Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Alt-Ctrl-Delete. Takes care of last night. No two ways about it, team needs to re-group. Yes, we beat Illinois handily a month ago in Champaign but that's old news. Illinois (17-8) (8-6) is coming off a Tuesday night loss at Penn State and we need to send them home with another road loss. Hopefully Larry Scrotum isn't one of the officials. And it's a home game so we might actually get some points from Tamar. Live Stats Radio OliviaPope40 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
NashvilleHoosier Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Feels like every game is a little more important than the last. I hate that this game is a noon Saturday tip after the gut punch from last night, and against a team that will desperately be seeking payback. A sleepy early tip off/another poor start first half and we're staring a possible 4 game losing streak and another middle of the pack finish in the face. I feel like this team is better equipped than any in recent memory to turn the page quickly and turn last night into fuel. Let's do that, please. Quote

Illinois is not having a fun week either - they got squished in Happy Valley, probably got home at about 3:00 am Wednesday morning, and get on a bus 2 1/2 days later to get to another road game in Bloomington.

Popular Post Chris007 Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 16, 2023 Will the officiating be any better on Saturday? I'm not one to mention the officials very often but I thought they were really bad last night. Long-time listener, first-time caller, I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

So what you're saying is they are desperate for a high quality win and a sleepy early tip off on the road against a team that embarrassed them on their home floor is the perfect opportunity. I've not yet successfully re-programmed myself to not expect the worst outcome in huge moments for IU hoops. The Archie years (and beyond) did a number on this fragile soul ;-). This may or may not be a cry for help. ellen.walden and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

HoosierCoop Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 I would like to make a motion in agreement that IU is going to come in to Assembly Hall with a huge chip, a pissed off fan base, and a prediction of a 10-15 point win. Can I get a motion? Second? All those in favor say I HoosierHoopster, thebigweave, reconmkd and 2 others 5 Quote

Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Their starters have been foul trouble the last few games, pretty sure 2 of them have fouled out multiple times these last 2 weeks Quote

realTomCrean Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 A lot of turmoil surrounding the Illinois program this year. Not a great resume, but certainly not the worst. Illinois will come out fighting, though I feel from watching them they're just waiting for a team to hammer in the final nail of the coffin. If you think IU looks careless periodically, tune into an Illini game. Those boys have a lot of quit in them. A good 1H start by the Hoosiers will bury them imo We do have the coaching edge. Underwood is as good for IU as Juwan Howard - hope they resign him craigyv88 1 Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Are we playing rugby or basketball? A must win. Would be the first time we've won 10 conference games since the 2015-2016 season. hoosierdogg 1 Quote
