the way BTN does. None.
BTN changed this policy recently. They were always midnight to midnight as well. They changed to time and date of payment on August 9th 2019. What’s significant about that????
That’s the day IU announced the date and time for Hoosier Hysteria......coincidence?-possibly. Shady? Definitely.

Al Durham has 15 pts?

Never thought I'd see that, but man I'm excited to see him play this year.

They are definitely doubling when it gets down low.  Also my confidence in Davis right now isn't real high....he looks very, very slow.

Davis only played 3 minutes.  Thompson had 3 rebounds.

We had what four to’s in the 1st half? Not to shabby!

Seriously...get a hand up!!

Indiana has 26 of its 46 points in the paint, averaging 1.438 points per possession.  Hoosiers are 4 of 9 from 3, but players other than Durham are 1 of 6.

To my recollection, 3 of them were in that 3-4 minute stretch when we got stagnant.

This should be the best defensive IU team we’ve seen in a looooooong Time.

 

That will keep us in a lot of games and travels well.   Quickness meets length meets effort meets depth.   That's a recipe.

I assume the dates were for all schools, not just Indiana, so that's probably coincidence.  HOWEVER, I simply do not understand why they HAVE to have a single date at which everyone gets charged when people sign up at different dates -- or if they did, why it isn't a convenient date like the 1st.

Off note but Kansas has 18 turnovers in the first half so our 4 is looking pretty darn good

That's because he is very, very slow.  

We're sort of seeing next year's team now and I'm ecstatic.   Next season could be special....and I still say this season may be way better than some think.
