I'm tired of shooting less free throws than the competition.  How does Iowa measure in this metric?

Yes when was the last time we were the first team in the bonus. We don’t get much respect from the officials.

We need to be aggressive and go up strong.  At least then we might convert even if they don't call the foul, instead of jumping sideways trying to draw contact and coming up empty handed.

This is a game I wish Trey would start (over others, he should always start), We need his perimeter D.

With him the refs may have been to scared to swallow the whistle.  Might have tried throwing a table to go with the chair.

I just hope we don’t get Bo tomorrow

The one's they've had have been bad enough, they certainly don't need Bo.

The good news is that they have played as many games as we have so conditioning shouldn't be a factor. If we continue with the same level of defense, we have a puncher's chance. Iowa's defense is not good enough to be the difference.

Iowa depends a lot more on jump shots and that is usually where fatigue shows first. Any fatigue should show less in IU's offense and defense.

Huh, there's benefits to not being able to shoot apparently.

TJD....

“It’s really big for me, honestly, and our program, because a lot of us, I know I haven’t beaten Illinois throughout my whole career,” Jackson-Davis said. “So finally getting that one like Michigan, I think it’s just getting another thing off my chest.”

Glass half full lol.  I want this game so bad.  This BTT could be a real redemption story for IU.

So much of it seems the ability to network and/or manipulate the officials.  It shouldnt be that way but it probably puts Woody at a disadvantage having only a season under his belt

IU will need to guard the three...this team has some streaky shooters that can bury you quick if you aren't out on them!

I honestly think it’s been like for the past 6-7 years.  My conspiracy theory is the refs and maybe the B10 want to keep IU down, wink, wink!  Lol!

[Brass Cannon 24,488]

I would think the Big Ten would love to have another IU Purdue game.  Maybe we will get some favorable calls tomorrow.  
 

Seems like IU/Purdue is the most marketable matchup left.

It's really not a surprise how the Big 1.o is officiated. Body up and you're probably not going to get called, play defense with your hands and you're going to rack up the fouls. Be the aggressor and go up and into the defense and you'll get calls, glide or jump away from the defense and you won't get the call. Watch how we glide or jump away from the defense, watch how we reach while on defense, and it's not a surprise we don't get the calls. This can change against Iowa because they don't have a rim protector like Michigan and Ill.

Have to bring it up…

IU hasn’t won 3 games in a row against conference foes in over 3 years. 
 

Gonna have to break that streak as well.

Indiana should be securely in. Playing with house money at this point. Why not win the damn thing? 

Let’s win to make sure we are miles away from the play in game

Don't have a clue who will be on Keegan Murray, but I'd love to see a tag team of Gallo & Geronimo frustrating the crap out of him all game long.
