IU vs. Suckeyes pre-game thread

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,277]

Less than 24 hours and we need to be pumped for this game. Let's go Hoosiers. Start posting OSU shot analytics, articles, and general I HATE OSU stuff. Let's take them to the woodshed! Go HOOSIERS!

Matta says that a "smaller line up vs Indiana might work"

Isn't it great to see all these teams we are playing having to adjust to us for a change!

Our SMALL BALL has everyone in the Big Ten scratching their head.

Winning on Road in B1G is really hard. We've done it twice, if we can do it once out of the next 2, things will be looking great.

For Ohio State----Russell will be better this game but Yogi needs to continue to wear him like a tight-fitting sweater!

 

Russell will get his points but hopefully it will take a lot of shots and a poor percentage.

 

Otherwise---we do what we do-----spread the floor----play fast---drive the gaps----kick to 3 point shooters!

 

This is going to be another great game to watch.

 

Continued intensity and hustle on the road are going to be key----calling Collin Hartman!

OH-HOW-I-HATE! (OH-HOW-I-HATE)

OH-HI-OH STATE! (OH-HI-OH STATE)

Oh how I hate Ohio State;

What the fuck is a buckeye?

Your mascot is a nut (a fucking nut!)

-A Michigan cheer, to the tune of a sped-up "when the Saints go marching in"

I don't know how long the team is going to keep this poised and inspired play up but winning tomorrow would definitely have a large target on our backs. That would probably result in a solid new ranking and the press would be all over it.

Then again, nothing rattles Blackmon

And I love the comment from Matta. We knocked the big ten back on their heels and it feels oh so good. My pants just moved...

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

With the way Yogi has been locking down the oppositions top (scoring) guard, I'm feeling confident. This OSU team is mediocre beyond Russell. Unless they can find another source of (consistent) scoring, they'll be in real trouble. 

 

Call it a close one, but I've got IU's spread offense being too much for OSU. 72-66.

[FortWayneHoosier 6,251]

This game scares me but I think we can pull it off I for sure thought no way at Nebraska, no way at Illinois, but it's looking like we may pull it off

[FKfootball 1,046]

They are in flux. Matta is experimenting. Win or lose I think Matta has that Program in Neutral and he wont be there much longer.

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

I want to be optimistic about this game, I really do. But damn is it hard to beat the same team twice in one season. I'm gonna be a negative Nancy and say we lose there and win at Purdue. Or maybe the other way around. Oh what do I know....

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,277]

IU needs a friggin' big ol' game against the Suckeyes. Wisconsin is in OT with Michigan right now. that would really separate us

I hate cheering for Michigan but I was. It didn't help though. I was thinking to myself who would of thought it if IU was sole possession of first place. Well we just have to keep on winning. Go Hoosiers!

Bring 'em on!  That pesky Aaron Craft is gone so it should be opened up somewhat compared to last year.

 

I don't know if we can expect the same poor shooting and play from the Bucks at home though...17-27 free throws. 34% from the field and were out rebounded by the Hoosiers.

 

I'd say we'll have to win 2 of those categories to win.  Certainly I think now we can expect to shoot much better than the 4-18 from behind the arc also!
