IUBB @ Northwestern - Wednesday, 2/15/23 @ 9:00 ET on BTN

[Adillac]

We have one good guard and he's a freshman. We have one really good forward and they're doubling him. It's on the road. Think we'd be lucky to get out of this with a 10pt loss.

Usually such a big Tamar guy. He hasn’t done a redeemable thing tonight. Put Kaleb Banks in or anyone

The dude just doesn't do anything outside of Assembly Hall. It's who he is.

We def not ready for this game.

were we hoping for a letdown by the Cats??

Lots of dribbling, but not really going anywhere for IU. So difficult on the offensive end and NW getting anything they want and if they miss they get to just keep trying until they make it unless TJD can come up with one

[rcbowla]

Chicken littles coming out.

What have you seen that makes you think they're coming back in this one?

Saying this team is soft is ignoring the past 9 games...go on a run to end the half and it may be a tale of two halves game. We've seen stranger things happen

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

They are just playing so much better than we are tonight.  I'm really shocked, thought we we done playing like we don't care.

To lighten the mood, quote from Season on the Brink:

 

"Jesus Christ boys, we're getting hammered, and I mean hammered. There's almost no reason to play the GD second half."

Have we been on the winning side of these stranger things?

Not lately.

[LamarCheeks]

I keep thinking that when TJD waits for the double to come, he has a plan. 

But he doesn't. He needs to make a move or get rid of the ball before that happens.

Because tonight, he clearly cannot handle  it.

Michigan game was pretty strange I thought and IU won that one

[Banksyrules]

Watching these types of games makes me appreciate the Women’s team. Not a vulnerable soul among them. All focused and it’s all business to them.

Michigan in the BTT comes to mind

They’re not going to. But UVA just won by 3 against Louisville. That’s a worse performance than what we will end up with tonight in a loss.  
 

No use getting crazy dramatic about it

[NashvilleHoosier]

Trayce looks absolutely gassed. NW came to prove a point. Didn’t expect an absolute no show. 

[colonel06]

I personally don’t think our effort is there either though.

[Home Jersey]

This is very disappointing. We had a lot of time to prep for this game. NW was coming off a big win at Purdue and came out strong, ready, punched us in the mouth. Feels like Indiana never sets the tone/pace of the game. The early turnovers hurt us, the fiasco with the refs took the wind out of our sails, and we've sealed the deal with p!ss poor perimeter defense, out hustled on rebounding, bad shot selection. Rattled by this crowd. I know NW is not a slouch but we should not be rattled like this. Not a lot to like. 

Hope the players match the intensity Woodson has shown. Hope Woodson makes adjustments at half. I probably won't see 2nd half though, might as well get an extra 45 mins of sleep if we're still losing by 20+

Has nothing to do with comments about coming back in this game and everything to do with comments that somehow this game represents what the team has done.
