I went to IU from 2006-2011. The last 4 seasons were nothing compared to that. The last time we stormed the court (2011), we were coming off the worst stretch in the schools history and beat the number 1 team in the country (a team that lost 2 games and won the title that season).

Now we’re storming the court against a 4th ranked Purdue team a season after being a bubble team. Talk about low expectations…

Could not disagree more.

I’m an old dude that was a freshman during the undefeated ‘75-76 season. We had a ton of great games and “expected” big wins.

These kids, however,  have endured 2/3/4 years of completely soulless “Archie Ball”. They have literally gone through a nuclear winter of IU basketball. I’m very glad they are having a great time. Storm the court if you want, party and miss class tomorrow. Have fun!!!!!

Rob deserves all the props

But other guys off the bench were huge, played really, really well tonight even if the box doesn’t show it

Galloway - 0 TO’s, box shows 1 steal but he was involved in more than 1, got under PU’s skin (made me think of Sheehey), and his energy was such a spark

Geronimo was a force on D, had 1 miscue but otherwise was a key factor esoecially in the first half turnaround 

Durr gets all kinds of grief but honestly we probably lose without him tonight, and while his form is kinda funky, he was dependable from the stripe in s tense game

My only complaint was going straight back to the starters to begin the 2d after our bench - and particularly the guard play, had PU on its heels. That was just a bad decision

I wish! I was too busy cheering and telling my wife about it. Miro was wearing a back t. That’s all I got.

Probably been said but you know Phinisee has dreamed of that shot. Wanted it, once, twice- bang.

All matchup snafu's aside, speaks to the trust Woodson has in Galloway putting him on Ivey in the dire moments.

X/Phin is an interesting combo in stretches, really showed they can defend on the perimeter despite possible height issues and always smart/pesky weakside post defense. Obviously, they got it done tonight on the offensive end and TAKE CARE OF THE BALL (O T/O: 4 steals)

Truly a team win with TJD all but out- showed there are other parts of this team that were effective and could be potentially consistent. Potentially :)

 

GOOOOO IU

To me the biggest thing is that the TEAM was totally behind Phin getting that last shot. Win lose or draw, WE the team want Rob to do this. THAT is a team! You go, we go!

From Dustin Dopirak:  Woodson says Phinisee told him to give him the ball. Said they had a new out of bounds play that worked out.

Does Painter have a bag on the side? They've shown him on TV 20 times, he's been drinking water 25 of them.

Gotta keep your Pork Chops marinated!

I’m thrilled we beat Purdue, but storming the court against them is freakin embarrassing.

I see both sides. The students have seen some awful basketball the last four years. But I don't like it either when you're a blueblood. At the end I don't care I'm glad they won!

Durr was really good, better than I've seen him play yet.

Galloway and Rob may not start but they need to see heavy minutes down the stretch like tonight.

Are they are suicide watch yet?

My wife is a Purdue fan (her father went there)…she says she’s okay…but I’m on the couch. I can’t confirm or deny her statements validity

Yeah, you give it to him at that point, imo. I know it worked out and all but really- Phin was in the right head space to drill that shot. Bumbled the first it looked like, wanted it (clean) again.

ROB. ROB. ROB. GALLO. XXXXXXXX. RACE. JORDAN. 

You boys picked up your horse when he was out. Amazing!!!

Don’t forget the contributions from Durr, Geronimo and the rest of the team!

Those who didn’t like CMW utilizing his bench, that payed off big time tonight!

[Golfman25 5,446]

That was a fantastic game.  I bailed on going, because oh lord I didn't have faith, and I apologize.  Kid got there around 3.  Phin redeemed himself and we all knew deep down that was the player he could be.  The young kids played their arse off.  Who needs TJD?  Ok, we do.  But it's nice to see the next man step up and the team get er done.  Who's next -- pisshigan.

I definitely saw it too.  Little was all up on Thompson celebrating on the court

[TheWatShot 14,010]

We need to stop acting like we're too good to storm the court against Purdue. If this was 1995, I might agree. It's 2022. We just went nearly 6 years without beating them, and their results in that time put ours to shame. 

 

Hopefully this is the start of that trend getting corrected, but we've sucked for far too long to still be looking down our noses at anybody. 

[DoctorP 1,075]

EVERYONE. 

 

MICHAEL DURR PLAYED A DAMN GOOD GAME TONIGHT. WE DONT COME CLOSE WITHOUT THIS MAN. THAT IS ALL.
