Hmmm...
Please to win.
We'll go 1-2 between this, Stanford and Syracuse in my opinion.

I feel decent about this one. They have a week schedule so far. Our crowd should really start to be filling in with this game. We're playing well, and it's a big big quality game OOC.
I'll honestly be happy if we go 2-2 against Indiana, Standford, Syracuse, and St. Bon. 11/27/2011 10:17:56 AM

so they have Tyler Zeller's brother, and he's (one of) their best players as a freshman.. I'm sure he will be discussed during the game.

Indiana looks pretty legit this year. They haven't played anyone yet but they've beaten everyone easily. We'll know a little more about them after they play Butler today (but even Butler isn't a tournament team this year).
IU looks great offensively, solid defensively, but weak at rebounding. They shoot the ball well from the outside but they don't rely heavily on outside shooting so far (perhaps due to the competition they've played).
Should be a great game, and our best chance at pulling off an upset in our three big remaining non conference games. I'd say IU opens as ~2 point favorites. 11/27/2011 3:00:48 PM

At least for the first half, they really didn't look that great last night. Very sloppy - and that was at home for their big in-state game of the year. Even playing cupcakes, they still could put up 90+ points, so they should be a good match...but I don't see why we can't pull out the W at home by 8-10 points. 11/28/2011 10:52:31 AM

Indiana's only away game has been at Evansville. They have a young team, and if the arena gets rowdy they could be rattled.
I support booing Zeller early and often. 11/28/2011 8:20:05 PM

I like the toughness and ball skills that de Thaey brings to the table, but I'm pretty sure that he and Alex Johnson will be competing all year to see who can miss more wide-open 3's. I'd rather have Wood take a contested 3 than de Thaey or Johnson take an open one. Still, he will get a ton of pt this year as an inside-outside forward. Don't expect to see much of Harris now that de Thaey is in the fold. We have solid frontcourt depth.
I don't know much about Indiana, but do we send in Vandenberg as a goon primarily tasked with disrupting Zeller? 11/28/2011 10:05:11 PM

Bullet All American 28165 Posts user info edit post |
I think it might be little early to make an assessment of De Thaey's three-point shot. I mean, he's only played 16 minutes and taken 3 threes. 11/28/2011 10:16:47 PM

I hope so. Everyone's said (and by everyone I mean the coaching staff) that de thaey can shoot the three, I don't mind him clanking a few threes a game as long as he keeps getting those hustle rebounds and putbacks, more than makes up for some missed threes. dude will be a beast inside player in the years to come. 11/28/2011 10:20:40 PM

29% is ugly but if he can get into 35% territory and stretch the defense from the wing we need all the help we can get this year with the outside shooting.
If it wasn't for Wood we'd be one of the worst outside shooting teams in the country this year (we're not that far away with him). Thankfully we are remarkably efficient on 2's and have the ability to get to the line. Our passing is the key this year, we're generating an unbelievable amount of assists per made basket. 11/28/2011 10:37:57 PM
