IUBB @ Michigan State - Tuesday, 02.11.25 @ 9:00 on Peacock

Pretty well coached down the stretch. Gallo and Leal being such poor FT shooters is quite bizarre. Big win. Fun. Hard not to do the what if game.

Also happy we got a new coach coming in. Bliss. My hope of sneaking into the tournament ever so slightly stays alive.

Leal hit the last couple to seal it.  Rice, gallo and Mgbako all missed front ends at the end - otherwise wouldn’t have been so close.  Tip of cap to Coach tonight.

Yeah, kudos to Leal for someone finally sinking 2. But him being 60% FT shooter Is just so odd to me.

Zone was quite effective. I’ve been saying we should play zone for 2 seasons. Lol. Guys can’t keep guys in front. And we switch everything normally allowing other coaches to pick their matchups. We should stick with it against other teams as well.

Nothing to lose at this point!

[HinnyHoosier]

I will say although MM missed his first front end it was good to see him clutch up after that down the stretch and knock down his next 4.

Just finished watching the game.  Wish I could have watched live with y'all!  Big shout out to Leal for coming through when it mattered.

Just think if we pulled out 3 of the Northwestern, Maryland, Purdue, and Michigan games.

It’s like he’s finally making changes after he’s out the door. No clue why he wouldn’t change it when it was very obvious that it needed to be, but he refused to do it.

Which assistant did he delegate the game plan to because this definitely wasn't ol' Woodrow?

I said it earlier, but I thought Kenya was very active and vocal on the bench tonight.

Dave Bliss?  My God, no.

Trying to watch the replay of the game (only saw like the last three minutes)....hate hate hate how long it takes for Peacock to put the video of the replay back up.  Been over an hour since the end of the game.

We may not be in a coaching search …

I think so!  I am thinking we should play zone primarily and switch to msn on occasion.  We looked like a team that plays it all the time, lol.

I’m trying to figure out why Michigan State missed that last free throw.  I think there was still 5.5 seconds left, plenty of time to make the last free throw, get a possible steal or foul and still take a last second shot if we make or miss our free throws

Spartans are not a good 3-point shooting team at just 29% so it could be a real anvil chorus in East Lansing.   

Nailed it!

Spartans 4-23

Hoosiers 3-13

Peacock is the absolute worst.  Pause the game and you might just have to start over.  On restart it takes you to live every time.  It takes them forever to put the replay up because they lard it up with about 10 unskippable 1 minute ads.  Just trash all the way around.

[Ryno6284]

A couple things, great win at the Breslin! 
 

why do we have to turn the video game setting to extreme difficulty every game instead of leaving it at normal?

thanks to the team for not letting Skizzo break RMK’s B1G record against us!

finally, why peacock did you have to show Skizzo working the refs at every dead ball?

Plus hideous audio. They’ve got the crowd mic too loud and you can hardly hear the commentary.

Can’t watch it until tonight because we were celebrating daughter #2’s 21st birthday. But got a text from a friend saying, “Woodson’s not the only 1 who should be retiring. Worst coaching job of Izzo’s career.”  Quite the teaser.

I know that earlier in the thread people were commenting we had Peacock's C or D team announcers.  However, as the game went on, I thought Austin Rivers showed some promise as a color man.
