Game thread: 2/13 IU @ #4 OSU, Noon ESPN

Like the fight to get back in it. Franklin has been off the last couple games. Need him if we hope to win this one. Rob is being Rob. Get Lander more time on the floor

This starting late clock actions at 6 seconds is insane unless you’ve got a dude who can’t get a look whenever he wants. Where did this come from?

[Banksyrules 4,225]

Franklin needs to have a better plan B when he drives and the bucket is not there.  He looks lost today.

Funny Holtman turned down IU. 

Read an article that said IU never talked to Holtmann. The previous athletic director confirmed it. It was Miller on the short list.

There was an article comparing Miller and Holman first 4 years at their respective schools. I'm trying to remember where I read it. It was today.

"Of course Miller took the IU job and fully embraced the fishbowl, but was Holtmann ever a serious candidate to come to Bloomington?

At Butler at the time, Holtmann was on every Indiana new coach hot board after Crean was fired along with Miller and now Louisville coach Chris Mack. But Holtmann would later say that he never spoke to IU about the job.  That lines up fairly well with former IU AD Fred Glass’ account.  He said Miller was on the short list from the very beginning, the job was never offered to anyone else, and Miller was of course hired less than ten days after Crean was let go."

Yes, Cool Dad can be that dumb. Surprised he didn't pass the buck off to the search firm.

This, even with Rob waving and directing while dribbling the air out of the ball, we still wind up with two players standing next to each other for the swing pass. If we're not getting into our pick and roll, we are lost on offense. It's no wonder we have so many shot clock violations

Archie is the last person on earth to see one of those graphs showing the points per possession strongly correlate with the amount of time left on the shot clock

Yeah, there is a lot of revisionism.  And if the timing had been different and Ohio State had looked for a coach before IU had, they were more interested in Miller than Holtmann.  Just because Holtmann has done  better job at Ohio State than Miller has at IU doesn't change the facts of previous history.

If we win this game each of you will get a awkward hug when covid is done..... I figure the fates would rather  mess with me than IU.  

[pappy1865 2,174]

Classic. Turnover as Rob hits a 3. 

[RaceToTheTop 23,571]

ummm....that's a travel and not a push?

[LIHoosier 24,997]

Starting 5 start the 2nd half

[RaceToTheTop 23,571]

And no foul on Franklin's drive?

[LIHoosier 24,997]

Hey, a well run fast break!

Oh oh

[LIHoosier 24,997]

If O$U had walked the ball up after that bucket, Archie would've been T'd up.

[Banksyrules 4,225]

Yup that was hook

[LamarCheeks 16,821]

How do you miss that, Race!
