Official Indiana vs Illinois Game Thread

This is just a fundamental vid for Indiana/Illinois:

Remember Jordy was getting bashed in every thread for his defense at the time.

What's more amazing is you found a vid where Dakich only said 7-8 words in a minute.

I'm really looking forward to this game just to gauge what IU's potential is going to be this year.

 

I'm probably the last to know, but I'm excited that the IU Athletics store and TIS are finally selling the warm-up top! I bought mine within 5 minutes.

I have no idea what to expect from this game today. As long as we play hard and compete on both ends of the floor I'll be happy. I have really hated Illinois since that midcourt mess with Eric Gordon. Go Hoosiers!

[quote name="KingPG21" post="26285" timestamp="1388508271"]Do people think we'll see Noah for something closer to 30 minutes this afternoon? Luke being gone, and still don't think Hanner has shown much to trust him a ton in conference play. And playing Howard probably isn't a great option against B1G play either[/quote]

Yup. I think we see Noah until he fouls out. I'd guess Crean will let him get 3 fouls in the first half before pulling him. Noah is going to have to learn to play with fouls in a BIG way.

Most of his fouls always seem dumb anyway. Hopefully he can cut them out.

I hope we don't make the same mistake we made last time when we were in Champaign that did not go so well.

[quote name="mamasa" post="26286" timestamp="1388508355"]Just curious on this- if you have to DVR a game, do you follow the scoring on the game threads on here (or, blasphemy, a site like Yahoo! Sportacular), or do you avoid it so you can see the game on your own terms? I'm 50/50, depending on who we play. If it's a cupcake, I'll follow the thread. If it's a game I need to see, I'll avoid all media like the plague![/quote]

That all depends if it's a big game that I'm excited about. I'll watch it regardless but some of IU's cupcake games will just have the game on in the background and not pay 100% attention. Now a big game, if I can't watch it live. I turn my phone off, and any communication possible until I watch it.

I do miss being on Twitter during yr games and seeing peoples reactions.

That being said, I rarely miss a game. I've used owning BtownBanners & all that business to get out of plenty of events. Great excuse to watch games. "Sorry guys, I've gotta work during the IU games."

I joke, but this place can be a pain I. The @$$ to keep up and run :)

[LIHoosier 27,175]

Back on line...all right!

[JSHoosier 21,429]

I hope we don't make the same mistake we made last time when we were in Champaign that did not go so well.

Going by the looks of it we won't be in that situation anyway, and might have 20+ turnovers.

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Wahoo!  We're back

[Hovadipo 59,058]

Noah is playing like a man today. We need that. Glad to be back online btw...time to get a new host, yeah?

What is IU's record for most turnovers in a B1G game?

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Honestly pretty happy with how we've battled back.  The turnovers are a MAJOR concern, but we're hanging tough right now.  Let's hope this isn't Uconn & Notre Dame all over again where the second half turns ugly

Felt like I was cut off from the world, not being in the game thread lol

I REALLY want Gordon to bank a three at some point in this game.  (Like, really really want).  #iubb

[LIHoosier 27,175]

I hope Noah's been practicing his frees along with his threes.

[Dalton26 16,957]

Finally it's back. The host should be ashamed of itself for crashing pre-iubb.

I'd like to see a little run before halftime.

Wow. Love seeing Groce get T'd up!

[LIHoosier 27,175]

Groce's been T'd up, haha

[Dalton26 16,957]

I thought our guy got a T for clapping for a second. I was about to flip out.

I've developed a hatred for Groce during this game. It's just something about his face. Can't put a finger on it.
