Looking forwards to tip off! Our bigs should be a handful for them. Fingers crossed for Devonte and Rob. We need them to be healthy!

For anyone that truly follows college basketball knows that this isn’t going to be a cake walk by any means tonight. La Tech returns 4 starters from a 20 win season last year and has several players that can score (4 average double digits). I think we’re going to find out A LOT about this team tonight. I personally have a bad feeling about the game tonight and really hope I’m wrong. This game could tell us if we’ve truly made progression/improvements over the last 2 seasons or if it’s gonna be another unsatisfactory season. Can’t get off to a bad start or this could get out of control. Justin Smith will be the X Factor tonight, if he plays well and is able to score, we’ll win somewhat easily, if not, might see this board blow up.

I’m on the opposite end with this one. I’m pretty optimistic and I think this is a game where we open some eyes.

If so hope I hope it’s not another Marquette

I would say look for another big game for Brunk. They will look for him in the low post. Gonna have to make free throws and finish.

Well, he's dressed and warming up.  Is he healthy???

For those that haven't yet read by post in Trey Galloway's thread, his season opener is about to tip off so you can watch him in action while you wait for the IU game to start at 8:30.

Inside The Hall just tweeted there is no sign of Rob Phinisee tonight.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,937]

Now reported Rob is in the gym but in street clothes.  :-(

Must dominate the boards on both sides. Team is small. No reason we shouldn’t have a large rebounding advantage.

They’re gonna spread us out when we’re on defense, and pack themselves in when we’re on offense.

 

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

I’m really starting to wonder if Phinisee is going to be a “what if” player.

Gonna have to hit some 3’s tonight. They’ll probably be doubling and tripling in the post.

Wonder if it was from the bump on the head?

Probably. Built like a rock, with a fragile head. Unfathomable, really.

On the pre-game radio coach's show with Fisch, Archie said Rob nursing a myriad of injuries so resting him tonight.   Davis will play.

Man I hope Rob gets better, for longer durations. Could stall our progress.

I’m nursing a myriad of injuries, they are resting me as well tonight.

It's a real mystery as Rob seemed extremely durable in high school but certainly hasn't been that way thus far at IU.
