Line up when Hanner gets healthy

[maharkn 1,800]

When Hanner gets back will go back the original lineup or will he keeps this lineup if they continue to play like they did tonight?

[BlueDevil 8,827]

Roll with what's workin keep it this 5 out

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Bruce Banner?

[Hovadipo 57,099]

Bruce Banner?

Sadly, banner #4 caught fire after Yogi's 392,039,284th triple tonight. Hopefully he recovers soon. ANYONE KNOW A TAILOR?!

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Worthwhile thread topic but you need to change the heading from "Banner" to "Hanner".

 

I'm with BlueDevil; we stick with what's working now.

Well, I can tell you for sure that Tom Crean doesn't know a tailor.

Can't believe I am saying it----but stick with what's working.

 

Stretch 5 Collin is getting it done....

[djsalway 4,161]

Stick with the starting 5, but allow hanner to come in when we're having trouble down low.

Where was Hanner last night? I was at the game and didn't see him.

Hanner Perea was in the Indiana locker room, I've been told, watching, taking notes. Not major issues or anything. #iubb

[Hutch89 2,946]

I'm not buying that...  He would be out there supporting his teammates, unless he was being disciplined for some reason.

Crean did the same with Troy and Stan at the beginning of the season too.  I just can't find that realistic that you'd have an injured Junior center in the locker room during a game this big.

I like this line up when we can pull it off. I think we need Hanner for bigger teams like Purdue and maybe Iowa. Hartman can't defend Hammons or Haas.

[Alford Bailey 12,421]

I say keep it as is but would almost bet the farm that Crean will go back to Hanner if he is 100%.

Hammons or Haas can't defend Hartman either. :)

Let me get this straight; he can defend Dodd and Layman, but he can't defend Haas or Hammons, and Hanner somehow can?

 

Disagree.

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

Honestly, I truly believe Crean will handle this on a game-to-game basis (as he should!). There are certain teams in the B1G where a stretch 5 is going to wreck havoc (Purdue comes to mind, let's see Hammons defend the perimeter) but I think there's a handful that will keep us too honest and effectively neutralize our stretch advantage (Iowa/Wisconsin specifically come to mind). 

 

Either way, Hartman is making it clear to the team, the fans, and the B1G at large what relentless, intelligent basketball can do. Ride the horse that's hot. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,024]

Hanner will have to earn his way back.

I would be extremely disappointed if Hanner is simply handed the starting role back.  Except for a few spots here and there his contributions haven't been nearly as significant as has Holt's (based on minutes played) and certainly not as significant as what we've gotten from Hartman the past several games.  I think we've ridden high expectations for Hanner far too long.

[Scooter D 928]

You stick with what works until it doesn't anymore...hopefully we can ride this train for a long while.  

 

Plus you have got to love CH...he is an Indiana kid and he is literally living the dream.

[chitown hoosier 743]

It's actually a really smart move by Crean to have Hartman start at the 5. Yeah we give up size on defense but we also draw away the opponents biggest defender from the paint with his range. What I loved was seeing Hartman take their bugs off the dribble once they stepped out to guard him. Stick with what we have and if we are getting beat down low then we can bring in Hanner to help. I'm really appreciating this team this year. They are so much fun to watch. I'd rather watch this offense than throwing it down low and trying to see our bigs score 1 on 3.
