People love to throw that term 'trap game' which doesn't exist in my mind but especially not in this case. This is a road game at IU. This is a big game and this team knows it. If they lose it won't be because it was a 'trap game'.This is the classic trap game, which it shouldn't be because Indiana is pretty good. It's sandwiched right between Iowa and Wisconsin. I'm more confident in our game vs Wisconsin than this one. It just has the feel of an "oh no" game.
Another big one. Come out with the same energy and we should come out with the win. Going to be intense though. Indiana will be playing for their season, but if we show up we will win
Bloomington is a tuff place to Win "normally" but I also think we will will but closer game then most think..Even though it's a road game against long-time archrival Indiana, it's probably our easiest game of the next 3.
No - But almost all teams after coming back from virus layoff has had a really tuff time..I think this game will show if we have matured yet. Not hard to get up for the Iowa game, but we had trouble getting up for games prior to that. If we have the Iowa intensity, we have turned the corner on the season and I like our chances to still win at least a share of the B10. Obviously, I think anyway, every game is a must win to win the B10 unless Michigan falls apart on their layoff. Anyone heard if any Michigan BB players came down with the virus?
Not only is Indiana a bubble team at best right now, but I think Archie is coaching for his job.Another big one. Come out with the same energy and we should come out with the win. Going to be intense though. Indiana will be playing for their season, but if we show up we will win
Gonna have to win a couple on the road to make up for the blips at home.Bloomington is a tuff place to Win "normally" but I also think we will will but closer game then most think..
67-61
The lineup change has elevated our game. Grandy is much more of a scorer and X factor player than Monte.I think this game will show if we have matured yet.

I think Archie still has some time. I'm not following Indiana recruiting very closely, but he's got just one big-time player in the current starting line-up. He needs more talent.The lineup change has elevated our game. Grandy is much more of a scorer and X factor player than Monte.
Yep, it looked to me like he's still having trouble moving like he used to. Good thing Grandison is stepping it up.We need to get Adam Miller back on track. He was 0-3 vs Iowa. DaMonte must still be hobbled since he only took 1 shot and missed.
They "need" a tournament bid and not a NIT !!I think Archie still has some time. I'm not following Indiana recruiting very closely, but he's got just one big-time player in the current starting line-up. He needs more talent.
We play like we did against Iowa we win. We play like we did against Md. we lose. The way we played against Iowa we are in the final four. Can’t be Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
He said we practiced awesomely last week. Don't think you will get the before game info. You'll just have to worry like all of us. Wouldn't be much fun if we knew the ending.It is funny that Coach, like a broken record, states "we did not practice well" every time we get a L
He should make that statement before the game, so we can lower our BP and sleep wellb
And he tried to screw us with a 4 second call against Iowa.I just hope Larry Scirotto isn’t officiating. He’s done 4 Illini games this year; Rutgers, Maryland, NW, and Iowa.
Refs don't really matter. It's all about the players.I just hope Larry Scirotto isn’t officiating. He’s done 4 Illini games this year; Rutgers, Maryland, NW, and Iowa.
