GET WELL NEBRASKA!

We really need to play y’all.

So, Maryland cut back paying players for a season or 2, huh? And this is the resultant crap team they have. Get them while they are down because they will be back to paying players soon.

Maryland is entering the phase of the Turgeon cycle where, coming off a bad year, theyre inconsistent and bottom half of B1G, but athletic and talented. Give it a few years and the Terps will be back to elite status.

Also FWIW, Hoosiers up to 23 in KenPom w #9 DEF and #55 OFF. (Woof) But if we can improve the O moving forward the squad should be good!

We will eventually. Even if we get a COVID cancellation it will likely get re-scheduled for later. Big Ten set up several byes for this situation and it might not be bad to play this game later in yr when we are in middle of a tough stretch to get an easier game in between.

Didn't see the game but checked box score.  7 minutes and 2 shots with 0 fouls?  Did Franklin get hurt?

Yes, he twisted his ankle on a break. They taped him up on the sideline but he didn’t come back in. He later was seen on the bench with his shoe/sock off and an ice pack on.

1st off good win. 2nd Armaan being out hurts me to the core. Hopefully only a couple games. 3rd, and most important, Moana is my favorite Disney movie of last decade (I have a 3 year old daughter).

We have a repeating list at this point. Moana, Tangled, Frozen 1 & 2, Cars 1, 2 & 3. Right now it's Moana 75% and Tangled 25% lol.

Can you imagine the “NOOOOO” on Hunter’s late 3 shot if fans were allowed?
It would have been louder than Marco’s in the B1G tournament in Indy!
I’ll advised to say the least. Fouling 3 point shooters.etc.
Sure hope his basketball IQ improves post haste!

Our best lineup tonight was RP, AD, JH, RT and TJD. Moana is solid!!

Good Morning!

- We beat a very questionable Maryland team without our best guard! We also did it without hitting a 3 in the 1st half while not scoring in 5+ minutes!

- The team never gave up. Yes it's hard basketball to watch, but they hung around and stuck it out with a much better second half performace!

-TJD looked like a Court 5 HPER player in the 1st half and then decided to turn it on in the 2nd. He has to find a way to be more consistent. With his limitations on offense and even defense, he needs to excel in other areas (body language,etc) if he wants to make it to the league. 

- Losing FRANK stinks! But I was proud of Phins effort on defense and ok performance on offense. He does the little stuff that doesn't show up on the news the next morning.

- Trey is still good. He very well might have the worst shooting form on the team, but he plays hard. Freshman looked ok last night considering their puppies. I like Jordan's effort. Kristian still has a ways to go. Perhaps this time without Frank will help Lander develop a bit?

- Great adjustments for Archie in the second half for our offensive looks, I liked his TO's, and enjoyed his ability to get the team to turn it around at the half. 

- Live and die by shooting! We hit a 3-4 three's in that first half and I think we're all sleeping good last night. Progress slowly.. 

 

GO HOOSIERS!

Will give props where it is due. The last three games IU is shooting 39/48 from the line for 81%. That has to be one of the best if not the best three game trend from the line under Archie. 

Team is now shooting 68.7% on the season and 76.6% in conference play. Keep it going!

We won by 8 and hit 7 more FT than Maryland. Gotta hit the free ones as ugly as we play.

I really liked the big lineup with Hunter and only 2 guards. It helped take some pressure off TJD and he performed well in the second half. I would like to see a starting lineup of TJD/Race/Hunter/Galloway and either Rob or Al depending on who’s hot. It matches up so much better to the big lineups we see in the Big. 

[IUc2016 7,121]

IU moved up 1 spot in the updated NET. now ranked right at 50

Definitely the difference in the last two games. TJD seemed to be looking for the fouls in the first half instead of finishing strong. Once he realized he would get both going up strong in the second half he was unstoppable.

Still curious about Race and the potential over and back non call late in the game. He clearly was standing in our offensive end. Not sure if the ball had broken the time line plane. So which is it? Player or ball? Maybe I’m confusing football rules with the ruling 🤷‍♂️🤪

I would of called it over and back as he passed the ball back in the back court. Just a missed call by the officials? Anybody know?

You have to have everything (both feet and ball) over the line to be considered in the front court. Think of the 10 second rule where you need both feet and possession to have cleared the mid court line.

It was not an over and back.

Exactly right—that’s the exact rule.

And ... both feet and the ball WERE over; it was a missed call.

I'm not a fan of NET. Respectfully (or disrespectfully), it's garbage. It's way too inconsistent and is only good when they TRY to justify their tournament selections. KenPom.com, for me at least, is the only true source of a team's success factors and rankings. This is proven by year after year after year of nailing the best tournament teams with his proprietary algorithms. There are some real outliers when you look at NET versus KenPom. Michigan State for example. KenPom has them at 50, NET at 119. I mean, come on. MSU, loaded with talent and Tom Izzo, is the 119th best team in the country?  Please. All the following are KenPom first and NET second. UK, 49/144. If you think UK is the 144th best team int he country, think again. Memphis 61/96. Colgate 134/16!!!! Drake 60/20. Kansas 12/27. And so on, and so on. Extremely far off base versus a continuously trusted source like KenPom. That said, IU is 23/51 with the 9th rated defense in the country. Again, the NCAA using NET is the same thing as they super super super shady CFP using their "own process" to select who get's to play in the football playoffs. Cough, cough, Notre Dame, cough, cough.
