Game Thread: IUBB at Kansas Sat 12/17/22 Noon ESPN2

[Bowhunter]

We get beat on defense and rely on blocking the shot. Often times ref call a foul. Need to work on our help side defense and keeping opposing player from getting around us. We need to work on boxing out better too. We get the basics down, we could beat anyone in the country if shots are falling.

Apparently Duncomb has been sick for a while and is out of shape from not practicing. CMW says he wants to play him more when he is back in shape. Guessing not against Kansas.

Kansas is an undersized team.

Duncomb may get playing time but I expect it won’t be in this game.

Now Kaleb Banks? You never know when Woody decides it’s his turn to show what he’s got. Some will be surprised when Banks is thrown into a competitive game in the first half, but I won’t be.

Certainly hope we have an upgrade of 3 blind stripes for this game. It’s been anti IU as of late.

Enough of that.

GO HOOSIERS!!

I just realized that this game is at noon and the Colts play at 1:00. Please Hoosiers, give me a reason not to change the channel at halftime

Adolph Rupp?

He has 40 SEC titles, so you may be right. But, I wasn't going to put the effort into diving into decades of successful Kentucky seasons to see if that's true.

Can't remember who we were playing last year but it was at the same time as the Colts game against Jacksonville. I still watched the IU game even though the Colts we're playing for a playoff spot

I put $100 down on this game and I picked the Zebras. :)

It's regular season non conference college basketball too.  

I'm sure I'll set up tvs for both, but if IU is getting blown out I'll just watch Matt Ryan work his magic instead

So you rather see the Cts getting blown out over watching IU getting blown out.

Because we were only scheduled to play Purdue once during the conference season.

We were only scheduled to play them once in conference that year so we played them non conference to get a second game.  I believe the Big 10 protected the 2 game yearly rivalry after that.

No way both of them get blown out!  I'll watch the game where we win

There were actually 4 more seasons after that in which we only faced them one time, including Crean's first season. Purdue being Purdue, they tried to arrange for a non-conference matchup when they were the preseason Big Ten favorite and we had just nuked our program, then went around flexing after we wouldn't agree to it. I always wondered where their offer was the year before when Eric Gordon was here and they were starting 3 freshmen.

Probably better chance IU wins than the Colts or at least keeps it close.
