IU vs Louisville Game Thread

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Crean just never needs to put that lineup from about the 5:30 mark in ever again. And then really never do it against UL. That started that massive slide

[Alford Bailey 12,356]

Maybe things have changed but I was taught zone defense is supposed to limit penetration into the lane?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,976]

Exactly, I just cringe every time Shulman says "and now IU going to their bench." Crean has to find a rotation of 7 or 8 tonight and not be afraid to have guys get tired.

A 'freaking' Men.

I've been singing this tune for 7 years.

I think we're playing pretty decent so far. Just rebound! I sense UL going cold in the 2nd half

If anything IU will go cold after shooting 70% from three.

[JaybobHoosier 11,839]

I thought the game plan was great, the team just got out of control. Sagging off of their 5 was brilliant, and worked initially. The team just didn't stick to it and went on a boneheaded tangent.

Just hope the team mans up and rebounds!

Classic Crean halftime interview. "We just need to calm down." Take your own advice and watch the game instead of working out subbing until you freaking get to April. Stick to the game plan. Pack it in on defense. And get in the refs face for once in your Indiana life. We may start getting a few calls then. What else are you here for? Protect your kids and give them the best chance to succeed. Oh, and by year 7 teach them hw to inbound a ball. Sorry folks, how many turnivers on inbounds? I have to laugh cause it just never gets better. What else can I do?

Exactly. I would rather lose watching our top 8 run out of gas than watch Stan turn it over one more time. I wouldn't mind playing 7 the rest of the way and leave Troy on the pine. Bad shots are the same as turnovers against this team.

[crazywillie 192]

We have no business being in this one as many dumb things as we do. Need to limit turnovers and block out..fundamentals

[ou812dude 3,326]

Holt, Hanner, or whoever has got to find Harrell on the baseline...

find him, and stick him...

 

come on fellas...

[LIHoosier 25,915]

Pretty good compared to how it started swinging there. Cut down their offensive boards, take a little better care of the ball, and don't give the ball to Troy and I like our chances.

Everyone go check the end of the VS Fashion Show and take a chill pill. We're RIGHT. THERE.

Or the opposite of that, Michigan is struggling against Eastern Michigan on ESPNU in a game only the Grinch would love.

[Alford Bailey 12,356]

My gosh, value the basketball and box out every once in a while and we can win this thing in the second half.

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

If yogi plays the rest of the way along with Z getting more minutes than Troy then I think we have a decent chance.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Wow.. so if we would have had 4 or so less bone head turnovers we may have the lead. Come on Stan.. it's in your head now!

Run the freaking offense.. make them play defense. As soon as we start running the set, we get good looks 90% of the time. KISS..

VS is doing just fine for me. Good lord.

[OliviaPope40 6,458]

Okay where is the music on Vitale's speech?

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

They have solid defense but come on.. we are doing it to ourself.

[chicagoHOOSIER 1,051]

We can beat Louisville.  They can't shoot.

[Frodaddy10 83]

What happened to Stan?? I'm shocked he crumbled like that. I thought this might be the athletic type game that he would thrive in!

[ou812dude 3,326]

am I the only one...

 

that still believes that we can still win???

 

lol...

 

I must be nuts...

[chicagoHOOSIER 1,051]

Don't leave Stan on an island with no ball handlers on the court with him again.
