IU vs Morehead St Post Game Thread

Nice decisive victory. Love the defensive effort. Like others, I am slightly skeptical given the opponent is not known for having much stick offensively. Overall improvement in many areas, including their best yet (that I've watched) protecting the ball. Keep working hard boys, keep making improvements each game.

I refuse to take anything away from this game.  Its been this teams style to show flashes of brilliance.  Give me a sustained stretch of ten or so games and I will consider we have turned a corner.  Till then, glad we got the win.

"Last 12-13 minutes we were on fumes" then why play the starters to the very last minute?

 

How can anyone take this guy seriously? My God.

It looked to me like the effort was better although against a lesser opponent. The somewhat selfish play at times is still disturbing. These are still the same players who were considered a top 15 team before the season started so there is still hope.

That pre-season rating was pretty delusional. Sadly this team is going nowhere and we need to brace ourselves for another disappointing season.

Late to the party. Nice win. I have said all year we are a different (better) team at home.

 

Much better defensive effort and effort in general.

 

We actually saw some progress tonight which is a welcome sight.

 

Max was my MVP----hustles and plays smart. 

 

Overall--I was pleased but I am not going to get too excited until we show this effort in a road game or beat a better team. 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

One thing is clear---the team knows the whole country is looking for better defense from them. 

 

Let's hope tonight was the first step.

 

Great shooting night again.

 

I loved the turnovers we forced as well.

Maybe to get them into better shape when they'll have to bring that defensive intensity into bigger games?

Idk man I feel like they are already the best in shape team in the big ten. I think it has more to do with why they flame out towards the end of the year.

Could be.  I was just trying to find a reason lol.

What a roller coaster at the start...it looked like "here we go again" the first few minutes. Then the team we've all expected showed up.

 

Now we have to see if we can do this against a real team.

 

And, frankly, we'll need more than an 8-man rotation (I know OG played, but not much when it counted and what did he accomplish when out there against a weak opponent?) to prosper in the B1G.

 

I am encouraged but not convinced.

[Alford Bailey 13,189]

We pretty much overwhelmed Morehead after the first few minutes. TB is young and still learning but I love the fact that he doesn't take any crap off the older guys who screw up constantly as well. If he sticks around he may be a pretty good leader.

This is probably not the place to post this but I'm taking my wife's 96 yo grandfather to the McNeese game on Saturday. Just the two of us. He has never been AH. I took him to Hinkle two years. He's a big sports fan. Follows lots of Indiana teams, and I really wanted to take him for his birthday. Turns 97 later this month. Mind still going strong, body, less so. Anyway, wanted to take him to a classic B-town restaurant. He is a retired Presbyterian minister so bar scene and alcohol not really options. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Life long IU fan but never went to IU for school. Thanks for any input. Mods, if I need to move this just let me know.

He does like pizza. Mother Bears a family atmosphere? Sorry, I've never been. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes family friendly. Best pizza in town and highly ranked in the US. They serve alcohol but its family friendly.

You would be doing him a disservice by not taking him to Mother Bears.

[jgries84 82]

Not worried about them serving it. Just didn't want it flaunted. I have no issue would with it. Thanks a bunch. I'll try Mother Bear's.

[Feathery 4,005]

Mother bears is where my wife and I go before games to eat. When we don't make it there it bums my wife out because it has become a tradition for us.
