Game Thread: Indiana Hoosiers vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers

[rcbowla 7,093]

Race is not skilled, offensively. He’s a rebounding role player. Why is he taking shots?? Surely the staff knows this if we can see this from our couch..? 

Ehhh Race is skilled just not a good night for him. Still not sure why he's being told not to shoot those wide open 3's from the top of the key. He can make that shot

Brunk missed 4 of those I think.  Horrible looking ft stroke

0-3. Rob is 1-3 TJD 2-3

Brunk actually missed 3, not 4.

He's a hard worker, we're told.  I wonder if this team spends too much time working out and too little time working on basketball skills.

Need AH to roar these last three minutes...

[rcbowla 7,093]

Oh boy, a one-and-one after the timeout! I'm sure Smith will make it...lol.

He might he's the most inconsistent FT shooter on the team. Either on or off no in between

Damn.it.

Though how they see that one and not the one on Green, I have no idea.

was he this bad from the line early in the year too? I think I remember him being decent. He looks lost there now. Been awesome otherwise tho

His FT stroke was better earlier in the year. The herky jerky flat motion was really bad on those two FT.

Minny missing the bunnies too

That should be our play at the end of the shot clock. Let him stand there and shoot a wide open 3

No green in awhile and we're building a lead

[RaceToTheTop 25,635]

Brunk...other than free throws, has to be his best game in conference this year.

[Free Jurkin! 1,498]

Brunk! He's been rough recently, but I'm so happy he's been awesome tonight!!

Two good offensive possessions, with a good defensive stop in between, for IU. 

[theriverpilot 5,593]

Thought I was going to see another “Archie lunge” during that timeout! Lol

Don't like using timeouts here. Need to save them for when we get pressed in the final minutes and inevitably crap our pants. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,635]

Thank God.

In terms of Pitino outcoaching Miller....in the second half of the two games we've played against them, IU has outscored Minnesota 77-51.
