IU vs MD Pre-Game Thread

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Let's get the hype going! Huge game Thursday at 9 PM EST on ESPNU. Melo Trimble is coming off some big games, so we really need to lock him down.

@ShotAnalytics: Pro-tip for guarding Maryland frosh phenom Melo Trimble? Force him left: http://t.co/xLmmpFDPxL [attachment=1555:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1421723869.251588.jpg]

Yogi v Melo? Sign me up. 

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

keep him on the left! Keep him on the left!

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Yogi v Melo? Sign me up.

Probably going to see Yogi or Stan glued to his hip at all times. Who guards Layman? Troy?

@insidethehall: Looking ahead to IU-Maryland on Thursday, KenPom likes Maryland by 2 and Sagarin has it basically even when adjusted for home court. #iubb

Is it Thursday yet?

[BlueDevil 8,655]

I HATE Maryland. Melo will be Trimbling at the sight of having to guard KYF.

Hartman and Holt have to battle on the boards! We can't let out big men just get man handled on the boards.

Good stuff--can't believe we already have the Maryland thread going!

 

JBJ gets another chance to show what he's got too----looked good compared to Russell the 2nd half of OSU game----let's hope he brings it the entire game against Melo and Maryland.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I also suspect Yogi gets defensive duty on Melo .

 

Come on Yogi----Make  Melo-----Tremble! :biggrin:

Jake Layman of Gary, Indiana will probably have a little extra reason to shine playing in Assembly Hall in front of his fellow Indiana natives. Let's hope we can contain him.

Is he from Indiana? His bios on ESPN and Maryland say that he is from Massachusetts??

Odd. I definitely though I heard the announcers say he was during their last game. Couldn't confirm that though. Good catch.

If you got your info from a Big Ten announcer that is where you went wrong. They can't get anything right. Hell they said Troy was a lefty during the Illinois game.

Assembly Hall where the mighty fall!!

[FKfootball 1,046]

Blackmon guarding Wells. Oh boy.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Question is, whose guarding Hartman!!

Recipe for Thursday Night-

 

Take one (1) Team of Turtles; shucked from their shells and dump into boiling assembly cauldren. Cook for forty (40) minutes using five (5) Hoosiers at a time to keep the pot boiling. Serve on hardwood, garnishing with diet Pepsi (c) to taste. Serves (17,472), yields approximately fifteen to twenty (AP 15-20).

This game will be awfully tough

Next to Louisville, best team we've played so far. Need the Hall to be in peak performance mode.

This game WILL. BE. FUN.
