Maryland vs Indiana - Game Thread, Fri., 12/1 @ 7 BTN

[Home Jersey]

This was a must win. We won and looked good for the majority of the game. Great way to start B10 play.

Woodson "our offense was terrible down the stretch... I got to help them."  Doh!

[JSHoosier]

Well, it's a win. Shouldn't have ended up even that close.  Too many turnovers. 

[Home Jersey]

Beat Michigan and you have every reason to be excited for the rest of this year.

Even if we drop the two after that. Tonight was encouraging.

Say what you will about our start, but lots of B1G teams would trade places with us right now.

6-1 with our only loss to a top 5 team.

Gabe Cupps didn't play perfect. But

In his first career start, he left it all out on the court. Tipping my cap to him. 

I thought he played well. Take care of the ball, play good defense, and make a few hustle plays.

Solid win. Made Maryland earn it on offense.

Galloway might be the worse shooting 2 guard in the country. He’s in a total funk.

Mgbako can shoot that thang. But he is so stiff and has rock hands. It’s crazy.

Love Reneau. He’s awesome. Love Ware. He’s awesome.

Cupps fought hard but he’s getting attacked relentlessly on D because he can’t really stop the ball.

I loved Banks and Walkers play and effort.

Leal did just fine.

Sparks can’t finish or even get his shot off against power 5 bigs.

Coach W had a good game tonight.

Didn't have time to listen to Coach Cig's short talk to the crowd until just now.  

"Purdue sucks ... So does Michigan and Ohio State." 

Guy's got a pair. ... Hope he can back it up!

Felt bad for Geronimo. Not that I wanted the opposite but man......he's still not good folks

B1G Championship next year or bust!

Mack had the second most points and second most rebounds. His slow start has people way more pessimistic about the impact he can have this season than is warranted. Last two games have been a big step forward. No reason to think that development/improvement won't continue as the season goes on. He is a little stiff out there but the upside is obvious. Just has to keep on working.

He seemed obviously upset about his performance by the end of the game. Can't help but feel a little bad for him... but not too bad.... 

[AZ Hoosier]

IU had 3 TOs in the first half... finished with 16... and horrible FT shooting again - 10-18... no excuse for that...won the boards by 16 and the offensive boards by 5... not bad for the B1G opener... now, let's go get another at Michigan.

[RaceToTheTop]

Will have to watch on DVR later but from watching the score online looked like we were completely dominant for the first 28 minutes and even the offense struggling after that, it never got close to being a game.  If you told me IU wins by 13 without X tonight, I’d certainly take it.  That’s three halves without X now starting with the second half against Harvard and IU is +27.

Excellent games by Ware and Galloway.  Good game to Cupps and Reneau.  Mgbako was...ok.  I'm Dunn with Gunn

Absolutely brutal game from Geronimo

I doubt Michigan or OSU care about what IU's coach thinks of them. 

 

Purdue probably has people putting together a lame graphic of obscure statistics trying to show that they don't suck.

He has all the talent for the game but zero of the feel for it. Seems like a good guy though.
