Such an ugly victory. Not happy at all with a lot of Miller’s second half decisions. Ugh, too much ugliness in this game. Luckily UConn played just as bad.

I have no words for this game

Nice to get the "W".

Hell, I'm going to bed....

2-13 from 3-point line. First of all, we gotta hit a higher percentage. Second of all, we need to be hitting at least 7-8 from distance a game -- and hopefully more.

Win is a win. I think Devonte wanted to show out for the hometown and was in his feelings tonight. Just a piss poor showing all game long. Luckily Brunk and Al woke up late to get us some badly needed buckets. The good news is there will be TONS to learn from. Back to work

Damn......winning ugly!!

[Magnanimous]

This game was such a mess that Archie just went with the safe rotation down the stretch. It’ll be good to see Arman and Hunter work more with Phinisee now that he’s back. Smith needs to want to be the guy more than every five games, and Trayce needs to demand the ball more throughout the game.

Terrific win after a terrific loss.  Great win fellas

[Alford Bailey]

15% from three and won!

[rcbowla]

I stand by my comments about both teams being terribly coached. Happy for the W but yikes don't feel any better from here on out. This isn't a GOOD team. Nevermind very good, mediocre may even be stretch.

Truthfully, before we played home at Florida State, at Wisky, and UConn in the garden, I would be fine winning two of three.  Still am.  That's three games that help determine if you're a tournament team and we won two of them.

[bleedhoosier]

Goodness gracious. No one wanted to win this game... What an odd game. Was the humidity at 99% in the gym? Bumbling basketball. 

Also, I'm happy for win but something is driving me crazy. While Brink was going off, he would be 4 foot from rim pivoting and all 4 of our other players were standing around the arc. GO HELP THAT DUDE OUT OR TIME THE REBOUND. They all sat out there on the play where Brunk was facing 2 guys and got his own rebound away from the 3rd nearby defender for a outback. Archie has to fix that. That's not a "clear out" situation. 

Whatev, they keep grinding. And Devonte, give the ball to Rob for free throws. What a frustrating win lol

[Hoosierfan2017]

We won a game with zero players scoring in double digits. It's not very often that you see that. 

[Crimson and Cream]

Win is a win but this team has a lot to work on. Too much for me to want to discuss this late at night. My brain is fried too much Dickie V. 

[colonel06]

Mid-major type Husky team. But a win nonetheless...barely!

Good teams finish teams from the line in in the final ticks. Upset that we missed all those.

Agreed. Devonte was hunting for his **** tonight and that never turns out well. They keyed in on him and his p*** poor ball handling almost cost us on more than one occasion.

I honestly believe both coaches are decent coaches, but tonight both teams weren’t well coached.

At the end of the day, I’ll take being 9-1 and going home to play Nebraska.

Come March, this is a resume boosting win. UConn is a tough out.

Go Hoosiers!

gutsy win on a bad shooting night. I'll take it lol.

Durham had some great timely shots, and Brunk did more than I thought he would.

Akok is going to be special.

Overall, great win coming of a horrible loss, and to do it at MSG on the road was sweet. I thought we'd lose this one, and especially after the start.

[DChoosier]

How many times have we won with more airball 3’s than made 3’s ?

Glad to see Rob. Hopefully we will see more of him going forward.

Props to Brunk for saving us during a stretch in the second half after a less than optimal first half. Not always easy to come back from that.

If passes to Rob on that out of bounds play, it's a turnover.  Defender was hugging Rob.  And the last time Green got fouled, he had just stole the ball.  Not sure how in either case he was supposed to get it Rob.
