I do believe we have a ball coach here. I remember struggling to even pull away from these teams a couple years ago. Now we are focused on making sure the ass beating lasts the full 20 minutes. Long way to go, but a promising start.
Darian DeVries on his team's defense: "After two games, I like my first-half team. The first-half team’s been good. … I didn’t think our intensity in both the second halves defensively was up to our standard." #iubb
As much as I’d like to see Hoover’s ceiling, I think it’s time to see what Grant Wilson can do. If it’s not much better, wait until Hoover is completely healthy, and let him come back with a chance to be the hero and win the entire fanbase back. Could be what he needs mentally!
@stmcgee Did schools give 2 hour delays when Purdue basketball was in the national championship? Not a troll, I just genuinely don’t remember. Would be an interesting comparison!
@Wag49769Wagner @gwizzy12 Nobody makes a fuss when all these other P4 teams play 3 cupcakes each year. Plus, everyone says “they don’t play anybody” when IU plays teams like Maryland (a team that beat Virginia by 2 scores last year) so they wouldn’t get any credit for playing UVA anyway. What’s the point?
Indiana is at 1.615 points per possession in the second half and are still facing the same deficit they did at halftime
For as much as everyone still moans about the offense, the defense is still (& always has been) the thing to cripple #iubb in terms of their play on the court
