This is awesome. No complaints.  Keep it up Hoosiers!

 

Our freshmen do not look like freshmen anymore.

[Parakeet Jones 3,745]

It's one half and I certainly am aware of history and don't want to get carried away, but maybe a light bulb has/is finally coming on with this group. Time will tell.

So what's the difference? Why all of a sudden have become a good team vs. a mediocre to less-than-mediocre team? JBJ's lack of defensive effort is no longer an issue; emergence of OG; what else?

Our offense have been better, less ISOs


Defense

Rebounding

Just smart plays, looking for the teammates

What an excellent half of basketball. Fast, athletic, and under control. Very proud of this team on how they handled the early season criticism, defensive woes, and the loss of one of their leaders. I think these guys are really starting to get it. They are tough, tough, kids and they are beginning to believe in themselves.

OG Rob Hartman. HUSTLERS!!! Morgan next tier, but still doing that thing!! Bryant playing like a monster, he's an A#%hole out there and I love it. Good thing is, they're all coming back next year!!!!

Troy Williams my god son. Guy can play basketball!!!!

[Naturalhoosier 15,407]

What a freaking half of MFing INDIANA basketball!!!!! I jumped out of my seat multiple times cheering for these guys. A couple cases of goosebumps too.

Keep that pedal down boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSIERS!!!!!!!!!!

[DChoosier 8,056]

12 assists and 5 turnovers.
No, those numbers are not backwards.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Good to see Troy bounce back (literally) in a good way today!

[BlueDevil 8,683]

I just want a really solid second half. Do not relinquish this massive lead and step on their throats. FINISH!

[coonhounds 8,845]

Not going to get to excited cause if anybody can blow a 30 point lead it is us. I hope we play another solid half because this is fun

[Ranger78 1,293]

Best Half of basketball in the Crean era. The turn around on the DEF side is the difference. Keep it up boys.

[NRT137 316]

Wow Ohio State sucks

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I just love that we are hustling on defense---helping--- and getting on the ground after loose balls.  This is fun to watch.

[hoosierdogg 3,177]

The guys are really playing as a team. Never mind the score. We are playing team defense, team offense. Look at the result. I love it.

18 baskets on 12 assists, and only 5 turnovers.  Outstanding.

It's one half and I certainly am aware of history and don't want to get carried away, but maybe a light bulb has/is finally coming on with this group. Time will tell.

Next away game will tell that I feel. Where NW won by 25 last night.

[coonhounds 8,845]

Nah oh st just sucks. But I do love the dominating effort by every player!

I disagree. We out hustled and played excellent defense and shot the ball well. That will make alot of teams look bad

[FortWayneHoosier 6,089]

Let's drop a 100 on em!

[Yogi'sBicep 1,048]

This is a team I can root for and love. Hustle and all the floor for every ball.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I hope we keep this up because it will give me some great conversation starters with the UK fans tomorrow since O$U beat them earlier in the year.  We need all the ammo we can get down here in Southern Indiana!

[Yogi'sBicep 1,048]

The rebound difference has to be astounding? Yogi is playing within himself and not forcing, geeat
