Indiana vs Duke Game Thread

[The Ola Depot]

I'd start RoJo just to play defense on Allen.

That is what I would prefer happen but I don't know if a three guard lineup is a good idea and I don't see Crean benching Blackmon. Especially after Monday.

The excitement for this game went away after Maui but now that it's closer, it's hard to not get excited about IU playing a top 10 team.
Go Hoosiers!

I didn't know where to post this so I'm leaving it here. I live in Lexington Kentucky but I'm a Hoosier through and through (grew up in IN). This is what it's like being behind enemy lines. Thought it might make you all smile :)

Notice, only the Hoosier is smiling.  Likely the only one with all of their teeth.

I'll be watching the game in Baltimore with my best friend whose father was Steve Wojciechowski's high school bball coach. We've had this game circled on our calendars since it was announced. So pumped. 

 

IMO IU's only chance is to get hot from the perimeter and somehow manage to play decent perimeter defense and rebound/limit second chance points in the paint. Also, keep Grayson Allen out of the lane!! This should be a high scoring affair since these are two potent offenses. My prediction: Duke in a tight one 85 - 81.

I love it! What game day is all about!

My buddy is a die hard Dukie and he lives in Indy. I'm obviously a die hard Hoosier. He's driving an hour and a half southeast so we can watch it and talk sh*t the whole game. Please Lord do not make the trip worth while for him. I'm begging you! I won't hear the end of it if we lose

[Striper]

Few people have been able to sum up all that is Duke like Jalen Rose and Jimmy King...

Are fanny packs *that* bad??? I mean, look at all the useful stuff you can put in there...I'm just saying.

[ALASKA HOOSIER]

Do you know what "fanny" means in the United Kingdom?

One of the loudest crowds I have ever been around. Insane.

Yes they are.

[Hovadipo]

Yes they are.

You just can't appreciate functional accessories apparently...

[tyappleg]

Yes they are.

Dwayne Johnson disagrees.

We should play three guards against Duke. Their interior presence isn't as strong, and hot shooting is the only way we'll win. I think TB, Troy, RoJo, Yogi, and Blackmon would be the best lineup against Duke.

There's still no excuse for the white capris.

[SWEETLEMONbrown]

Any chance we see the zone again?

[biteoftheapple]

Maybe in the same possession as the man.

[Walking Boot of Doom]

We're going to win.

Harsh words.

 

Unfortunately, I heard they're true.

 

Worse, his white capris are pleated. With cargo pockets.
