My brother's kid had a baby last week, so I got him an outfit.  Raise that boy right!

What is the latest on Ware?  Is he expected to play Saturday?

Actually, I don't think he's ever lost to a 14 seed. But he's lost to all those others. 

 

Maybe when Goliath finally moves on they'll regress all the way to a 3 seed and we'll get to see that one at some point. 

Isn’t that why Edey came back - to fill in the missing 14 in the run?

What strategy do we take against Purdue?  Double Edey and hope Purdue misses their threes or let Edey get 35 and try and limit their shooters?

Likely double off of Morton and maybe Gillis whenever we can, and single him when the double would come from the player on anyone else.

It also depends how long Ware can stay out foul trouble. Much more of a need to double when Ware isn't in the game.

I vote Payton Sparks giving him a Stone Cold Stunner

I would let Edey have his and try to contain everyone else. Also try to push Edey out one more step so he's not catching it in a comfortable spot. Foul him, but try to limit 3-point plays. Have to rebound better than we have been. Need someone to step up. It just seems they are a bad matchup for us and a lot of other teams. Try to contain Jones too, he seems to go as they go.

A lot of the success that FDU and St. Peters had with Edey was when they pushed him closer to the rim and fronted him. When he catches 5-7 feet from the rim without being fronted it's game over, and he often gets to that spot by screening near the elbow.

Bring in JHS to run that curl and burn them with the 15 ft. jump shot.

Indiana opens as 18.5-pt underdogs against Purdue for Saturday's matchup

Double team Edy and pick off his under pressure outlet pass. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

It worked for Northwestern twice with good results. Won one.  Lost a close one.

GO HOOSIERS!

Not sure how to stop him...either:

1.  Xavier or Sparks get a Flagrant 2...take out their big;

2.  Swarm him.

IU wins against POTFB in the paint(er).

-17.5 now!! Everything’s looking up!

 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I predict embarrassment. I think our guys will fight hard for most of the half only to realize we can’t compete. Curl up, lose by 20-25. All the negative chatter returns. This is what I honestly expect.

This is also why I’m ready to move along but realize we as a program are between a rock and a hard place.

Maybe our staff can watch both Northwestern games to come up with some ideas.

Then offer a payday to Boo and Berry to make a BooBerry Spectacular and defeat Purdue on their home court.

Galloway in the pick and roll with Ware.  Or Reneau… whoever Edey is guarding.  Make him defend the ball screen every possession.  Wear him down.  Worked with X to TJD and JHS to TJD in years past.
 

Galloway has been really good at turning the corner off ball screens in the last few games.  Mbako on the 3 point line on the right side waiting for a kick out if they help down on the Galloway penetration.
