IU vs. MSU Postgame

[FKfootball 1,046]

Did we learn anything tonight? Honestly?

Not sure why this surprised anyone. Even the sports writers got this one right. Izzy is a great coach, this game was won way before it was played. If Crean didn't know the ball pressure was coming then I should be coaching. Didn't start slipping the screens until the second half. So so so bad. That prep should have been done easily in practice. No shame in losing there, or even having a bad game shooting, but to be shell shocked because we were unprepared is just unacceptable. And, it will never change, long season ahead I'm afraid. Everyone has the blue print and now can watch the film on how to execute.

Bo Ryan and Mark Turgeon, sure. But most Big Ten coaches arent on Izzos level.

You would be better served to go sort out an old filing cabinet or start working on 2014's taxes, Kyle. It was brutal.

Blackmon had about twelve deflections..........off the rim.

hahahahahahahaha! Perfect

. Yes, but Izzo just gave all the turd coaches the playbook. MSU is down this year so there are many teams that can big body and pressure us.

from what I'm reading sounds like we might as well had not even showed up

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,542]

Two stats tell the whole game story:

28.3% for IU

MSU outrebounded IU 50-28.

90 was possible for them.

lolololol

50-28. Our roster size is pretty similar. S'plain that?

Desire!

The up side to this is that's it's fairly obvious that Blackmon will not be going pro, hell the guy might end up being a 4 year starter and set a bunch of records. Just a couple decent bigs away from another big season next year that falls short of most expectations but is good enough for Glass to shove an extension down our throats.

I've picked my IU MVP for the night----NONE OF THEM!

I respectfuly disagree.

Emmitt came to play. If he doesnt start the next game somethings wrong.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,542]

Desire!

pathetic display of Heart, skill, basketball knowledge, etc, etc, etc... tonight.

[jwlacy17 10]

Does IU have any big man recruits? Assuming our team will be mostly the same.

[GloryDays 5,920]

Not sure i can drink enough beer to forget this one

That's what the make bourbon for!

Nothing likely.

[GloryDays 5,920]

Wishful thinking, however, maybe Caleb Swanigan saw how desperate IU is for a decent big and sees a lot of available playing time???

Probably sees the way they use Dawson and knows that's what he wants.

Holt played with some heart relative to the others but not Montrezl Harrell sized heart.

Plus, he's a undersized on the D end and lacking O skills to be the true big man of this team. Exactly the reason why Crean is begging and pleading Hanner to step up. I like Emmitt but we shouldn't have to rely on a reclassed, last minute, unheralded signee to contribute THIS year.

Again, roster management.
