Official Indiana vs Ohio State Game Thread

[Scooter D 928]

Huge game today...a must for the Hoosiers. 

 

Not sure if this was covered in the Iowa game threads, but it Yogi takes the ball out of bounds, especially near the end of the game when we need our best FT shooter and ball handler getting the ball...I may stroke out.  He, of all the players, needs to know what is needed at that point in the game.

Keep hope alive! Go HOOSIERS !!![/quote]

Did that last year for Indy. Started out as disappointment, then decided to go and got to see Louisville/Oregon and MSU/Duke (I think those were the match ups). That was really fun. Then headed back for the Elite 8 and watched Kevin Ware snap his leg in half. That part wasn't so fun.

Hova,
Sounds great except obviously the broken leg incident. I never did watch the replay of it on TV. Certainly heard about it, just couldn't bare to watch it.

Extreme long shot for the Hoosiers to even make the tournament let alone make it to Memphis. We've got talent. "IF" it all is firing at the same time good things can happen!
GO HOOSIERS!!

Keys to the game:

- Noah Vonleh has to have a big game. He should have the clear advantage in the paint, and he has to stay in the game.

- Yogi has to get past Mr. I foul everyone but never get called for it Craft. Our offense has to life-line without Yogi.

- Sheehey takes out Ross. He's one of the better, if not the best offensive weapon for OSU. They can really struggle to score, so taking him out is crucial.

I think those three will lead us to victory.

Penn State is taking Wiscy to the wire on BTN right now. It's crazy to think, but if PSU wins this one there is a significant chance that 11/12 teams in the conference could be playing in postseason tournaments.

I think it's also important that the handful of fans who are there are loud..very very LOUD!  This will feel more like a neutral court game if attendance is as low as everyone is saying it will be.

[Hovadipo 56,257]

I'd like to try to run today like we did against Iowa. This is a battle of 2 bad half court offense teams. I'll also be watching Sam Thompson. I've seen him completely dominate a few games this season, so let's not allow him to get going. An overall team game like we played against Iowa should get us another W today.

Noah Vonleh not in pregame warmups at the moment for IU. Spokesman says he was at pregame shootaround earlier today. #iubb

Naw. Jeff Howard will have a career game today! 12 points 7 rebounds 5 fouls.

I've seen tweets from Peegs and Rabjohns that he is not warming up.  

 

Rabjohns says we may not see him today.  Peegs is asking if we can win without him.

We will be without Noah Vonleh today. He has foot inflammation and he is not going to go. Help us make up the difference@iucrimsonguard
