(5) Indiana v. (1) UNC - Pregame Thread

[IUsince1980 315]

So not only is Friday Crean's birthday but the UNC game marks IUs 100th tourney game. It's fate and we have to win right? ;)

I feel so confident about this game and i normally dont.......I think if we win this game then we have a VERY good chance getting to the final four

I hope the coaching staff really emphasizes to Bryant that he must avoid cheap little fouls. He has to be in the game.

Have the IU vs VCU game on BTN right now.  Man, I still get chills when Watford goes back to back 3's towards the end of the 1st half.  Loved that game!

Turned it on just in time to see an IU 5 second call. God, I hated that press.

All 3 people on Bleacher Report doing their previews for each game, picked IU to lose. They even "guaranteed" IU as one of 5 teams to not make it past the sweet 16 along with Cuse, A&M, Nova, and Iowa State. I hope the team is so motivated by this crap.

The only guarantee in that is losing brain cells reading Bleacher Report.

We made it to philly safe. Going to practice tomorrow and visiting the downtown area and such.

Will report how practice goes

Especially on those hedge screens 20 ft away from the basket.

From Pete D's article in the News-Sentinel.

If only it were true.....

“If I see it, I take it,” Williams adds. “If I don’t have it, kick it out to my teammates for threes or back-cuts or things like that.”

That's what needs to happen Troy. But, I've seen you too many times trying to dribble through 3 defenders only to get the ball STOLEN.

PLEASE do as you say and not as you do and we'll be just fine.

GO TROY!

GO HOOSIERS!

ON TO HOUSTON!!!

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

While I agree with you Troy turns the ball over too often in these situations, often times Troys good play sparks the team to go on a nice run, as well. We are not as good as we are, less Troy.

"Often" yes. Often enough. Debatable. If he just played a "little" more within himself he'd be unstoppable IMO.

He def has the talent.

GO HOOSIERS!!

Basically they'll have video of the practice streaming via an app - Periscope. I have a meeting at 1 today so I may not be able to post it but there should be a link from their twitter account, click on the link and you should be able to see the practice.
