Scouting Indiana

[Huskerpapa]

Interesting turn of events...one has to wonder if this is just a short term issue...

[lanigan123]

Is in a boot today and is not playing? Please be out all week!

[Cookie Belcher]

Yes he isn't playing and was in a boot, heard he has been in a boot a lot this year though and this is the first game he has missed.

I agree that I hope he is out Wednesday too.

Indiana won. Beat osu. I am not overly optimistic we can beat them at their place.

Me neither.  Will be a tough task. 

[Huskerpapa]

They beat Ohio State without him.  When we beat them, I would hope they have no execuses.

Well Wednesday was already going to be tough, but it will be a little tougher now with Indiana on a mini roll. Assembly Hall will be rocking as the Hoosiers will start to gain a little momentum for the bubble if they beat the Huskers and Michigan in their road finale.

Need to bring the intensity, play smart, and attack the rim when the threes don't fall.

Kind of shocking....I kind of like us based of Vegas....with IU having two big wins...why would you not bet them at home

Huh?

[TomEadesSucks]

OSU lost that game more than IU won it. OSU was terrible beyond the arc and making FT's. Not saying Indiana won't be tough at home, but OSU played horribly and still could have won.

I noticed that big dude immediately. Hadn't seen him before but with Vonleh out, he really stepped up defensively and around the rim. Looked like a god awful FT shooter though. Could be a sergej game to use five fouls and put that dude on the line

Indiana is 58 in RPI. They have 17 wins.  They have beat Wisconsin, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.  They are pretty much going to jump us in bubble conversation if they beat us.   I would imagine they are looking forward to playing us at home.  This is going to be a very tough game.  We are the real deal if we win there.

I think if we can keep Sheehey (sp?) and Ferrell under combined 25-30 points, we should be in pretty good shape. We did a great job on Will at home.

Throw Benny on Yogi, and Shields on Sheehey. Wouldn't be against seeing rivers on Vonleh, either

[hhcmatt]

Anyone know who the refs are for this game or how/when one finds out this information?

He was not playing well all year really at that point though.  He has really stepped it up lately, shooting much better from deep.  And senior night on top of it.  Won't be easy to shut him down, but we need to find a way, as you mentioned.

Their RPI is 79.

Rosenthal sometimes tweets out the officials 30ish minutes before tip.

I hope it's Ted Valentine and I hope he makes Crean's head asplode.

In the first part of the game where Ohio State was leading, Indiana displayed terrible transition defense which led to plenty of easy baskets for OSU. If we can exploit their turnover problems we should be able to run and get a good amount of transition points. This could be huge as we generally tend to struggle to score on the road.

[AuroranHusker]

9er, FYI: Indiana beat Ohio State 72-64.

[49r]

WHOOPS!

 

Thanks for catching that Auroran!

 

Guess I was just getting used to putting down "L" for every game.  

[AuroranHusker]

We hope their next ballgame will be that 'L'!
