Agree on playing the younger bigs---we have to have them develop.

 

DD---hope your recovery is Ultra-Speedy.

Yeah dd would help but I don't think he will play this year. Just hoping he makes a good recovery so he can at least enjoy his life

Please someone get me the stat on layup attempts and makes for EW!!! Just sickening on the interior...uugggggg no way we should lose to this caliber team, especially in the AH..

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

This is an upset alert special----we are only favored by 12 and we better bring our A game against a 3-1 sqad!

 

Well crap.

Well crap.

did...did..did you just quote yourself?

hey...I like that...

you da man!

TW must have a AH record for dunks tonight

 

Self promotion always wins out over teamwork. What a pathetic showing of alleged "basketball". This team is going to get plowed under big time the conference games.

Grand Jury declined to indict for those of you who are interested.

 

They must not have been watching this game. Plenty to indict about here.

Hoo - Hoo - Hoosiers? That's a great question after this debacle. Unfortunately CTC, is losing me as a supporter. Once thought he was the 2nd coming. Now, not so sure.

[IUfanNcinci 279]

It's the same old CTC CANT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS I don't uuuugghh don't even have words IVe defended the coach but starting to rethink this....I know it's just one game but?

The Hoosiers (4-0) hope to continue their winning ways against the Eastern Washington Eagles (3-1) tonight at 7:30 EST. The game will be broadcasted on ESPNW or ESPN3.

Our post defense has been exploited ruthlessly thus far in our first four games, but don't expect that to continue tonight. The Eagles offense relies even more on shots behind the arc than the trigger-happy Hoosiers. Check out these stats:

@AssemblyCall: E. Washington stats: 53.6% of shots are 3s … and 48.5% of their points are from 3s. They are #1 in the country for both. #iubb (via kenpom)

The big concern of the season thus far has been the defensive preparedness of Hanner Mosquera-Perea. So far there hasn't been much to celebrate. Tonight should be a little different and test perimeter defense of our guards and their ability to shut down the open pass. KenPom's adjusted offensive rating for the Eagles has them ranked at 78th in the country. Let's hope our young team is up for the challenge!

On the bright side, the Eagles adjusted defensive ranking places them at a horrid 231st rank. Translation: JBJ and Bombers are gonna eat tonight.

Quick Glance:

Ken Pomeroy Team Rank - Indiana 35th; Eastern Washington 151st

KenPom likes IU by 12 with an 88% chance of victory.

Vegas Line - Indiana -13 vs Eastern Washington +13 (Indiana 13 point favorite, tipoff 730pm ESPNEWS)

GO HOOSIERS!

Unless Hanner craps the bed and none of our guards can keep there man in front of them and instead of replacing HMP with Holt or April we just play a 4 guard line-up with Troy Williams, a 4 with no awareness on defense in the post, at the 5******
