What happened to OG? I had to miss most of the 2nd half

Hartman and OG were rebounding and Hartman's elbow hit OG's head. I was relieved to see him back in the game.

Hartman caught him with his right elbow on an offensive rebound attempt.  It would have dropped most people but OG went down onto one knee as they went into a media timeout.  They showed him walking down the steps back to the locker room and stumbling down the last few steps.

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

We held Sota to .91 PPP, the most we've allowed in the B1G this season is .97 to Nebrasketball.

Congrats to Yogi, finally playing a team game, complete game and leading these guys when they need it most

I think his replacement was already at the scorers table to come in, but yeah that does seem to be a pattern with Coach Crean. IMO, his sub patterns have been better this year... It looks like Coach has gone away from switching from man2man  to zone (or reverse) in the middle of a possession, so I'm just riding that sunshine right now.

Defense! I don't care who we played, we are playing better defense than I have seen in years. Rojo, even though his offense is sucking, he is a good defender. OG, good job, TB, good job, Hartman, good job, Z3 is still playing like a spidermonkey. TROY, STILL SUCKS AT DEFENSE! Always gets beat off the dribble or no jelpside. I don't get it. SIR Yogi!

[ALASKA HOOSIER]

That was a good win. Period

[Brass Cannon]

Great to get the win. 9-0 is looking possible.

[biteoftheapple]

I am happy to be 5-0 and look forward to #6.

Any top 25 teams lost this week that we would jump above?

11-7 is the absolute worst this team should be in conference, which means, given some of what's happened, 20 wins and a 7 seed or so....at worst.

 

All of the Yogi fans, he was efficient as heck today from an A/TO standpoint, and when he is, Indiana is very tough to beat.  But he was still 6-17 from the floor; and tends to shoot with volume.  When he does THAT, we're not as good.   He still needs to let the scoring opportunities come to him instead of looking for them.  I think that's what will make the difference between this team having a chance to do well in the post season or not.

I respectively disagree , yogi becomes more effective when he's aggressive. When he comes out aggressive looking to score the defense makes more adjustments to stop him which opens the game up for everyone else.

I didn't think Yogi forced too many shots today. I'll need to go back and watch again, but I thought most of his shots were good quality shots.

Evidenced by Troy not getting out to King on a simple ball screen with about 20 seconds left.  At the last second he kind of moved in his direction.  I honestly think Troy has difficulties with concentrating.

He missed some around the rim that would have been fouls at home.  I was happy to see him hit his FTs down the stretch and get some key assists for some buckets.  He forced some shots but didn't go into super hero ball.
