As long as we’re voting (we are voting …Right?) I cast my vote for Co66OF to be the Official game thread starter. He has the inside best game info, Radio and Live Stat links. 
He saves me from a lot of frustrating internet plunking around to find the info he posts.

GO HOOSIERS!

Aw shucks @Whoozhers tweren't nuthin'.  Actually pretty simple and most anyone on the board is more than capable of starting a game thread.  Well, maybe not @Josh.

It's a message board. If we win by 25 some will still post anything they can think of to opine that Woody failed again. And that's. Okay.

That's too bad. Hope he handled it better than me, pulled a hammy a few weeks ago in the office gym and immediately fell down on the mat like the old lady "help I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Yeah, if we win by 5 it won't be enough.  If we win by 17, we won't have covered.  If we win by 30, we played sucky competition.

I kid.

Bottom line, need to win by this games and not have a repeat of last year where the wins were just by a few points against poor competition.  The South Carolina win was good -- 16 against a P5 team.  Eastern Illinois IU played one horrible half and one really good half.  Eastern Illinois was kind of a meh game but the margin was enough to not hurt.

I do miss the days where the bottom line was about wins and losses and not about margin.

I am hoping that Leal gets some run tonight.  Eight man rotation was fine against South Carolina because it was better competition than the previous two games but hopefully this will end up being the type of game where Leal and Hatton can get a little time on the court.

So led in scoring by Kenyon Giles, 5'9" guard.  Has shot 50% overall and 50% from three this season but that's way above his career numbers.  Had been more of a 40/31 guy before that and this year the shooting numbers are a little inflated as he went 4/5 (3/3 from three) in a game against a D2 team.  Shoot first point guard but he doesn't turn it over much.

As a team, they have shot it well from three.-- but just like Giles, if you take out the game played against a D2 team, it drops significantly.  They were 12 of 22 from three in that game.  In their two games against D1 teams (Florida Gulf Coast and SMU), they were 17 of 51 (33%).

Small strating lineup (5'9", 6'2", 6'5", 6'6", 6'8")  but they have rebounded decently.  That said, their starting 5 and guys bigs off the bench top out at 6'8" and don't have any bulk.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we pound it down low to Reneau and Ballo to get them the touches they didn’t get the last game.

I've watched enough Indiana basketball to know that 5'9" guard is going to absolutely go off tonight and hit some insane threes.
