Game Thread: Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ Indiana (12PM ET on BTN)

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

I literally just wanted to start this thread to post this little nugget I found. Rutger looking to reverse their season at ALUMNI HALL.

Hey, you can fit a court in there.

I think I saw a Henry Lee Summer concert there when I was a sophomore -- probably 1987 or '88.

Have mercy.....

I'm interested in seeing the lineups thrown out today. We honestly didn't miss Galloway at all. Leal needs 15-20 minutes. Geronimo needs at least 10. We need Rob to continue being aggressive trying to score. But where does Galloway fit in now?

[coonhounds 8,768]

This games importance can not be bigger now given the covid changes to our schedule and our recently gained momentum. Hopefully today goes well

I am worried that archie will forget everything that happened Thursday and we will see a day filled with lineups that don't make any sense. Probably geronimo won't get in the game or something crazy like that. Hopefully archie has learned and will give guys minutes and those guys are ready to capitalize on it like last game

Background on Rutgers at the Hoosiers look to get above .500 in league play.

We need to get this win and then take advantage of the 2 weeks at home to get prepped and beat two ranked teams at home and Northwestern on the road.

No, Geronimo’s gonna play. Wouldn’t surprise me if he plays more than the other night. When Rutgers plays Harper at the 4, and they do it a lot, he becomes a really bad matchup problem for IU. Thompson isn’t gonna chase him for 25 mins. Maybe Hunter gets that matchup more, but I don’t like that any better. But Geronimo, on effort and athleticism alone, has a chance to help here for 10 or 15 mins.

Yeah I was just getting a point across that archie hasn't been great at getting kids minutes that can impact a game. Usually it takes a injury or something to get a kid a chance.

+1

Geronimo, on strength and quickness, is an excellent choice to guard Harper.

Yeah, I know you were making a broader point. It just gave me a chance to spout off about Geronimo, who I love. He’s still undercooked, but there aren’t many guys switchable enough to credibly defend Garza in 1 game and Harper in the next.

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

I want to see the HOOSIERS playing with FIRE again!

The rest will take care of itself. Getting Johnson into early foul trouble would be nice for Race and Trayce to eat down low while he’s on the bench.

Game ready today! Hopefully the team is too. Super important to get a win today.

Galloway in street clothes again today.

Makes sense. Hopefully see some Geronimo. Gotta get Johnson in foul trouble. They are as thin as we are down low. 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,181]

Hopefully, they play like they did Thursday

On a side note, I enjoyed the Story of Rutgers' Myles Johnson on the Journey this week. He seems like a solid young man who knew what he wanted when choosing his College. Their Engineering Program was just as important as the basketball program.

Journey is by far my favorite non-game program for College Basketball. We fans, of any team, often look at players of other teams as someone to dislike. This program shows their personal side. Of course, there are some players that are easy to dislike based on their on Court conduct. Prime examples would be Davison and Grayson Allen.

My breath pauses at every free throw release.
