LittleHurt05 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 14, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) You don't have to. They're completely loaded. As long as they stay healthy there are only a dozen or so teams that can stay on the court with them. Gus Johnson after Shurna makes a 30 footer to go into half: "Shurna....OHHHH.....SHURNA from the HASH!" Love it. I heart Gus Johnson. It's early, but I think this a must-win for Northwestern to keep alive any tourney aspirations they might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ISU-KU is entertaining as f***. EDIT: Another Booker bomb. Up to 7-8 from behind the arc in Big 12 play. Also, Royce White with another double-double with 5 minutes left in the first half. 10 and 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 14, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) FSU destroyed UNC, odd. FSU always beats one highly ranked team at home it seems under Hamilton each season. For as bad as FSU has looked, the line was only UNC -6 today. That just screamed out that FSU was the play.

It's early, but I think this a must-win for Northwestern to keep alive any tourney aspirations they might have. Good thing they won. Honestly, I don't think it was a must-win, but they are only a few chances on the schedule to pick up a win like that. I think the difference from previous years is that they actually have a pretty decent non-conference resume. Seton Hall is surprisingly turning into a quality win and their losses (Baylor and at Creighton) are anything but bad. Entering today they were 30th in the RPI and 10th in SOS. Both numbers will go up. I'm not saying they're in a good spot, but a winning Big Ten record should be enough, especially with a top tier win in hand.

That'll happen when you play OSU twice, MSU, and UM to in your first 6 games. They'll be fine. The schedule gets better from here on out. If you told me we'd be 3-3 right now before the BT started, I'd take that in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_Gawn Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Indiana laid one against Minny, I highly doubt that happens against ILL. I don't think you wanna get into some of the stinkers your team has played. Bruce might want to realize he has more talent than his idle Gene Keady ever had and adjust accordingly.

Indiana won't have a problem with Illinois. I don't think it's going to be as easy you're making it sound. It's really contingent on two things really (for IU): getting Meyers Leonard into early foul trouble (likely because the game is @IU) and shooting a good % from 3. I did research on some IU games (6 B1G games + 1 tough OOC game) and I found some interesting things. Out of those 7 games IU shot 60% or better from 3 in three of those games (kind of absurd). They won those three games by a total of 9 points. In the remaining four games they shot under 40% from 3 in each and are 1-3 with the point differential being -31, including a home loss to minnesota. The one game they won they got OSU's best scorers into foul trouble. All of them. None of Sullinger, Buford, and Thomas were able to play 30+ minutes in that game (and they all do in tightly contested games- well over 30 minutes usually). I'm not saying UI is going to win, but I'd calm down before making IU sound like a powerhouse. Shooting 30-40% from 3 is much more likely to happen than shooting 60% from 3. When that happens it usually doesn't bode well for IU when they play a team with a pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He_Gawn Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 11:47 PM) Glenn Robinson? I'm talking as a collective team. Heck, it's not even fair to Glenn to say he was Gene's player. He came to Purdue because of Frank Kendrick. He took a nap halfway through Knight and Keady's home visit. And judging by his apartment and vehicle (for a kid from Gary, Indiana), there's no chance it was a clean recruitment anyway. But back to IU/IL. I was pissed and drinking heavily last night. It won't be easy for IU, but I fully expect them to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be easy for IU, but I fully expect them to win. I have no idea what to expect in that game. On the one hand I could see Illinois getting blown out of the gym like they did at Purdue. I can also see them gutting out a tough win like they did against Northwestern. It does, seem, however that Indiana's shooting is coming back down to earth the last few weeks. So that'll help.
