BTT Game Thread: Indiana vs. Iowa 3/12 - 1 pm on CBS

[LamarCheeks 16,823]

We had chances and shoulda won, but what the hell -- we lost on a 35-foot bank shot from a 35-year-old dude. 

Sh-t happens!

We led by 9 with like 5 minutes left. It never should have been tied 

I get it. 

We suck and Woody sucks.

Does that cover it for you?

[Hovadipo 52,938]

Couple things:

-We just played ourselves into the tournament. That’s all anyone asked for coming in. 

-TJD is stamping his place in IU history down the stretch this year. He has turned it on big time after a rocky year. 

-Playing with house money the rest of the way. 

-Sure hope, as fans, we’re allowed to get excited this offseason coming off of this week and hopefully some success next week. 

-**** Jordan Bohanon’s “Do you know how I am?” slack-jawed, geriatric ***.

I felt really good with our D on that last play. What are you going to do with a shot from that far.

 

Nothing but what was done. Force a low percentage shot. 
 

If we want to whine we can do it on the other two plays we lost guys late. But the truth is that’s basketball, a culmination of good plays and some bad ones. We played well overall and came up short to a hot shooting team.  
  
A good 3 game run that got us to the tourney is something to be happy about, imo. Out of the stupid play-in games too.

I could imagine a person melting down if this had been the do or die Michigan game or even the Illinois game where we were on the bubble.

Melting down on this one says more about the poster than the team.

This game is on Kopp. Missing wide open shots and losing Bohannon on the 3.

This fanbase really needs to stop with nonsense like this. Kopp played his @$$ off the whole game and made several big shots. The whole team played their ***** off and ran out of gas at the end.

Yeah, because he has been a deadly shooter.

I mean did Stewart and Kopp inspire that much confidence in you? Bates made a nice ( in rythem) shot you have to give him at least a couple minutes to see if something clicked. Plus fresh legs.

Didn’t get to watch the game but I see on the box score we gave up 48 points in the second half. Can’t really b**** about a half court shot with that kind of defensive (lack of) effort

It wasn't really like that.  Iowa couldn't miss for a stretch.  Thats what streaky teams can do

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,189]

It'd be nice if Woody just tore into the B1G and the officiating. But coaches are brave enough for that. 

[RaceToTheTop 23,582]

Honestly, the three games we played in the BTT were probably the top three entering games we've played since the BTT started.

Of course they do, it's what they live for apparently.

Really? Galloway, Johnson, Stewart missed threes. They make a couple, we win

Dude this is basketball board. You can provide constructive criticism and still be proud of the team. It’s not one or the other.

You might want to watch it before you call it a lack of effort.

[RoadRage 1,358]

They keep a few Ensures in the cooler for Bohanon to celebrate with after the game!

[Banksyrules 4,231]

Maybe I have hoosier glasses on but did the refs cost us that game?

[pappy1865 2,174]

Yes I was critical of officiating. But, here's where it lands.

My opinion...keep your eyes on the prize. It was fun and enjoyable to see this team wake up in this tournament and play so well, but the BTT is not the prize. I've long viewed the BTT as fool's gold...you expend precious resources against a less important goal.

Focus maximum effort now on the NCAAs.
