Good call. Sorry for OSU fans...

So are they. Well, only a little bit but only because I haven't met a single person out here, much less an OSU fan, who watches college basketball instead of just watching their team and their conference tournament. I'm not confident they have watched VCU play.

There are a couple things about this IU team that give me hope in the region..

 

- Every player on the floor is dangerous from 3

- Senior All-American PG (and guards win championships)

- Serviceable big man who can hit shots

- Above average bench (8-9 deep)

- This team plays defense

It's been a while Baltimore.  Good to see you post again.

Playing defense better admittedly. Michigan game showed relapses of wide open layups. We must tighten that up. No excuses on miss assignments under the basket.

Listened to scum Pitino on the radio today. He ripped on Calipari and pissed off UK fans. The reason I bring him up is he said in a tournament setting they specifically prepare for 1. How to defend team 1st. 2. What kind of traps and pressure they run 2nd 3. How to exploit other team and find areas to score 3rd and finally 4. Inbounds plays.

Thought that was interesting. First 3 seem like common sense. Final one was intriguing. Pitino is a trashy slimeball but he knows how to coach, no doubting that.

Janitorinthegym indicated that Rob was ready for the Michigan game. Calculated decision not to play him it seems. Didn't pay off then. Hopefully it pays off this week.

Looking forward to seeing Rob shake off any rust vs the Mocs.

I want to see a tight lineup. No Niego or Burton.

Any news on Hartman? He looked really banged up. Acting odd.

Agreed.  That was a bad stretch with Niego and Burton

Hey mods. Just FYI I can't get on the web site from my desktop via Chrome. Guess we have a big problem

I am on Chrome right now... Couldn't post at first but could view after hitting "Back to Safety" a couple times... Finally clicked Details and then Go on to Site and then everything worked.

 

I know the Mods are working on a fix but just in case this can help you in the meantime.

I'm a little worried about their ability to get to the line. If we play the type of defense that we did vs Michigan, it might just be a first round exit. We have to avoid foul trouble. Troy can't get into foul trouble like he did last game. I'm very interested in seeing their press. 

 

They appear to be experienced. 29 Wins is no joke. There will be a 12-5 seed "upset" this year. I just hope we're not it. At least we're not playing Yale.
