I have my favorite teams and Indiana is one of them but I never miss a game when I’m working late at my job at DISH. I just use the DISH Game Finder app on my Hopper DVR so it automatically records my favorite team games I selected. Now I have convenience for recording and get to see my teams.

I think our offense really suffers anytime Yogi is out of the lineup. That might be a little too strong, I did see one game where Hulls was doing a solid job of distributing on the ball at the one and Remy settled into some nice minutes off the ball. But mainly, we have struggled to press the defense with Jordy on the ball or turned it over with VO handling it. I just watched the 1981 national championship game again and don’t really remember seeing the number eleven from that team come out of the game. Not really comparing Yogi to Isiah, but I think he can play nearly forty minutes in a tight game. I wonder if Crean will continue to go to the bench more frequently for Yogi when the other team switches to zone too?

These two have to step it up, be great leaders and take advantage of this opportunity. After what these two went through their first two years you would think they would be ready to seize the moment. If they continue to struggle an early exit is very possible.

It would be very embarrassing to lose to one of our founding fathers and a former president.

I heard an interview with Crean the other day and he said around January they started shortening the length of practice to guard against that.

LIU scares me for some reason. Don’t know why. Would much rather see James Madison.

And then, instruct him to drive instead of settling for the first 3 ball.

Hopefully, now that they’re in the tournament, the muggings will be disallowed and that number will rise again.

He must ride the hot hand to exploit the opponents weak match up, make in game adjustments to increase half court offensive efficiencies, and always keep our top 5 performers on the floor even if that means sitting a struggling SR like Hulls. This is one and done. We do not need rotations for the sake of keeping players happy or gaining experience.

The players play the game but the coaches decide who plays and what plays to run. Many fans here like to always blame the players for every aspect of a loss, but CTC has skin in the game.

To be the best you have to beat the best…..no more excuses!

Haven’t had it since the MSU game. That picture at the top of the article says it all. We haven’t had that kind of emotion during a time out for over a month now.

Get it back boys! Go Hoosiers!

He’s gotta know when the pass to CZ is there and when it isn’t as well. I love the fact that he is really looking for him but lately he has, at times, seemed to try and force it in to him when there isn’t really any angle there for it to happen without it being a turnover. Can remember this happening in the WI game more than once.

Amen. I have shouted that down the halls of ITH for 2 plus years now. CZ using a shot fake is not a good thing it’s a great thing and he has had nothing but good things happen the last 3 times he has used a shot fake, the bad thing tho is it has taken him the last 4 or 5 games for him to use a shot fake 3 times, literally. Each time he has used it he has, got an easier shot, went to the foul line and made both shots or got the basket to drop AND made the free throw. Then there is the added bonus of picking up a foul on his man or whoever is comeing over to double him and it puts us, a very good free throw shooting team, one foul closer to being in the bonus. Poor hops challenged CW could really help himself and his team if he would just use a shot fake. A large percentage of his shots that have gotten blocked could have been made shots or he could have went to the foul line where he converts at a high rate. Just doesn’t make sense to me that these guys just will not use it.

I find 1 similarity, between Watford, and Landon Turner. When they decide to play hard! the team is very hard to beat. Hulls it seems to me gets to amped up. He need to be thinking it’s me, the ball, and the rim. Relax and let it happen. You have done it a million times before. In the interviews they keep saying oh were just going to back and try to get better. That time is over! You should know what you are doing, now go out there and do it! Your the best now go prove it.

2) More defensive [pressure and TO’s
3) Regain our shooting touch..and not take quick shots in a half court game (need to try Cody first)
