Curious to why you think Purdue would crush us?

Is it because we're not in Assembly Hall? if so then yes i could see that happening. Totally different team away from Bloomington

pretty much. They are a beast. Not playing at home. A chance to make coaching adjustments. Revenge. Respect. Neutral court. Available roster. Etc. I think they are better.

We are a fine team and played hard for our Seniors and coach. We are no juggernaut.

We can win some games still, no doubt.

But from the beginning of the year, I thought Purdue has a better roster than us.

I love winning but rest is also important. Look at Iowa. They was tired before they even played us in Bloomington. Reminds me of IU every year with Crean.

Uconn and Shabazz beg to differ. I'll take momentum. These kids are young. I'll also beg to blame Iowas and Indiana's late season swoons to lacking confidence and momentum vs being tired. Tired of losing maybe. Changes style and selfishness when losing. It's momentum again.

How? Other than Troy the whole team was going 80% today. Unless you're a bubble team, winning is punishment in conference tournaments.

I remember Wisconsin and Michigan St making the B1G Championship game last year. Their NCAA appearance turned out okay.

 

Not sure why people want to lose or don't mind losing the B1G tourney?

We may get Rojo back but another week doesnt help Morgan. That shoulder is in his head and we might be getting about 80% out of him. Gonna take the summer for the kid to quit worrying about it.

. Recurrent dislocation will require surgery in off season if that is the problem

Man, I can't get over it. That was in the bag. These tickets were really expensive. I can't give tomorrow's full session away and I'm not staying. I'll never do this again. Good luck nxt week.

Dude, I feel for you. I was thinking about going tomorrow. Dont have to worry about it now.

Is this a serious question? How would you track this? Rest helps players with injuries. We currently have two rotation players with injuries. Logic says rest would help this Tom Crean coached team, just as it would any team with injured players.

I'm going to go repeatedly bang my head into a wall now.

I am not saying rest doesn't help but we were in this exact same situation playing Maryland. Michigan is not as good as Maryland. We should have beat them with or without Rojo and Juwan.

Duke won one game and didn't make the ACC championship game  last year and they ended up fine as well.

I just hope all the players and coaches learned from this. Last two weeks everyone played their game and didn't try to do too much. Today multiple players got out of their comfort zone trying to step up. We play burton who hasn't played in how long. Niego played more mins then normal. Let's stick with what got us the Bigten and go shock the world in ncaa

One game with a bye puts you in the semifinals. If IU beats Michigan the way they should have then loses to Purdue in a tight game in the Semis I for one would not be complaining.

 

It is continually losing games we shouldn't lose. Wake, UNLV, Penn St, Michigan. These are games we should win it we just show up ready to play.
