IUBB vs Nebraska Game Thread 3/11 @ 8:30 pm BTN

[Stuhoo 79,468]

 

We should get one BTT win this-a year! (but ... track record and all). Anyway, here's our game thread for IU v Nebrasketball in the opening round of the B1G tournament.

Nebraska starting guard Dachon Burke Tweetered last night that he is officially done as a Husker. Would also be surprised to see Cam Mack make the trip for them.

Go Hoosiers - start strong - beat em decisively.

I just looked this up...the last time IU wont multiple games in the BTT was 2003. In fact...2001 was the only other year they won multiple games. I'm not a big conference tournament fan but that is unacceptable. That can very well change this year.

Burke has left Nebrasketball.

Beat them decisively and rest key players for Penn state

I DON'T CARE if IU plays a team full of managers, we deserve some good fortune in the BIG tournament for once. although that team full of managers would still probably hit a last second shot to win a triple overtime game against IU.

Game shouldn’t be competitive, but with our history at the BTT.. you just never know.

Still no word on Mack, saw a Neb writer that said they would find out more in a couple hours, as I think there is a presser scheduled before the team travels to Indy.

Saw that too. I don't want to root for kids to not succeed, but IU needs all the help they can get lol

Yes, this game should be over quickly, but our Hoosiers seemingly just don't have any killer instinct.  Instead of stepping on the opponents jugular, they graciously offer a hand to help them get back in the game.  Please Hoosiers, prove me wrong.

Saw where he tweeted that he was suspended for missing curfew prior to the Minnesota game. 

[IUc2016 7,121]

Anyone got any news on Devonte? hearing he didn't practice last night. Assume it is because of his ankle

Ankle no definitive word on availability.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,739]

Yesterday on his radio show Archie also said Justin suffered a sprained thumb in the first half.  Also said doesn't know what Devonte Green will be able to give IU early in the Big Ten tournament, because of that tweaked ankle. Talks about Armaan Franklin needing to give the Hoosiers minutes

Wouldn't be a bad game to rest him and get Armaan some run. 

[CookHallGymRat 215]

I’m guessing this won’t be the final line

In a game that we must have, I'd hate to sit anybody that could potentially help.

Someone just tweeted an hour ago that Mack will transfer at end of season...no official word just yet.

Yeah agree maybe manage their minutes. And if we have a lead don’t play him in second half. 
 

Would say the same thing about TJD 

[Uspshoosier 44,947]

Fred Hoiberg confirms no Cam Mack or Dachon Burke in Indy for B1G Tourney.

Hoiberg confirms no Burke or Mack for the B1G tourney. Says Mack is away from the team dealing with a personal matter, and we already saw Burke's statement. Hoiberg stated that they are looking to add someone to the roster?
