Indiana (11-3) vs. Nebraska (8-6) Game Thread

[jayschool]

Pretty even half. Outrebounded 17-15, but we have one more three than IU. T on McVeigh gave IU two points they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Both teams shooting at 50+ percent.

Way better substitutions today. Hammond's length really makes a difference on defense. He looks fine out there. The Morrow at the 5 experiment needs to die forever.

It's nice to see we're starting to trust the freshmen to contribute offensively because they're capable.

Where was this intensity the past few weeks? Win or lose at least we brought it this game.

I think a lot of it is the opponent.  Miles and Crean have no love loss between them.  Probably brought a little more intensity in practice.  Also, the freshmen are playing well, especially on the offensive end.  With their inexperience, they have a little more pep in their step on the defensive end.

we're going to need a big half from shields. 3 points just isn't enough.

What did McVeigh do for his T?

 

He was going for a rebound.  The Indiana player hog tied him, and finally the refs called a foul.  After the foul, McVeigh kind of screamed directed at the Indiana player.  Not a great idea, but something that would probably not be called half the time.

Also, Northwestern is a good team. I wasn't all that disappointed with the last game's effort from players. I just hated that we didn't see Hammond. I thought Miles coached away that W.

Got excited after a ball went out off a Hoosieras they fought for the rebound. Yelled, I thought at the play/crowd, but the official said taunting.

19 points from the freshmen helps a lot.  White and Shields get to their averages and we have a great chance to win this thing.

Bryant is really good at getting position early.  Jacobson had no chance when he gets within 3 feet of the basket.

This Bryant could one day be as good as Dererk Pardon. Yes, THEEE Dererk Pardon.

Good news:  We've only given up 3 offensive rebounds today.

 

Bad news:  They aren't missing any shots.  Shooting 57.6% from the floor.

That's pretty high praise.

Bryant getting away with some stuff, now.  First, he hip checks either Benny or Glynn as they are guarding Farrell.  Then, Tai grabs a rebound, and he reaches over the top of him, while pushing him out of bounds.

[jayschool]

Crap.

I thought the ball was coming off the rim when Morrow tipped it back in.  Now the game has completely turned.

White cannot sit.  He has to be on the floor.  I love the fact that Indiana can push, but Nebraska puts a hand on Indiana and a foul call comes.

Agree 100%

Shields gets matched up with Yogi, and we have to post him up.  It's happened at least 5 times by my count, and we do nothing.

[hhcscott]

I feel for Ed Morrow. Just can't get any momentum.

Hammond riding the stationary bike.

[cozrulz]

Umm...  Defensive foul?

[brfrad]

That was an absolute horrible no call when Shields got knocked down.

Andrew White needs to start shooting more.
