Dave from Dayton Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 UConn is undefeated this season. But all 3 of their opponents have been no competition. Much worse than IU's competition. It is anyone's game. Ngw7183, thebigweave, BGVille Hoosierfan and 1 other 4

IU_FanClub Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Enough with the gloom and doom! I would rather have a challenge against a top 5 team tomorrow than another buy game. Let's appreciate it and root the boys on, we only get 31 regular season games a year! Ngw7183, Stuhoo, Joe_hoopsier and 2 others 5

Popular Post cthomas Posted November 19, 2023 Popular Post Posted November 19, 2023 Once again, I know it's not the same but I was so frustrated with our team well into December in 81. We had too much talent to be 7 - 5. But there we were and I wasn't sure if they would ever figure it out. Obviously we don't have an IT at the point but that turned out pretty good. That team got better as the season went on. By tournament time, I thought they were the best IU team I had ever seen. I know this is different but all I'm saying is let's let this play out a little longer. We have talent. We can be good at the end of the day. tkbbn, Banksyrules, Redcamaro and 8 others 10 1

WayneFleekHoosier Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 It’s crazy how in 3 games our enthusiasm/optimism has been squelched. Auburn in Georgia is gonna be a tough as I thought it might be. Pearl doesn’t play. Thank goodness Kansas is home. But man..Tomorrow could single handily change the trajectory of the perspective of our season or not. Big game. Their roster without Castle is good but shouldn’t be on paper that much better than ours…. But……Gotta bad feeling….. that’s what Zona, Kansas, Miami, etc did to me. We didn’t even compete in those games. I’m not sure this team has the fortitude to fight back. I’m glad I get to find out. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners Dave from Dayton 1

Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners It's about who you play and when. Those games you mentioned were brutal. But we beat Purdue twice and they were a top 5 team most of the year. I'm not too worried about this one in November. Nobody will be the same team 2 or 3 months from now. I want to win now, but I want to win more later.

Purdue really had no advantage over us athletically. Did we get more athletic in the offseason? I guess we'll find out. Hoosierfanyuh 1

Dave from Dayton Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Xavier Johnson travelled with the team to NYC. He participated in a light practice on Saturday. No announcement yet on his gametime appearance. Is Coach Woodson going to limit the platoon-type substitution pattern? Is X going to start and play well? Can Ware stop UConn's backup center from last year? Will anyone on either team hit a decent number of threes? Can UConn make up for missing their starting PG? Why did UConn run up the scores against bad teams this year? Why didn't IU run up the scores against not quite so bad teams as played UConn this year? Is Coach Woodson sandbagging UConn? I don't think so. But he isn't showing what he has up his sleeves. I hope. It is going to be telling. And I think it will be closer than most seem to think. I am seriously thinking of changing my prediction to an IU win. If Xavier is moving well in warmups and Woody says he is starting...why the heck not go for it? GO IU!!!

We pretty much were last year. From Arizona to Miami we had trouble competing with pacey teams that shoot and put a bunch of points up. I’m not convinced that’s Uconn, though. Last year Uconn finished pretty similar to how they started—really strong. They suffered a major mid season slump in conference play that took them off everybody’s radar. thebigweave and Dave from Dayton 2
MikeRoberts Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Can Reneau stay on the court? I imagine he will avg a foul every 3 mins thebigweave 1
Home Jersey Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Train to New York Penn Station (direct access into MSG) has a very healthy amount of IU fans on it. Imagine the next hour's train, which gets in right as the doors open, will have a fair bit more. IU fans tend to show up pretty well at the Garden from what I've seen. Let's shock the world Hoosiers!!! Joe_hoopsier, Dave from Dayton, lillurk and 4 others 7
