IUBB @ Northwestern - 02/08/22 @ 9:00 ET on BTN

[Hovadipo]

Ask nicely for a 25-minute halftime! Leal looks like he’s 4 hours into a C.O.P.S. marathon.

Leal came closer on that half court heave than his other two 3pt attempts. What a weird night

[Five Prime]

Good first half.  Proud of the players but we have another half and northwestern won't shoot that poorly in the 2nd half.

Has to be demoralizing for Northwestern students to be the minority fanbase in a good chunk of their own home games. 

At least Penn St is in the middle of nowhere and no one's fan base can get there in a few hours notice.

I heard one of the commentators say something about an Indiana player and hustle...

Are you sure?:)

That was our bad half.  Now that these guys have experience on the court together watch us roll these chumps!

[rcbowla]

Bobby benched all starters at Illinois in January 1985.

Not a suspension though. If I recall correctly

Dude, you’re right, the extra frosty beers are doing it for you.

[str8baller]

I’mlate to the party. Why do we have guys suspended? 

[Dave from Dayton]

I sure hope those 5 players wore protection.

[chicagoHOOSIER]

wish we could have called a time out with the ball to get an open shot after the rebound with time enough to do that, but it also would have been cool for Leal to hit that 3PT in the face of the air ball chanters when we didn't. it almost went in. idk just win with what we got tonight n we can analyze the script later like we do if you want lol

Sidebar on PU and I’ll game 34-34

i think the upstart announcer, Mr. Hummel has promise!

Has a iu basketball team ever had 5 suspended players at 1 time?

1978 after the Alaska trip. Suspended 5 (including Woodson) and kicked 3 others off the team.

I remember it well. VERY well.
 Used to bet games back then, settled down at a Chicago sports bar with my buddies to watch the nationally televised game (big deal back then) only to see us start all subs. Needless to say all my buddies, and me, owed the bookie after that one. LOL

[Hoosier1984]

I would say through the first half the officiating has been pretty darn good compared to the last few games…haven’t cursed at the TV once.

Damn. Impressive on you. What was the issue?

The uglier this game gets the better that is for us. We can’t expect Northwestern to shoot as bad in the second half, and I’m worried our guys are ( rightfully) going to be gassed in the second half.

I had to google it because I didn't remember the year but in 1978 Knight dropped 3 and put 5 on probation - one named Mike Woodson...

Man, ripping off Mark Jackson catchphrases as a commentator feels really desperate. BTN can't find better talent than this?

[kreigh8]

Weird how Childress gets in before a scholarship Duncomb. Different positions, but just an odd look and doesn't inspire confidence for future seasons
