IUBB @ Minnesota - Wednesday, 1/25/23 @ 9:00 ET on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Let's keep those wheels rollin' against the Goofers (7-11) (1-7).  Since 2012, we're just 5-4 playing at Minny.  Can't afford a letdown with a chance to pick up another road win.

One of their role/bench players is out for a month forcing them to play at least 7 deep in their games.

Don't mean to be rude at all.... but, "just 5-4"--- I can't think of many better records we have on the road than @ Minnesota since 2012.

They have 2 guys that can fill it up.  They are probably B1G's worst but they also aren't complete slouches now that Battle is back.  We should be able to control the paint and win but we can't sleepwalk.  gotta get those boys hyped.

I believe that Cooper kid is shooting around 49% from the 3 for Minnesota. And of course, Garcia can shoot it too, they have some guys on there. But I agree, shouldn’t sleepwalk whatsoever, since they have played some B10 teams pretty close

[HoosierAloha]

Keep competing like the last few games. They do have a few guys who can fill it up but I haven't really seen Minny execute at a high level this season. It seems like individual play with a lot of ups and downs but mostly downs.

[Hoosierfan1901]

Not a lot of tidbits on GopherHole site, other than they are down to like 9 scholarship players and complaining about HC Johnson

This got me curious so I sports referenced it:

(Since the 2011-12 season)

Minnesota	5-4
Illinois	4-5
Iowa	4-5
Maryland	1-4
Michigan	2-6
MSU	2-7
Nebraska	5-3
Northwestern	3-4
Ohio State	2-6
Penn State	5-4
Purdue	2-7
Rutgers	3-4
Wisconsin	0-9

 

This looks good on desktop. If it's unreadable anywhere else, just know that it ain't good!

This game worries me. This game will show us if TJD has really taken the leadership role seriously. Need to play like we have the last three games and not the three before that!

[Hoosierfan1901]

Oh yea, would like to mention that Minnesota is actually down 8 players since someone is redshirting this year and they only played 6 deep against Michigan.

There's ugly and then there's this.

From Assembly Call -

Malik Reneau had *at least* two TOs in 7 straight games (from Arizona through Penn St), averaging 2.43 per game.  Malik has had just one turnover in each of the last three games, while delivering much more impactful defense.  He's also shooting 58.6% from the field in B1G games.

[Stuhoo]

Dawson Garcia has a bad ankle. Guessing he will play, but that won’t help him when guarding Trayce or JG .

[HoosierCoop]

Oh man, I would say either Garcia or Battle would be the ones to watch.  Just Battle now???

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Today's media session -

Race Thompson - "When (my injury) first happened, I thought it was pretty much over with. The way it felt, the way it looked, I pretty much thought my career was a wrap."   Credited Tim Garl and Iowa training staff for quick, decisive treatment.  On Jordan Geronimo: "He's earned the right to play that much. I got to try and get some minutes back from him."

Nothing better than being off because of snow, sitting around drinking all day, then watching the Hoosiers stomp on some gophers. I'm excited about this game. Sometimes you just need a snow day.

Yeah that's some sloppy reporting. Malik though is still fouling at a really high level, I think his foul rate is up at the top of the B1G, not sure that's just recollection. Once he gets that under control, and I'm sure he will, his impact will be really high. Have been noting his foul rate since early on, it's that adjustment as a frosh to playing against D1 level bigs, it will happen.

Snow days as a kid and snow days as an adult bring the same joy. There's too much hustle and grind in daily life, very nice to have an unplanned day of nothing. Same thing tomorrow + IUBB? Yes, please.
