uneblinstu's postgame chatter : vol 17; ed 9 - Indiana

[Bugeaters1]

That was a much better effort tonight.

[HuskerFever]

[hskr4life]

Brice Williams with a big stat line OUTSIDE of points. That's what we need.

[REDZONEDAN]

Is there a team out there that does less with more talent than Indiana?  Their coach sucks.  I hope they sign him to a lifetime contract.  Easy win for us.

[basketballjones]

That was a physical game, damn. 

[Cazzie22]

Only saw the 2nd half but so pleased with the effort and intensity.  61% shooting won’t always be there but the effort should be.  

[brfrad]

2 field goals in the final 10 minutes for Indiana.  That was the difference from tonight to last Saturday.  That and us making shots helps, too.

[hskr4life]

1-1 is much better than 0-2.

[cozrulz]

Most of the game made me angry (maybe just annoyed) and we still won by 17.  Great last 4 minutes.  Bad free throw shooting.  Can't be missing front ends late in the game to extend the lead.  We are better than we showed.  Thankfully the reffing got better and they weren't buying what Indiana was trying to sell.

[Shawn Eichorst's Toupee]

IIRC correctly, it was tied at 64. Game ends 85-68. All gas, no brakes to the finish.

[Navin R. Johnson]

Indiana shot it much better than their norm for most of the first half so we couldn't pull away and the Rice kid was on fire which prevented us from pulling away and finally we did pull away at the end.  Nice win and obviously Brice was outstanding but the turnovers were frustrating.  I find it odd that coach went out and got Meah and Berke to help control the glass but opted to go small down the stretch thinking we could out score them, which we did.  Our depth helped us tonight.

Brice was all-B1G level tonight, and we needed it

Well I’m not so sure. That game might have already been over with 10 minutes left. But it’s already hazy for me.

Perusing an IU board and two things are certain.

 

1. many want Woodson fired yesterday.

2. Tominaga continues to haunt their dreams and was brought up in multiple threads over and over.

And when I say fired… the “Fire Coach Woodson” thread on BTown banners had over 1,300 pages.

Defending the vault is a great recipe for success. Let's keep the intensity as we go to Hawaii. Glad to see the veterans bounce back

[Huskerpapa]

Man oh man, that was fun!

 

Hoosier daddy!!!!

 

We won going away despite way too many turnovers and below average free throw shooting.

 

Indiana wanted physical, and we gave them what they wanted.

 

Bryce was an animal today.  Dude, bring that game every night.  Really like Connor and Andrew as well.  That is two Big Ten games in a row that he brought his lunch pail to work.  Gotta love it!

[Huskerpapa]

Just another note; there were a few times where we broke down defensively, and again when rebounding.  Other times we got a bit lazy after an offensive set and they simply beat us down the court.

 

I guess what I am saying is that we ran away from them the last five minutes, despite playing much less than perfect.

At one point he was better than Archie Miller but honestly as much money as those guys pour into NIL he's absolutely wasting the talent their with his style of basketball.  Hopefully he can win enough games to stay employed there.
