in the first 5 games of the conference season. Loved the lift that our bench gave us today and I probably should appolozize to Hoestel because when they brought him in the first time I was not happy but he gave us some strong minutes
How many had us 4-1
- Thread starter IU Scott
- Start date
I had to watch the replay of the rebound foul...
I thought he had slammed that rebound through as I was watching live action. That would have been wicked nasty, foul or no.

I had IU 2-3 at this point and 11-7 in the BIG. 23-8 overall...
They've now made up for the E. Washington and Georgetown losses and have the exact overall record that I had predicted up to this point. 23-8 doesn't look like such a joke anymore! Granted, we've caught some breaks with injuries to key players for SMU, Nebraska and Illinois, but we've had our own injury issues to deal with so it's pretty much a wash.
If we beat Maryland at Assembly Hall, I will start dreaming of a 1989 type conference title run. Regardless, I really enjoy watching this team play.

Twin has a raging love for all things IU. Like a jilted lover, he hates the fact he still loves IU.

I also forgot about Pitt who played without Wright and ...
Johnson. Saying it's a wash probably did take it a bit far, but I was thinking that without Davis and now Hanner that IU is playing with a frontcourt like I've never seen before in a major conference. The oppositions injuries have been to to much better players, but IU's losses might be more noticeable when you look out and see Hartman defending the post.
There's obviously some smoke and mirrors at work shaping our record, but the team does seem to be playing with some fire and great chemistry.

I think having Hartman in there helps drastically
though he may not have the physical skills, he's probably our smartest player.
I was just saying Illinois has their best player and starting PG out. The PG we knew of before making our predictions. SMu was missing Kennedy, and Martin IIRC had just returned but was still banged up. Though the Nebraska injury wasn't as well noted that guy was supposed to be their starting post and when he went down it changed Pitchford's role, and he struggling mightily since. Pitt had three guys, including their two best players, out or suspended when we played them.
We're lucky so far in that we've not lost a key player and those teams that were equal, close or better in talent have had major injury issues. LeVert just went down today. They were already struggling badly and that should probably kill their chances at anything.

This guy here did. I believe the day after the Louisville meltdown I said they would finish no worse than 3rd in the Big Ten this season.
The fact that we are undersized down low is very key.
Teams have to adjust to the players that they have. If you cannot adjust then you will lose. Nobody thinks IU is going to win a championship, but at least they are playing their hearts out (exception Michigan State game).

So is that why IU has exceeded expectations thus far?
Is it because in most games against the better teams, at least from what you seem to be pointing at, key players have been missing? And isn't IU missing Hanner and Devin Davis? Here's another question for you, i'm dying to hear this; why do you think Hartman is our 'smartest' player? What is it that Hartman does that makes him our 'smartest?'
Can your laughable reliance upon analytics answer all of these? I'm fairly certain analytics doesn't answer basketball intelligence, so i'm very much looking forward to comparing answers in regard to how you define basketball intelligence compared to how i define it.
So, do tell, i need the amusement!
