Hillsdale vs IU game thread, tip-off at 7 est

this is a little better now

[Parakeet Jones 3,740]

We're going to score in spurts, but we don't have the consistent offensive threats we had last year.  The question is can our defense be consistent enough to keep us in games when we're struggling offensively.  Can they create enough points off of turnovers to bridge the gap?

This is so much more enjoyable to watch...

People will think I am nuts, but I am not backing down from my 22 win prediction.  I really like this team.  I am usually on the low side with this stuff.  I didn't have high expectations, but certain things like Hanner and Troy make me feel better about the year.  We are going to be very good defensively.  In a game where you can't use your hands, you are going to be athletic and long to defend.  We are.  We have gotten away from driving the last few minutes and we can see what happens when we try to become a 3 point shooting team.  We won't be that good.  When we move the ball and get into the lane, we can be pretty dangerous.  IMO

I wouldn't back down either. I think that's really attainable for this squad. Going into conference play with only 1 or 2 losses will make that reachable.

I think our depth will really help this season also, not thinking we will win the B1G season, but think we will be a tough out.

I'm listening on radio because I'm having some trouble with the stream.  For those of you watching, HMP sounds like he is playing well and looking a lot better from the way Fisch is talking, what are  you guys seeing from him?

[Kineticz 87]

He is getting into great position, moving his feet really well.  Not reaching as much as he was last year.

He doesnt even look like the same player. Huge improvements.

If Noah can't make his free throws he'll be on the bench at the end of games, dude is 0-8 through 2 games, awful

Still not liking Jeremy running the point...

Something tells me you could end up posting this exact same thing on a cold night in February.  Hopefully I'm wrong.
