IU vs Rutgers Game thread

**For anyone who couldn't read Crean's quote I referenced earlier; not sure why it has a colored background after copying and pasting off another site.**

 

"You just have to continue to move forward in everything that you do in this league," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "When you win, you've got to learn from that. When you lose, you've got to learn from that, and that's the sign of a very good team, when you can continue to learn from those areas. We've got to continue to build a hunger that allows us to do that, and allows us to make progress and continue to move forward into whatever the next challenge is, and Rutgers is for us."

We are Jay Williams' cinderella pick for the tourney this year. Loves our guard play.

*Aaaand cue the "durrr we shouldn't be cinderella we should be undefeated this is INDIANA durrrrrrrr"*

Well, I wouldn't say undefeated.......um maybe.... yea lets stick with it we should be undefeated !

here I am Bitches! Let's roll these Big Ten Wannabees and kick em out of the HALL! Let's go Hoosiers!

[Alford Bailey 12,399]

  I'd like to see this team take control of a game early and buckle down defensively and not let the opponent hang around..

We have a bad habit of building leads and then becoming passive on D and overly aggressive and careless on offense.

 I know we maintained a large lead on the Terps but I think that was due in large part to our insane shooting %. We cant shoot like that on a regular basis so the defense has to get better.

Lets crush these guys and do it with good fundamental D.

Go Hoosiers

Win with D? What a strange concept.

Yikes. Guess people still aren't over that Purdue loss.

[Parakeet Jones 3,779]

Per radio pregame, we are changing up the starters. No specifics yet.

[Alford Bailey 12,399]

Blackmon to the bench Yogi playing the 5 spot?

[MikeRoberts 7,090]

Blackmon to the bench Yogi playing the 5 spot?

based on last game I'm guessing Stan at center

[Parakeet Jones 3,779]

Starters:
Yogi
Hartman
JBJ
Z
Stan

[Alford Bailey 12,399]

Sat Troy and RJ. Trying to give Stan some confidence I guess.

I like Stan getting the start.... Like that coach is willing to make changes and see what happens..... Troy should bring a huge lift off the bench as soon as he comes in... Hope this helps Z as well... diagram the first play for him and see if we can get his shot back in the bucket!!!

The Penn St/Illini game will never end.

[Hovadipo 56,554]

Uh...wut is this starting lineup

[Naturalhoosier 15,435]

BTn2Go for me until this PSU/Illinois game is over.  Bleh.

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

Thank you for ending that awful game Illini. Go Hoosiers!

[TheWatShot 14,178]

I had a bad dream last night that we lost this game. Looks like Crean is flinging more crap at the wall and hoping it will stick. 

[LIHoosier 26,475]

Lethargic start.
