We won’t play harder the Martinelli.  We don’t have defensive answers for much on this team.  Hopefully we play smart and hard.   Gotta really compete on the defensive end.  But…….then we will foul.  I love this team. 

Maybe find a way to stop Martinelli before he comes out on the court.  Maybe give him some unripe persimmon or a chocolate ex-Lax shake.  Or buy out his NIL...

Sam and Reed starting tonight.

GO HOOSIERS!!

Me like.  Let’s get Sisley minutes at the 4 as the sub.

Wow...Starting Bailey instead of Dorn!

[RaceToTheTop]

I'm a little wary of starting Alexis and Bailey together just from the standpoint that they have almost zero experience playing together.  Also would have DeVries guarding the 3.

Coach needed to shake things up....good move!

Not exactly SRO

[LamarCheeks]

Had to chuckle ... 

The BTN just reviewed a bunch of Martinelli highlights. He must've traveled in about 70% of the clips they showed!

Bruce Weber:  "If Northwestern can shoot it well and rebound, that gives them an advantage."

No ****, Bruce.

The radiologist I talked to said he doesn't think we'll win.

Yes if you have the football team suit up.

I've been to the BTT I think 8 of the last 10 years (not there this year)....these low seeded games always don't draw.

Tell that radiologist we are about to correlate clinically.

Tournament should permanently be in Indy!

[Whoozhers]

Well, Will our boys want to keep playing or head for spring break?

That is the Q.

GO HOOSIERS!!

[Home Jersey]

Nice. It was literally now or never for the Sam and Reed lineup.

Martinelli should exclusively be guarded by Reed Bailey

^^ From last game. ^^

He was the best choice for the role. By far.
