Game Thread: Iowa at IU 2/7/21 Noon FOX

[IU - Kaulie 1,891]

Rob is unplayable at this point.

I suspect he will start the 2nd half.

Someone mentioned Archie is playing for his IU life and the NCAA tournament should decide his fate. It’s a simple goal he hasn’t yet met and his losing regularly to Purdue is also inexcusable. He has enough talent.

You’d think if he really is coaching for his IU life, he’d play the freshmen as much as he can. Not only do they give us our best shot of winning, but they also give him something to point at to argue why he should keep his job.

He’s not coaching for his IU life. He will be our head coach next year unless Brad Stevens calls in May.

Reward the freshman coach!

Hopefully Geronimo, Leal and Landers get more playing time in the second half.

Seriously, that 30 second sequence where TJD dunked, Race and TJD double blocked that shot to hell, and Lander hit the 3 was the most fun I’ve had watching IU basketball since Yogi and the boys won the B1G.

They probably won't see the floor until the under 12 timeout knowing Archie.

It looked like a team that wasnt scared and overthinking. 

[Hoosierfan2017 21,344]

Taking and making threes makes such a difference. We struggle all half long and then hit 3 threes at the end and suddenly we’re up at halftime. Leal should be taking 5 threes a game. If we could be even just an average team in the conference from 3... 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,672]

Ron and Al only need to be in the game to give Lander, Leal and Franklin a breather. And that's it.

Lander is the type who will miss four straight 3s, yet take a fifth. Rob is the type who will miss one 3 and not shoot again. Not sure which is worse ...

So your saying there’s a chance at BS after all?

Exactly.  Rob will take a bad shot that causes him to pass up good shots the rest of the game.  Unless he hits it then he will take a few bad shots before getting timid

It wasn't until the 12 minute mark that Lander entered last game and that was his "breakout game". I kept looking for Archie's note card, Crean style, but didn't see it. His sub patterns are eerily similar to the last regime

Brad will call to see if TJD doesn't use his right hand inside or have an outside shot. He'll get his answers and hang up.

As the great Kobe Bryant once said, “I would go 0-for-30 before I would go 0-for-9. 0-for-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game.”

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,672]

Let's see how long it takes for a sub. 

[Hoosierfan2017 21,344]

Starters back out there lol, why is Archie like this.

[LIHoosier 26,148]

And...the regular 5 are back out.

[kreigh8 2,049]

Think that was a Rob assist. Off the gooseggs?
