IU Game Thread

[real chili 83]

Didn't know everyone has to be cheerleaders. Nothing went right in the first half, yet only down 13. However, stating that disappoints me. Even though we are on the road, we are an experienced team that is deep playing a young, short-handed team.

Hello Mayfair

[Lighthouse 84]

Why are you still watching?  You said it was over.

[warriors141]

Determining the rest of our season based on a half means you're a troll, idiot, or both. Which is it?

I have no faith in Wojo, maybe that makes me an idiot

It was the first half in the third game of the season against the first real opponent. Let's have some perspective here. One of the best coaches in the nation was down 44-17 at half at home tonight.

You're just being an idiot. Has nothing to do with not being a cheerleader.

[Cheeks]

Assembly Hall is really tough to play in. No excuses, but IU has done extremely well last 10 years vs ranked teams.  Amongst the best in the nation. Tough place.

[SoCalEagle]

I think we make a comeback.

MU by 4.

ok sounds good

[Mutaman]

We should have a separate thread for people who want to bitch at other posters.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Here's a positive, Joey Hauser looks like a feisty sumbitch! I like that!

[LoudMouth]

Let's see if Wojo can make some in game adjustments. I am not in the camp of wojo on the hot seat like some apocalypse now people are but hoping he can make some type of adjustments here

+1, last time I checked cbball games are 40 min, not 20. Go check the in game thread last year at Creighton .

[Lennys Tap]

We stunk, but IU (especially missing all those guys) isn't all that. Game's not over.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

ok sounds good

I'd love a logical explanation on why a poorly played half against a team that is about our equal in one of the toughest road environments in the country will be predictive of the rest of our season.

Please, have at it.

At the risk of opening this to Tony Smith insults, one positive is that while syncing 94.5FM with the FS1 feed, it's harder to hear the crowd go crazy when Indiana goes on a run

[Galway Eagle]

It's that Fitzner kid that's killing us really. He's got three fouls Romeo with 2. Attack the hell out of them

[Fred Garvin]

There's no way Bailey should be on that for

There's your answer.

[GrimmReaper33]

Yikes.  I thought everyone said the defense was improved this year?

[nyg]

Turnovers and defense is just destroying them now.  Way too many wide open threes for IU. 

MU scheme to double team, leading to these shots has been a pattern for awhile now, just not working. 

[tower912]

Speed kills.

[5DollarPitcher]

To rveryone saying there's too much overreaction. I think most of us are just tired and have seen this movie before... a number of times.  Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

[MattyWarrior]

Blow out wheres ed and our deep bench??

[esotericmindguy]

Say what you want, but this is not a well coached team. The defense is atrocious. There is way too much length and athleticism on this team to watch this mess.

[Mutaman]

Bucks overcoming poor play to move ahead of Memphis. Good coaching makes such a difference.
