if someone sees where on youtube or wherever where a fan can watch a replay of the game. FYI, cant do hulu or anything like that due to bandwidth issues. but, if someone has is it on digits and can send it to me, i can download it

 

I checked Hulu and didn't see it, not on ESPN+ either.  Guess I'll be using Stuhoo's video

If it is on anything it would be on the Fox sports app

Pump the brakes.. this team CAN be good with consistent effort.  How good is basically up to them and what they're willing to put in over the offseason.  Armaan showed that he wanted it and made a jump between freshman and sophomore year.  Will others around him make that jump, do they have that fire?

 The biggest issue with this team and it has been for several years is consistency.  They've shown they can win these games but also lay absolute turds on any given night. 

Indiana is probably a couple of coin flips from being a top 20 team right now (KenPom has them 22). Switch the FSU and Wisconsin OT losses, and IU is 11-4 and in the top 20. Yes, the consistency of effort can be better. Yes, the shooting needs to be better. But they're right on the edge. Hopefully this is a win that they can build on.

And for next year, if TJD is back, we probably have the best big man in the B10 to go along with Franklin and Parker Stewart. The freshmen are showing promise too, but even without factoring in improvements from Lander, Leal, Geronimo, and Galloway, you're looking at 3 legit scorers with good depth behind them.

Ummm...Rob Phinisee is back next year too. For about a month now Phin has been playing at an extremely high level.

Last I checked Fox Sports replay streaming options for big ten games was garbage. I believe you have to subscribe to BTN+ to stream a replay.

Yep Rob has been playing at the level we need to. Pretty much what I hoped for pre concussion. 
 

We need the freshmen to develop like Armaan did to solidify our back court. I’m very satisfied with our front court if TJD comes back after seeing Hunter and Geronimo recently. 
 

If the effort is there this team is dangerous.  Archie has to figure out what is causing the effort to be optional. Then when he finds out, get rid of it

Yeah, I'm very happy with Rob's play. When he's playing with confidence, he's very good. I didn't include him with Franklin and Stewart because I trust those guys to be more consistent scorers, but I feel great about Rob running point next year.

If you would have asked anyone before the game which team would go on an 11 minute field goal drought pretty sure nobody would have said Iowa. I still can't believe that actually happened

I'll take the bet for $1000 RIGHT now. I still don't believe it actually happened either. I think it was a CGI simulation of the game we saw, because that is impossible.

I downloaded the app on the TV today and started to watch the game. It looked good to me but I had to stop because of work

Dang....I just searched everywhere on the Fox sports app, Fox sports Go app, foxsports.com, and didn't find any replay options anywhere. That got me curious enough to chat with a rep and Chelsea tells me that replays of sports shown on fox sports channels will not be available through the fox sports apps or foxsports.com but instead will be available on the Fox NOW app and Fox.com. That really makes a lot of sense, Chelsea. I don't feel like having another app on my phone, but I did confirm it's available (w/ TV subscription) on Fox.com.

What a great win!!! Hopefully, this team is coming together at the right time. Let get things rolling. Can you imagine next year when we add Henry or Brooks, how good we can be?

That would certainly help projections. I think TJD would consider staying if we got Brooks. That would be a huge development.

BTW, heading into last night, the Frans were 22-1 in their past 23 home games. 

I heard that toward the end of the game. Of course the 1 team that beat them in that stretch was Purdue. Freaking Purdue...they win everywhere.

Absolutely, I'm not as concerned about the FSU and Wiscy losses as I am with the Texas, NW, and purdoodoo losses.  In the FSU and Wiscy losses the team actually competed.  Sometimes you compete and lose, it happens in sports.  In the Texas (although an extremely good team), NW, and purdoodoo losses they were just there.  They didn't compete and looked as if they didn't care.  If this team competed every game they could be 11-4 with "not bad" losses at FSU and Wiscy.  We would still be a top 25 team arguing about seeding and not whether we get the "good" Hoosiers or the "I'm too cool to play hard" Hoosiers.

That needs to be fixed long before we look at the development of Lander, Leal, Geronimo, and Galloway.  We have had pieces for awhile but they haven't always played hard and smart.

I'm with you. IF they use this game as the springboard to compete every game the rest of the season, wins will come. If thet happens, I MAY come off the fire Archie bandwagon. They have to prove it.

Same. I think we have 6 home games left. Let’s show some pride and win at least 5 of them. Rutgers, Michigan State, Northwestern are all winnable road games. Win one of those and boom .500 record.  Plus maybe just maybe we get revenge on Purdue. 
 

If we play hard and with passion we can make the dance this year.

We are 4-4 in conference.

If we win 1/2 of our remaining games we WILL make the tournament.

It looked like Race got hammered twice big league around the 2:10 mark... NO call!
Unbelievable!

Agreed. Just gotta sustain going 5 of 6 at home will be crucial for that.
