Love Woody jumping the reporter about Rutgers. Says we missed 9 open jumpers and two layups. Made them tonight. 

“Did you chart the game?”

Business handled, get as healthy as you can for Saturday and let's battle.

[HoosierAloha]

Solid bounce back game with multiple players showing out. Keep the TOs down, rebound, and stop fouling. Still plenty of areas to clean up to get to the next tier.

[reconmkd]

Nice for TJD! I was at Juwans game for his Triple Dub. Keep the fire guys, keep the confidence up and let’s go kick the Crap out of Arizona, just for good measure since Archie’s big brother used to coach there too!

[IU_FanClub]

Find a way to split Arizona and Kansas, get guys some rest and less minutes against Elon and Kennesaw St and then we don't play between 12/23 and 1/5 which will be great to get guys fresher and healthier.

Steve Downing was a warrior. Had a bad knee and was still a bad foul call against Walton from likely being a national champion. Trayce is in good company.

Woodson is so comfortable with telling the media where to stick it

 

Besides playing for Knight,  I would imagine dealing with the NYC basketball media for about 5 years will do that to you.

It'll help if Galloway and Bates can turn into reliable shooters from range.

Please NO! Burn the boats! Go after Zona and KU with ferocity!

Scratch and claw 2 more W’s!

GO HOOSIERS!

See you in Vegas!

OptaSTATS -  Trayce Jackson-Davis of @IndianaMBB is the first Division I player to have a points/rebounds/assists triple-double while also having 3+ blocks and 3+ steals since Arizona's Luke Walton did it against USC on January 17, 2002.

Good things usually happen when I'm at a game.

TJD with a triple-double

Bates hopefully finding his shot

 Gallo with 1 turnover this season

Big ten refs are not very good.

On to Vegas

Some things never change.

The bad, 15 turnovers.  The ugly, 7 of those by Johnson.

Also Nebraska is not very good.

There were times last season when he was our best player, and times when he should've been at the end of the bench. 

Was hoping as a 23-year-old in his fifth year of college hoops, he'd shake those Jeckyll & Hyde performances -- but apparently not. There's still plenty of season left; hope he can find some level of consistency. Not holding my breath, though -- seems like if it was gonna happen, it would have by now.

I've said it before, he has the mental stability of a bag of rats in a house fire.  He can be very good, but bad things can snowball and turn ugly in a hurry; he can be one of the better players on the floor, or the absolute worst.

I believe you can say that about our 23 year old starting power forward as well.

[go iu bb]

I saw that TJD was the first Nebraska opponent to have a triple double against them. Making history.

Not taking them out. Just pointing out that as bad as Rutgers was, it was a couple of guys hitting open shots away from being competitive. Has nothing to do with scheme or whatever. Guys have to hit open shots. 

Sorry, misunderstood your point as I thought you were saying we weren’t playing that well if we backed out the threes but you were noting how bad we shot at Rutgers.

That would raise our ceiling to a huge degree.
Let’s also add a dose of Kopp hitting threes and surprising us by scoring 2’s off the bounce. His play the last two games has been good/fun to see.
