Official Illinois at Indiana Game thread

One thing I've always made a rule for myself, I will be nasty and call our team every name in the book during a game (players and coaches included) but that all stays in my living room.  What I choose to share online, as long as I am sufficiently sober (lol) I try to keep it on an even keel.  And admittedly I've failed at that task in the past on various boards.  But still...if I really want to bitch about something I tend to contain it to texts to my buddies lol.  I don't need to post vitriol on an online message board with strangers to vent.  Just how I roll I guess.

 

Yeah.  One too many personal posts.  Well, ten too many.  We try not being pricks.  We all have lives outside of here.  We all want to watch the games in peace.  We are all IU fans.  We don't mind the bitching about the team in general.  Our team is not very good.  The personal posts about players won't happen.  Chuck can be alright when he isn't posting emotional.  I used to be the same way.  Sometimes you have to look at what you write and question what it really adds.  I do it all of the time.  Not everything is roses.  Especially this team.  But, if the best you can bring to this board is personal comments that take away from our environment, that person won't last.

I really hope Evan can get it going sometime soon in conference play. The one thing he was suppose to bring to us was shooting, can't have halves of 0-5

LOL.

Stan needed to dunk that, looked like he was caught between laying it up and dunking it

Dude, I am completely the same way.  I have watched the Hoosiers for over 30 years now.  This team is driving me nuts, but I can act like an adult.

Two more points left on the floor. Those are adding up pretty fast. Could come back to haunt us later.

I wish troy would live inside more.

This game should not be this close we missed shots that should have been made.

[TheWatShot 14,121]

Another missed shot within 5 feet of the hoop. And now we're losing. Awesome.

Troy needs to learn you don't have to dunk every put back. 

[KingPG21 6,587]

Lay up issues killing us again

He was never going to bring much shooting, I don't know how the myth that Evan Gordon is a shooter got started.  This might be the only season in his collegiate career that he hasn't been less of a shooter than Will.

 

EDIT:  Okay, it's the second year he's had a better 3 pt % than Will.  He's shooting 35%, right in line with his career.

Ha, Noah was as confused on that last possession offensively as we are.  He was running through the lane with his hands up wondering what in the hell we are running.  Son, you aren't the only one.

What did Illinois just do after we scored those couple buckets in a row?

Never seen that before.

But... But, but.... How else do you get on The Sports Center Top 10???

Now don't get any ideas.  Crean will wash your mouth out with soap.

Crean has the john wooden philosophy I guess. Wooden always refused to call timeouts because he thought it was a sign of weakness and not being prepared. Seriously though I don't know why crean doesn't call timeouts.

Looking at his stats that makes more sense.

 

That was how some people tried to sell him as a player for us, and seems to be how Crean uses him in the offense. Haven't really watched enough of him prior to this year to say a ton on his game
