Saw Hunter was out again today, assume it is a failed drug test.  What is standard protocol for number of missed games for a failed test?

Someone wrote earlier today that it wasn't a failed drug test; rather he was reportedly being reckless in whom he was hanging out with -- with regard to COVID, and so was putting his teammates and coaches at risk. 

Some did say he was dressed today -- as apposed to the street clothes he wore last game.

Does that include the conference tourney as well?

Hey, even I can’t pump hard enough to have us playing well in that. 

[NashvilleHoosier 3,703]

Did anyone else think to themselves when we went up 3, "well at least whatever junk Bohanon throws up will only tie it." It was an absolute given that shot was going in.

2 or 3 seed if they won out including the conference tournament.

Missed watching the game, but super happy we got the win!

A season sweep of Iowa will be big in regard to helping our at-large resume.

It was better for it to end the way it did, than for Iowa to get 2 and keep fouling, IU getting 6 free throws and only hitting 2 or 3. 

 

The epitome of the Archie Miller era has been not getting stops when we need them most, and opponents hitting the most difficult, ridiculous and downright stupid shots possible. I was actually surprised Iowa didn't win it after that pass hit the backboard at the end.

We really need Iowa to forget that it's Franuary and start winning again. This won't help as much if they're barely in the top 25 a month from now.

Just me or that clock stop at .8 and .5? Can't get any home cookin' from our own clock operator?

1.8 was over after the tip up. they shoulda never even gotten a shot off!

Problem is it wasn’t just Rutgers were something like 2-9 after beating a ranked team. 

I’d care more if I didn’t know that the same exact thing happened to every team in the B1G over the last 4 years. Where were y’all with that stat?

I very seriously doubt that’s true. Statistically over a subset of 14 teams that number should be close to .500. Where’s your stat?

Yeah I turned away when I saw Bohanon caught the carom off or our player on that last heave. I couldn't bear to watch that go in. I was more surprised that it didn't. If he turns and squares up even just a bit that goes in. May have not gotten if off on time, but it goes in.

The number of overtime/games coming to the last couple of possessions this year has been nuts.

On to the Iowa message boards....see what they are saying.

Last I checked IU led the nation in number of OT games played this year

Given how bad the fan base acts like we’re the worst team in America, we’re lucky to not be blown out by 30 every night! 

[Uspshoosier 45,674]

Indiana defeats (8) Iowa 67-65, and the Hoosiers have now won 5 of their last 6 games against AP Top-10 teams.

@IndianaMBB has held Iowa to under 70 points in both meetings this season. No other team has even done that once.

Sure, must be just us then. Hell, big ten really is easy. Can’t believe every team in it isn’t undefeated.

So you have no stat to back it up then. So basically you created a fantasy to make you feel better about a bad stat
