Agree generally re Nebraska, as I said earlier it's depressing that we look up at Nebraska on the schedule and (many) expect a L. Nebraska is a mediocre bball team and program, and yes expecting a L is because of Woodson and says a lot about how far down the program is under CMW's watch and outdated, low-product offensive (in both senses) system.

That said, I try to think big picture on the season. We have double digit Q1 games coming and this is IU's first true road game against a team that hasn't lost yet at home. We're deeper on talent, certainly a winnable game, but if we lose close in a hard fought game then there's at least reason to believe they'll continue to get better. If we get blown out by Nebraska -- that's an entirely different picture.

Please start removing the C in front of MW because what he does is not coaching.

Truly amazing Mackenzie...

[sirhoosierlot]

Not an ideal start by any means 

[RaceToTheTop]

Road refs in Big Ten

[Home Jersey]

Interesting to me that Tucker gets in before Carlyle, who was starting - now 7th man? In the doghouse huh...

[RaceToTheTop]

We are playing horrible, but these refs....my God.

[Banksyrules]

Ooof

[Unexpectedflash]

lol this is bad

[LamarCheeks]

Rice might as well have said, "Hey Malik, I'm gonna pass the ball to you." 

[rayl456]

I have a feeling this one ain’t going into the win column.

[Hoosierfan1901]

Going to be one of those nights again

[Home Jersey]

Is anyone really surprised?

Not that Wood-Dog is Mr Strategy, my only guess is Tucker is slightly bigger so he can play the 3 cuz Heaven forbid 3 guards play at once.

[LamarCheeks]

Not even 5 minutes in and we're down 10. 

 

[RaceToTheTop]

At least we know early that they didn't come to play and can do something else.

[Unexpectedflash]

Do something Mike 

[HinnyHoosier]

Bye Mikey.

[pumpfake]

Same sh*t, different season.

For some reason I think we win close or get blown out. I will have to watch the first 4 minutes to really gauge what it will be. IU on paper should be win this game…. But this is the “IU” of today so who knows.

I said first 4 minutes will probably tell the story

Rice needs to get us into a set or fast break without turning it over. His assist to turnover ratio needs some pine motivation.
