Indiana at Rutgers - 13:00 EST on ESPN2 - Official Game Thread

[TheWatShot 14,053]

At least we didn't lose. 

[AZ Hoosier 7,329]

Well, with JBJ out, Yogi had little competition for "Getting Mine".

 

OG will be good soon. Max (18 pts, 14 boards) was the star of the game. Not much else positive can be said.

[HoosierCoop 3,927]

Why do you continue to play somebody that is obviously not ready to play?

 

Rojo doesn't have it today...SIT HIM NOW!

[MoyeNeeded 3,073]

Cut the TO's down by 10 and score on half of them and could've topped 90pts. Seemed like TW and Johnson had more TO's than points, assist or rebounds.

IMHO, the entire team played as if they were hungover. I'm not implying in the slightest anyone was, but the vast majority of the team was just a step or three off today. It is the type of performance one would expect after hangover.

. It could be argued we lost in many ways other than the W.

"Season on the Drink"

That is an awful win...23 TOs makes me sick...they will be lucky to win 1 of the next 6.  I am so disgusted.

I did argue it earlier and was informed that the Committee will only pay attention to wins.

[colonel06 1,917]

The coaches did not have these guys razor sharp to kickstart the BIG season!

[HoosierCoop 3,927]

Any other team and that is a big freaking L.

 

Back to work and to put my desk back together.

 

Saturday better be good.  I do not want to those to that Cornhusker putz of a coach.

"Season on the Drink"

Season on the Drink:  The Fall of Tom Crean at Indiana

 

If the team wasn't drinking, their play was driving the fans to.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

Exactly the type of game I expected 

[Kepner 1,261]

I still don't understand how every year we hear that we are going to outrun every team but it never fails that in the last five minutes we play stall ball...doesnt make sense. I don't think Crean really understands what an uptempo offense is

. Good wins that is not this one I'm afraid!

Your answer is within your own statement lol

[colonel06 1,917]

Crean saying" this is not the Rutgers if last year, etc and these guys will win this year."

We're not really an uptempo team though.  We're 91 in adjusted tempo per Kenpom.  We also shouldn't be running when we turn the ball over 20%+ of our possessions.  It's a small miracle we are winning at all.

That is true. When they break down the bad losses, they aren't looking at how many turnovers we had against Rutgers...

[coonhounds 9,028]

Crean generally pleased with the performance and I felt blamed most our struggles on to many days off. That was my take on his comments
