We need one of those games that other teams have against us. You know, the ones where the rarely utilized player, an Anthony Leal type, goes off for about 25 or 30 points while making 6-7 3 pointers....

I'd take a P Stew or Kopp going off for about 25 or 30 points, even if they're 6-7 from deep I'm not sure they'd get enough shot attempts to get to 25.

We did have one of those games. It was against Purdue and RP was that guy!

Somewhat....I want to see it from scholarship player 11, 12, or 13 on the depth chart. RP was on Purdue's scouting report. Too often it seems we get burned by a practice player from the other team getting the first significant min. of his career. We never have that happen in our favor.

Well that’s most likely not going to happen since they rarely get into the game.

I've got cold feet.

IU has a tough time on the road.  MD has 2 very good guards and Phin is out.  We don't win, historically, at MD.  No one really likes being anywhere inside the DC beltway.  And Coach Woody won't wear a suit on the road.

But IU is going to win this.  

IU uses all our secret weapons...

We defend the three.  Mess with their guards.  Xavier has a great day. TJD gets enough touches and finishes every single shot.  Race gets 12 rebounds and a double double. Kopp has game. Stew shows his stuff.  Lander does come in for 4 minutes and never makes a mistake.  And Coach Woody yells at the refs!   

Take it to the bank!

Yeah, this game doesn’t feel right to me. Road game following a blowout win

What’s our secret weapons?  Please don’t say Lander.

Secret weapon:  IU learned how to win last game.  Know your opponent.  Extend our defense just past the 3 line.  Mess with MD's guards.  That is their major asset...their guards.  And that playing with hair on fire sure seems like the thing to do.  All. Freakin'. Game.

That plus IU has a coach.  MD doesn't.  Actually, IU has a whole bunch of coaches.

Another OT heartbreaker a la Syracuse wouldn't surprise me. Neither would us winning by 10. Neither would us getting blown out. No guarantees I guess. I will say this is a great game for us to use, you know whole "coach" thing to our advantage, since they don't have one.
