IU @ Illinois Post Game

[Brass Cannon 25,003]

Wow announcers on ESPN2 just said didn't know if Indiana can win Bigten both picking Msu. Do they not know the standings

 

Well it is ESPN so my guess is, NO,  Or did they mean Tournament?

Maybe talking about the tourney?

Great 2nd half by our guys. Which is good. Wish we'd start better though. Played better without Williams tonight it seemed.

yeah think the run in first half after down 14-4 was with him on bench. I know the run in second half was with him on bench. But also think we need him to play good to get to next level of basketball

In fairness, I thought they were referring to the B1G Tourney

Steph Curry just hit a 3 in this thread.

This made me chuckle. Well played!

guy said everyone in Bigten chasing Msu was thinking meant regular season but might be talking Bigten tourney

CTC did some good adjustments tonight. We need some better inbounds plays

Yogi took control in the second half.  Who would have though at the beginning of the season that the Hoosiers could have that kind of a half on the road after a poor first half WITHOUT JBJ, RoJo and TW for most of the half.  Our freshman - wow, please come back  next year Mr. Bryant.  A front court of Bryant, Davis and the duo Ojuwanunoby, and senior Hartman - that is scary good.

Thats next on improvement list.

Best second half we've played all year. Granted it was against Illinois, but still. Wow

Michigan has to be up there though, no?

If you would've told me while walking out of Cameron that #iubb would be here now, I'd have smacked you & your mama. Unbelievable turnabout.

You expect ESPN to know what's going on with the B1G...?  They have important things to worry about like Dook, Simmons, ACC, Simmons, SEC, and other stuff of that nature

[AKHoosier 7,126]

Give Crean a ton of credit tonight.

 

With the B1G title in the balance, he coached a remarkable game considering it's a road game and one of his starters was out.

 

Every win is a big win now.

[cjvz20 896]

Just rewound it. Didnt say anything bout tourney just said everyone chasing Msu in Bigten and Lawson said didn't know if Iu could win regular season. So no idea what talking bout.

Tom Crean says on the radio that it was indeed a thigh bruise for Troy Williams tonight. #iubb

[HoosierAloha 30,077]

Troy can take this team from very good to great but he also can take this team from very good to below average.  He can win and lose games for IU.

Two of his starters out.  JBJ and RoJo.  Plus Troy sat injured for most of the second half.

Illinois Loyalty Forum is melting down after the beat down tonight... I hate those guys

[hoosierdogg 3,228]

We went through the motions in the first half but those boys came out firing in the second half.  47-19 in the second half.  Glad Max, Z3, Niego, and company got the W over their home state school. 

 

1.5 up with 2 games left and games against the second place teams.  Let's close it out Hoosiers!!!

If OSU and PU both win this weekend (possible - both home games), IU can clinch at least a tie for the B1G championship without playing.  This is painful to say, but c'mon Buckeyes and Boilers.  Also, depending on outcomes of other games with teams ranked above IU, Hoosiers should move in the polls come Monday.
