If this is another quick exit from the tournament is Crean in trouble? We know he isn't much of a tournament coach.

[Miller'sTheMan]

indeed.

Plus Crean will let Briscoe shoot open looks. Briscoe is hot and cold. Couldn't hit early. Getting better as season progresses.

Is Briscoe mid range or whatever? Because he hit 1 three pointer in his final 10 games. 

[AKHoosier]

Kentucky will let us run and gun.  Could be one of the better games of this tournament.  Should be a fun one to watch!  Just Hoping and PRAYING it's a night game and not during the day.

 

Seeing as how the NCAA obviously set this potential matchup to occur, there is a 0% chance this won't be a primetime tipoff.

After going 15-3, big ten championship, we should at least make it to the second weekend.

If we don't make it out the first, his seat will be the hottest it's ever been imo

when would tip time for Saturday be announced? I'm supposed to work until 8 [emoji31]

[mdn82]

On the road from the BTT. After looking at other games any guesses when our game will be?

[LIHoosier]

IU's game set for 7:10pm eastern. Can't find a channel; but with IU, pUKe, Kansas, and UConn in the same venue, I'm 99% sure it will be on CBS.

I think they usually come out later tonight.

yeah I saw 7:10 for Thursday but I want to know about Saturday. Haven't been able to find it

[Parakeet Jones]

I pulled out my Lindy's preview and it says they like to play pressure defense, force turnovers, and get easy baskets. Sounds like we might be able to play our tempo on them.

[DChoosier]

Jamal Murray and Tyler Ullis (sp) could give us major trouble in the backcourt. Especially if RoJo is rusty..

Is it even a sure thing that RoJo is playing Thursday?
I have not seen anything.

Confirmed, CBS.

he might if gotten better but not by much. I would let him shoot as well and even if we were up late in the game I would think about fouling him and make him hit free throws

I'd like to see RoJo play in this game. Just to get the rust out in preparation for the possible UK game.

[SteelerHoosier]

Gotta beat Chattanooga before we start thinking UK

Here we go.(and you are usually so positive:) ).....yes he should be fired if we lose to the Sagarin rated 8th team in the country, a team with a RPI of 12 vs our RPI of 24, etc. That loss would be totally inexplicable. Much, much worse than the Cleveland State and Pepperdine losses. Just a really, really bad loss. Probably the worst loss of all-time IU tournament history.

Just trying to help you write your post if we lose :)

[Trish]

Sounds like we have the hardest 12 seed to play against? 

 

Terrific. 

 

If we want to make a deep run, we need to be able to place at our fun,full court pace. None of this half-court stuff. Force Indiana to the half court game and it's not pretty for us.

Is that Kentucky? I would hope it's not Chatt haha.

 

 

At this point, i don't see us making it out the first weekend. I need to see us play on Thursday to make a better judgement.

UK. Chattanooga is 109 on Sagarin.
By the way, I agree the seat will be hot and natives restless if we lose the first game.
