Way ahead of you.I pray to the powers above that we do not get the same crew that we had for last year's foul-fest OT win in Bloomington.

My perception of Trent has just always been that he’s so streaky. When that kid is feeling it, I DEFINITELY want him spotting up for a three, even over Plummer! However, over the course of the season, he’s just less consistent at shooting.In my mind…It seems like Trent’s pretty lethal from the deep corners too. But maybe the #s show something else?

I like the Payne match up with TJD. Indiana has had too many home games to be able to know how good they are but don't let Indy guards get going is key too.IU is my Missouri. For that reason alone, this is a must win. But I also think that to stay on a 4 loss pace, we need to win at least one of the next two. And I think we will.
TJD is going to feel Kofi.
He’s shooting what? 43%?My perception of Trent has just always been that he’s so streaky. When that kid is feeling it, I DEFINITELY want him spotting up for a three, even over Plummer! However, over the course of the season, he’s just less consistent at shooting.
It showed Trent with 0 blocks and I saw him block a three from Bohannon !!!!In B10 play, TJD is tied for first in Torvik's D-PRPG metric. Sure, stats don't tell the whole story, but if you doubt the metric's validity, check the rest of the top five.
When he isn't everything to every possession and gets a couple minutes off he is better. Let's see that metric starting last game and here on outHe’s shooting what? 43%?
He started the season off on a tear. He wasn’t going to shoot 50% in the B1G with the volume of shots he takes.
He’s been coldish, but we’ve been winning and his man is glued to him on the peremiter.
Let’s hope he likes the sight lines in Bloomington.
when I was that age I didn't get exhausted despite fighting in Vietnam with little to no sleep, hard dangerous work, and inconsistent food, on a DAILY basis 24/7 for weeks/months at a timeHe's had to drive a ton this year. Plus he's probably exhausted playing so many minutes.
This game could pay many dividends. Indiana is sneaky good. Take this W, and I think we really have a chance at a good run. The Purdue game will be a bettle and we’ll be up for that. But this Indiana game will take focus.
Nice . . . . the Loosiers will be ever renamed as the Indiana Dung Beetles!
back in the day before cable and the big TV deals the Big 10 played Thursday and Saturday games only.Back in the day this happened every year. Just the way they did the scheduling.
There was usually a featured Wednesday and Sunday game.back in the day before cable and the big TV deals the Big 10 played Thursday and Saturday games only.
Not in the 70’s. If my memory is correct. Yes, in the 80’s they started to add days like a Weds and Sunday. Then we got into Big Monday which Bobby Knight hated as we as a conference always got the 8 o’clock game. Then Super Tuesday came along and now with FS1 and the B1G network, we can play any night of the week.There was usually a featured Wednesday and Sunday game.

That's showing block rate, but it looks like Trent's been credited with only one block this year, during the Arizona game.It showed Trent with 0 blocks and I saw him block a three from Bohannon !!!!
Damn zen....that sh#t just got real!
I'm not ever complaining about bad hotel beds and meals again.
....and Gil Thorp.Go back even further to the 50s. The only game was the Cubs on Sunday afternoon. You had to read about Skip Thoren, Tal Brody, Bogie Redmond, et al.
I remember when Plummer transferred there was a guy that posted on here who was a big Utah fan and gave a very nice write up on him. He said that Plummer was a streaky shooter, that one night he will look like the best player on the court and on other nights be almost non-existent. I don't think we have seen him be that up and down. Even on his "bad" nights he has a big impact. Everyone that plays us is on notice they can't give him an inch of space or they're gonna get killed from behind the arc and that makes it easier on Kofi. When Grandison, Plummer, and Frazier are all out there the defense has to extend out to the perimeter which makes it much easier for us to get the ball inside. In years past when we didn't have many 3 point threats the defense would sag and dare us to take them and it was harder to make good entry passes to Kofi and it was easier to double team him.He’s shooting what? 43%?
