Thats a bit of a help for IU although you don't wish injury on anyone. 

So out their 3rd leading scorer? Is Robbins out too?

Don't know....might prefer to have a guy shooting 32% in their lineup.

Robbins likely out.

Kalschuer is their best defensive guard.

Tough news for Minnysoter.

Type of night at Assembly Hall where someone goes for 60.

That’s more a Crean era thang.

Reports are coming out that Robbins is in uniform and going through warm-ups.

[Stuhoo 82,579]

If both Robbins and Kalschuer were out that would be about 30% of their total per game  minutes missing.

Could be seeing how he looks in warm ups.  But he has not played well the last three games -- 7 of 24 from the field with 12 fouls in a total of 62 minutes.  Sounds like a stat line of a guy who was trying to play through an ankle injury and it just really came to a head last game.  FWIW, it was a reaggravation of a previous injury on January 30th....so he probably never really got through it.  

Something to watch IF he does play:  26 fouls in the last 6 games.  Woof.

I'll take any help although I wish injury on no one.

It's a must win / can't lose tonight.

[cappymo14 2,276]

Phin has to step up for me. This game is basically designed for him to succeed. I mean enough with the “confidence” thing man. Grow up tonight.

Game time decision, I went with two fingers of Evan Williams Honey!

Yup. The inconsistency has to stop. If it doesn't, and we find ourselves out of the running for the tournament, time to give Landers more time for development sake.

Agreed. I was against cutting Robs minutes in favor of Kristian because I was afraid we’d lose Rob mentally. I don’t think we can afford it if he was to check out. Eventually it gets old waiting for a guy to figure out if he wants to be the point guard of the Indiana basketball team. He need to show it tonight.

I wish it was more of an inconsistency thing because that would mean he would be showing more flashes.  He's only topped 12 points twice this year.  The defense is there but we need him to both distribute and score.

Keep Mason from going for 40, win the game. 

I’m an idiot. This was supposed to be Marcus Carr. I’m stuck in like 2016 apparently. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,941]

Robbins starting.

[Stuhoo 82,579]

Phin has done a really good job on Carr in the past. He’s got the main spotlight tonight.

[Southside 1,914]

My biggest hope, or hopes.... Hit FTs and feed TJD. He could have a career, or near career high tonight if they work the ball well.

If that brings Yogi back, I'm all for it.

That was a sweeeeet opening set.
