Meanwhile Ivan has been getting his s*** swatted out of there. 

He hasn't learned to play inside yet.  He will.  Hopefully, it will be downloaded into his DNA at halftime....

man, we get blocked a ton.

and just like that....sigh. 

[cipsucks]

Good timeout by Hoiberg.  We need to be within 4 at halftime.  Hopefully, ahead.

Cross never saw a shot he didn't like!

[Handy Johnson]

Just like that... down 9

[cipsucks]

ouch.

Good god Jervay!!!!

that's such a nut kicker. to play that hard and have a team that was phoning it in just wake up and say, "eff this. let's finish them". i feel for the guys, but we are just too outgunned.

If Hoiberg had Indiana's talent, he would not be playing on Wednesday of the Big 10 tournament.

That was kind of fun. I hope the boys continue to fight, and I hope Banks come in and shows those Hoosiers what a block really looks like.

I don't think they were phoning it in.  I think Archie is a terrible coach.  There is no excuse to have that collection of talent, and be playing on Wednesday of the Big 10 tournament.

Archie Miller reminds me of a tampon.  A tampon that has just been unwrapped.  An unwrapped tampon that doesn't really know what future lies ahead.  A tampon, that after realizing its future, is flushed down the toilet.  

 

I've been watching Green Book too much lately....

terrible coaches pile up bad losses during a season. this IU team has none. I saw a sloppy IU team most of the first half. Nevertheless, the talent is asserting itself now, whether it's coaching or the players is largely academic. they have better players.

Agree, definitely.

[B-town hoopsfan]

Arop definitely has big ten athletism. Can he develop big ten skill is the question?  If we are gonna compete next year I think we need to take a grad transfer big that can actually play like a big on some nights.

At times we played very well.  Our shot selection became questionable late in the first half.  I like Arop’s Efforts on the boards.  If Yvan could learn to power to the basket he might have a couple hoops.  I can’t complain about the overall performance.  We are just outmanned and will probably get blown out in 2nd.

It's as if, when Yvan starts to go up for a shot, he's really just 5-foot-7 and not 6-foot-8. At that point, he just looks so much shorter than the guys guarding him.

Charlie HAS to know his limitations, that forced shot was awful.
