@ZachOsterman: KenPom conf. SOS of IU, this year's outright champ: .7406 (pre-Maryland). SOS for last year's outright champ, Wisconsin: .7320.

 

I was getting so mad last night after hearing over and over about how easy our SOS was.

It gets me most when they Wisco's was the worst. Though, I did not realize Ken Pom's SOS was a moving target during the season.

 

But, seriously? Teams like Rutgers have the worst SOS every year for the same reason teams like the Browns always have the worst SOS. They're bad teams and they don't play themselves. So, they drag everyone down who plays them and get pulled up by everyone they play. The very ability of Wisconsin to host Rutgers for a game shows they cannot have a worse SOS than Rutgers (unless Rutgers only had one-and-ones and away games with the bottoms teams in the conference and only home games against the top, then they have a shot at not being the worst. Oh, like they did this year I guess.)

Can I just say how much I love Robert Johnson's enthusiasm? I was watching highlights this morning and every big moment seemingly had a shot of Rojo going absolutely nuts/falling over on the bench. I thought he was a pretty subdued guy from his on-court demeanor but WOW does he love watching Yogi drain threes.

Fwiw. I believe Blackmon and Newkirk were together watching this game at Assembly. Hadn't heard Newkirk mentioned yet.

Dammit, I ran out of likes but still like post!

 

Lost in the celebration..

 

IU is the #1 seed in the BTT, MSU is likely the #2 seed in the BTT now.

Now if it will just work out that Purdue gets the 3 seed -- Wisky has to lose a game and we have to beat Maryland to make that possible. But PU/MSU as 2/3 means we could only face one of them.

Couple of interesting tidbits from various post-game write-ups:

 

Indiana has won seven of nine Big 10 games this season that were decided by a single-digit margin.

 

Zeisloft and Bielfeldt have combined to his 80-186 three-pointers

 

Yogi will leave having started more games than any player in program history. With more assists than any player in program history. As one of just two players in Big Ten’s 120-year history with 1,800 points, 400 rebounds and 600 assists.     [Who's #1?]

Dakich calling out Lyonel Anderson who was calling Dakich a hater heckling him at halftime. Dakich said he confronted Anderson and kept calling Anderson a "little b*tch" lol this is gold radio

I watched the footage of the encouragement he was giving to Juwan after his injury.

 

That dude is top notch!  He will be a leader on this team.

No clue tbh. But Yogi has a real chance to hit 2000 points.

Dee Brown from Illinois 2002 to 2006. Two time consensus All-American.

Yogi is currently at:

 

1892 points, 603 assists, 421 rebounds

This is easy to say now, but it is true.  Even when they came back from 14 down to take the lead, even when we missed nail in the coffin free throws, I never doubted we would win that game.  There is something special about this team.

Why oh why can we not inbound the ball. It's gonna cost us one day

it has. We need 2 or 3 options per play. It seems when option 1 fails, we panic.

Edit- I'm sure we have multiple other options but they don't appear to get open for whatever reason.

On the last inbounds play part of the reason we couldn't get open was our "routes."  Z3 ran a direct line to the sideline, where are you going?!, instead of cutting up court.  Also having a pressure release, like Bryant, helps in that scenario.  Bryant had just drained a few free throws without touching the rim.

CTC used to be labeled as a bad "in-game" coach.
I have to say last night, given the foul trouble, multiple looks on defense by Iowa, and different ways Iowa was attacking us on offense (bc of our players sitting from fouls), CTC's in-game coaching was top notch. Actually both coaches coached their respective teams very well in my opinion.

This has to be good for recruiting
