Indiana vs. Maryland BTT POSTGAME Thread

[Alford Bailey 12,384]

I want TW to develop the defensive mindset of VO.

I said earlier today we would need a halftime cushion of 10 points which admittedly is almost impossible.

 

We played so hard these last 2 games and I think the guys were starting to show it in the legs a little with their long balls.

 

I don't think Blackmon is used to playing this hard at both ends of the court or he might not be in that shape to play tough "D" the whole game.. Tremendous team effort I thought.

You can tell by the amount of posts in this thread that JUST about everyone has had enough of this season (and coach).

[MikeRoberts 7,006]

Hope we see these guys in the tournament and settle this

its already been settled... Rubber match goes to Maryland

[GloryDays 5,920]

Zeisloft killed us tonight as well. 1rebound, 5 fouls, 0 points.

I just wish we could have consistency from anyone else not named Yogi Ferrell

The only complaint I have with the coaching is Hartman starting the second half instead of Emmitt and I can't believe I'm going to say this but Z-man playing so many minutes instead of Stan when he gave us nothing on offense and couldn't guard his man. Stan can guard.

.Great effort just came up short.

Hartman isnt near 100%

Good effort. Amazing game by Holt. Very solid for Yogi. Disappointing season. Coach should have had us competing 2 months ago. Now they do it?? Nobody is shocked with us losing. Can't totally complain with today's loss but our strategy in the final minute was horrible after Rob's free throws.

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

I guess I have to give credit to MD'd 3-5 zone too.  We did an excellent job rebounding against that zone.  Coach Chambers comments really hit home.

Had to DVR the game and just finished watching. Went immediately to this site because I'm so pissed and had to talk to some IU fans. I felt the officiating in this game was incredibly one-sided, but one call in particular almost made me put my foot through the screen. Haven't had a chance to read much of the game thread but, what in the FLYING BLUE HELL WAS UP WITH THAT LANE VIOLATION CALL?!!!! I mean C'mon man, my boys are working their tails off trying to get in the lead, down a couple with a minute to go and you call some phantom crap like that??? No one else in America saw that one. It wasn't enough that you gave Trimble a call every time he drove past the 3point line on principal, while JBJ, Yogi, and Holt were getting pummeled with nothing??? Ok B1G, I'm calling you out. I don't give a damn about your east coast TV contract money. You keep these games fair. I don't care what anyone says, that whole game was severely suspect. That mysterious lane violation call made me sick to my stomach. Now, my boys missed some shots and that's a tough way to lose in it's self, but to lose a game that may have been pre-determined, well, that's disgusting.

[BigJoe 55]

17 shots with 2 assists or so not so good for a point guard

29 minutes not enough for Troy- all around, one of the best players..he should play nearly the whole game

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Our wbole defensive philosphy is flawed. We seem to want to get the ball and go. But taking the ball from the net is a flawed concept. Offensively, when we make quick passes and move the ball, we do well. But, too many timrs player movement becomes stalled. We can be an exciting team, but rely on the 3 heavily. This team has heart and desire, but I believe they have been shorted on the game plan.

Officiating was bad but we shot ourselves in the foot several times. Had our chances just couldnt get over the hump.

That lane violation was a flat out crime. I felt like the Permian Panthers in the title game. That was just bad and I hope that ref hears about it.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,370]

The fouls on their layups and the fouls on our layups were so completely one sided. Awful

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,370]

Then again, the "underdog" shouldn't get the 50/50 calls right.

Doesnt help when the coach wont chew some a** and stand up for his guys.

I'm pretty sure it was noted by several fans that Crean was lighting into refs tonight

I couldn't believe it Hova. After the replay, I sat there slack-jawed, in pure, dumbfounded, dis-belief. Then I realized it was actually happening, and I started screaming! Look at time and score you dolt!! Not unless it's blatant, but fact is, it never happened!! Suspect Hova, Damn suspect.

I said admittedly regrettable words. I know it wasn't, but it looked like an intentional phantom call. It was THAT bad. Completely ruined our chances.

[FKfootball 1,046]

In the replay, Troy Williams foot was in the lane before the shot. He didnt stand behind the line. It was boneheadish on his part. Correct call. We didnt lose because of officiating. We lost because our only good defender is 5"11 and had to guard their 6"5 stud who can post up. Do the math.
