Indiana @ Nebraska - Post-game thread - 1/2

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

OG was an OG this game. Gotta like an away win and some of our team really shined today.

 

I want them to take 10,000 FTs before the next game though.

 

Indiana defeats Nebraska 79-69.

Good win, needed to go 2-0 to open the B1G and we were able to do that.

I locked the other thread without clearing it with any other mods or talking to anyone to drive the post-game discussion into the post-game thread. We always end up with the same conversations happening twice when we stay split and this is how I've seen other forums handle that.

First game since craighton I am happy with the performance not entirely but thought we were solid at times. Ready to go back to the hall

Good game for us.  We needed to have a solid game.  Honestly it is huge to start the conference 2-0 on the road.  Will take that any day of the week.  Now we have Wisky and OSU at home next week.  We need to bring some energy to keep chugging in conference.

How dare you!!!!

I'll take 2 straight B1G road wins whether they're against Purdont and MSU or Nebraska and Buttgers. Solid start to the conference schedule. Excited for Tuesday!

Yep.  Where I am.  I was happy with 2nd half ND, but from start to finish this was better.

OG needs more PT
Yogi appears to be back
I stand by my statement in Troy shouldn't handle the PG spot at all
Defense was somewhat better


Good start to the league season. Although they are both at the bottom of the B1G, it helps our confidence. Need to continue this before we play the good schools.

Actually glad played first two on road now the students should be back for the games

This was OG's breakout game.  I hope he gets increased minutes in the near future.  TB hedged ball screens a lot better today.  JMor had some good plays in limited minutes as well.  It was nice to see Max hit 3-4 from the line in the last minute.  Yogi was got back to being the good Yogi.  Nice to see Z3 knock down a couple of triples too.  TB was effective on offense too.

 

Troy and RoJo struggled mightily today.  If JBJ is going to be out an extended amount of time those two have to step up.

I think Miles is quickly becoming my most disliked big ten coach. Winning these 2 road games was a must and they did just that.

[Hoosier Roots 743]

Thought yogi played well in the second half and definitely led us to victory. TB was a dog all game and was nearly unstoppable down low. OG is going to be good and I don't think it's even debatable now. Overall, other than the FTs, we played a decent game and got a good win on the road in conference play.

I don't believe students will be back for the Wisky or O$U games.

[cjvz20 896]

Well crap. They should come back early lol

[Trish 11,551]

Classes don't start till the 11th.

Dorms open back up Wednesday I think.

[Old Friend 8,389]

Liked the intensity.  We played with more purpose in the 2nd half.  Still no reason to trail Nebraska at halftime, and I think we tend to play down sometimes.  Too many unforced turnovers, and free throws are still a huge problem.

 

Progress and more positive than negative; but still a very imperfect team that will have a hard time beating teams that take away transition.

[cjvz20 896]

Well maybe bucks game they will be there

[schoosier 3,475]

Probably our best game played all year. We need to forever scrap the 3 guard lineup and design more plays to flow thru TB. Troy does not need to dribble and OG needs more minutes. I would also scrap the 3 man weave up top as it just kills time and doesn't effectively get us in a position to succeed. Kill the 3 man weave!

more than Crean? Pretty sure any poll would have Crean #1 in a landslide

In more relevant news, I was pleased with the players effort in the second half. Yogi, OG and Max looked good
