coonhounds Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Ok i should have been more clear iu can afford to lose this game and still have a good season! I do believe however if u dont come back from that train wreck Saturday ready to play tonight I will be skeptical that this team has the toughness to come back and make the tournament. I give credit to some posters on here that kept convincing us last season that every loss along the way was ok and we can still get in. We came closer than I thought but wasn't enough. So yea iu can lose tonight but should they? No Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app pappy1865 and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appNeither did Baylor last year when they went 9-4 in the non conference with home losses to Texas Southern and SF Austin and Wichita St on the road (all 3 non tournament teams). Playing in the B1G or any other power conference allows teams to be able to take a hit even if their schedule isn’t as strong as some would like.

coonhounds Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Cant wait till we can quit arguing over how bad we can play and make the tournament.Then we can argue about what seed we will be or what seed we should have been if we didn't lose certain games. That would be more funSent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app BGVille Hoosierfan, Class of '66 Old Fart, WayneFleekHoosier and 2 others 5 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Our schedule is going to be plenty strong come March. You forget what conference we play in?Committee still wants to see a strong OOC resume. So sure we can get wins over Maryland, OSU, Michigan and Michigan State possibly. We play Michigan and MSU once a piece and the other 2 twice. We have plenty of chances at solid wins with a limited amount a great wins. As in, we have 7 games for a great win and we’ve already beaten FSU. Gotta take adavantage of 2-3 of the other 6. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Hoosier1984 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Is this going to be our first game in about 60 games with a full roster or some random tweak keeping someone else out now that Rob is back. Seems we find out right before game time on a lot of these Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

cappymo14 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I don’t think IU will have much trouble here. If they really are a good team and Saturday was the anomaly, then we should win this by ten or more. UConn has the Florida/Miami wins yes, but I’d bet IU would have handled both of those easily. I’m going to believe we are the team that played so well against FSU, rather than the team that got whooped by UW. I’ll believe it until they prove otherwise. For me, that proof might come by the first under 8 timeout. Lead and it’s a new season with high expectations. Down 7+ though? Then it’s probably going to develop into a streak.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
cappymo14 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I think Joe Brunk needs to show me something tonight. Ive defended him and tried to justify his minutes. Gotta be better than he was in the last couple. Heck, go out there and be a bully. Something man.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appYou knew what USPS was referring to when he said great. Q1 wins that are critical to tournament seeding and inclusion, which is exactly what you were complaining about. Then, you mocked “great” because those wins don’t fit a different expectation of yours. So yes, you’re just being obnoxious. thebigweave 1 Quote
