Game Thread: Indiana Hoosiers @ Iowa Hawkeyes (9 p.m. EST on FS1)

[IUc2016 6,915]

Late start tonight on the road against a really good Iowa team. Can Archie silence the haters for at least a few days? Or do we see more of the same?

Iowa: 12-2 (6-1)

Kenpom: 3

Offense: 1

Defense: 73

 

Indiana: 8-6 (3-4)

Kenpom: 33

Offense: 54

Defense: 27

 

Hope we see the fight and determination we saw against Wisconsin and FSU on the road but we get a few more bounces to go our way at the end and pull it out. Go Hoosiers!

Just keep within 25... All that I ask. 

[Trish 11,408]

I don't see us winning this one boys. Competing would even shock me. Iowa is GOOD!

 

GO HOOSIERS!

What's gonna be uglier?  The product on the court or this thread?

Probably this thread. At least the product on the court will include Luka Garza, Jordan Bohannon, and Joe Weiskamp lol

[Whoozhers 3,638]

Yes. At least let the box score reflect you got off the bus.

Go HOOSIERS! SURPRISE the Hades out of us!

Is this our Michigan State game of the year?

Iowa is obviously a top tier team this season but in the past they didn't like to be slowed down.  Can we locate our early season defense for this game or has that disappeared for the rest of the season?  Can we have a night where we actually make some outside shots and/or our opponent doesn't light us up from deep?

This is so elementary but please play the ******* game with some ******* fire and a ****ton of pride!

I'll be shocked if we lose by less than 20. Iowa is really, really good. 

[OldBuddy67 245]

No disrespect to Iowa, who is really good, but remember the days when we always felt and most times did have a chance in a game like tonight? I so miss that and that is exactly what we are all frustrated about. For too long we have been able to pre-determine the outcome of games without any hope of victory. Sad times...........

Started at +10.5 this morning, down to +9.5! That's gotta be a sign....

I still felt that way during Miller's first season. 12 out of 13 zapped that feeling and I haven't gotten it back. 

[IUc2016 6,915]

Iowa has won their last three games by an average margin of victory of 20. Coming off a road win of 96-73 against Northwestern.

Buckle up, it will take a miracle. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,181]

Under Crean we had a good shot to win this game somehow. Now we hope to not lose by 20...

[LamarCheeks 16,805]

There almost should be a Luka Garza prediction thread ... 

I'll go with 35 points. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,181]

Last year it seemed like we let Garza almost do what he wanted and just shut everyone else down. Could we outscore Garza?

First time in awhile I’ve gone into a game fully accepting a large blowout.

Yikes.

Welcome to the club.  After a while you become numb to it

Is anyone else sick of hearing archie and our former coach brag up how tough the big ten is? They talk it up every year and say how great all the teams are basically to explain why we suck in the big imo. You are coaching at indiana you are at the most prestigious basketball school in the big ten. Just f ing win!

He realizes he’s like the second highest paid coach right?  And the highest not to have won an NCAA?  WTF does he think the expectation is. God what a loser
