IUBB vs. Ohio St. Post Game Thread

[LIHoosier 27,031]

In college, the clock goes to :15 or the existing time left; whichever is higher.

[Alford Bailey 12,518]

I may be going off old rules, but isn't every kicked ball a reset of the shot clock?  Then they changed it to only reset to :14 instead, now is that rule gone?

I said the same thing. Not sure if the rule changed.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

The rule is in effect. But, a kick was not called.

[Alford Bailey 12,518]

Yogi had a bad day offensively, but he deserves major props for locking down Russell.

Yea, I think Yogi had him frustrated. Dude was head bobbing 2-3 times on a drive trying to draw a foul and never got touched.

It requires the player to actually kick (at) the ball. In this case, there was no kicking action … Yogi simply dribbled it off the O$U player's foot.

I though this was a key factor also.

 

 

Yogi doesn't get enough credit for his defense.

[colonel06 1,921]

I don't think that lift that they all got in this week hurt them at all energy wise.

 

  Blackmon maybe was the exception even though he is so laid back its hard to tell.   He looked tired in the first half with a step slow and poor defense and shot selection.  Maybe Crean gave him some Red Bull at half time as he finally woke up and realized he was play in the BIG.

IDK, jury is still out.

Rob's, Yogi's, and Jame's long range jumper is still broke. We won despite it all.

Edit- Zman slump busted a little today but he's been Broke lately too.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Very good win! Another top 25 win under our belt. Lets make it 13-4 vs PSU!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

We are off to a good start in the Big Ten---now we just have to build on this one with some consistent performances.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I am worried about our shooting too----we need to break out of those doldrums because with just average defense we can win a lot of games when our offense is clicking!

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N 1,867]

Need 7 or 8 more wins to get into the tourney IMO. Glad we are having/had our shooting slump sooner rather than later.

We have won several close games this year. That might be a good sign. Penn St will be a good test on their mindset.

True. I said we'd be 2-2 after the first four(losses to MSU and PSU). This is the ultimate trap game. After a big win, at home, a team we "should" beat and before a huge road game at Allanoy. A win here against a well coached team shows growth IMO.

[shortspacequickness 1,034]

1. I hope Troy stops doing stuff like that or he might go. Pray he doesn't heed poor advice.

2. Good to get a win against one of the better teams in the B1G this year most likely.

3. Impressed with Emmitt. Hasn't pouted, and it's happening for him. Wouldn't be opposed to him starting.

4. Troubling that a team with guards like this seemingly can't finish games easier. Why the hell did Hartman pick up his dribble 85 feet from the rim? You never know sometimes.

5. Yogi is gonna get to play in the NBA if he guards like he has.

6. Did not think Crean coached his best game yesterday; thankfully, OSU's coach was inferior.

7. We are finally winning some of these grind it out games. Under Crean it used to seem like we won only when we played well. We are starting to win even when we don't. That's a good sign and an indicator that this group of kids is listening.

 

Sure would be nice to control the game Tuesday, but without a win Penn State will be scrapping and clawing. If IU can get that one and finally pull one out at Illinois... we'd be in pretty good shape.

 

Wasn't the prettiest game but can't complain about a ranked win. Going to need all of those we can get with no signature wins on the schedule.

Newbill is a great player. You always have to be worried against a guy like him. Penn St isnt a world beater, but they are good enough to beat us if we dont play well. They have some talent.

[hoosha61 386]

Stan shot FTs left handed today???? Is he back to shooting left handed only now?

I would prefer Stan NEVER shooting again. Just play D

[Whoozhers 3,741]

Not pretty. About gave it away late. We'll take the W!
Remember we beat unbeaten #3 last year and didn't make the dance.
Long way to go.
GO HOOSIERS!

[The Baby Bull 280]

Dude, I'm waiting for  Stan to shoot one FT with his left and then one with his right!  lol

And miss them both ?

[incrediboy 928]

I think we found water reaching its rightful level in this game. There was a time that adjectives like "pre-Zeller bad" were floating around this board. Obviously that was a gross overreaction. 

 

Matta had it right in the post-game: OSU missed enough shots it should have made to win. But on the road, those shots don't fall like they do at home. We'll have a much more uphill fight against OSU in Columbus.

 

We have now shown we can beat anyone we play in the B1G at home (we don't play Wisconsin in Bloomington). So if we can hold our own and steal just one more road game, that's 11-7 and a sure tournament bid. Are we better than that? 13-5 looks possible without guys with white coats coming in my direction. 

 

I think the Illinois game will show us if we're contenders or pretenders. And for sure we aren't good enough to take Penn State for granted...but the MSU loss should be fresh enough in our minds to keep that from happening.

 

The good news is that we have so much room for improvement that other teams don't have. Given what we saw early in the year, I think Crean has done a great job of getting these guys focused. 

 

I still think with our speed, our depth, our guards, our ball-handling capabilities and our quickness that we should be full-court pressing at least 30 minutes out of the 40.
