Live Game Thread - Indiana vs Michigan

Looks like we have normal starting lineup😒! Why PS starts is beyond me!!! Any word on if TG is available? Im at the game, no team is warming up yet!
Woody loves upperclassmen. He's said as much. That said, I don't get it either.
 
Can't get much more upperclass than Rob???
I agree, but Woody loves him some Stewart and Kopp. I'll go to my grave thinking both guys have salacious pictures of MW with a goat or something. 🐐

Side note: During crunch time, I was calling for Rob to be on the floor against Purdue. I know he's not a world-beater, but at least RP has hit big shots in his IU career.

Rob is an enigma. He for sure has had some clutch moments in his career. He's also had some pretty horrible finishes to games as well. I think we're all so starved in recent years for success, that the Butler shot, and the Purdue shot, have changed the reality of what Rob is...which is a very capable, but inconsistent player for us.

When you back it up a level though, and start looking for things that we need on THIS team...Rob is one of the few guys that's capable of creating decent shots for himself, and making them, under pressure. And we probably need more of that coming down the stretch. Because when teams take away the kickout passes, guys like Stewart and Kopp are useless.

Specifically today...Diabate and Dickinson are capable of stopping TJD and Race on their own. So late in this game, its likely that Kopp and Stewart will be basically wasted space on the court. I'd go with Bates and Rob if I were Woody, if the game is close, and they aren't doubling our bigs.
 
I guess teams never foul IU! yet another game with almost 10 minutes go by and 0 foul calls against Michigan!
 
Things looking A LOT easier for Michigan thus far. My fears that we just don't match up with them well are being realized.

Also, refs are calling ticky tack bullshit calls against us, and nothing on them.

This game isn't going to go well.
 
Boys.... pick up your jocks....or panties....and head back to Bloomington.

The guys have no heart today.... as it's been this way the last half of the season.

Turned if off. Good luck boys. Hope they wake up and start playing. They all said they knew your season was on the line. Strange they're playing like its just a preseason scrimmage thus far.

I'll be excited as heck if they figure it out and somehow win! Though that isn't going to happen in all likelihood.
 
Can anyone please step up and make a basket. Just atrocious.
Is anything more indicative of this team this year than Galloway stealing the inbounds pass and then getting it Rob, who blows the layup and then Michigan goes down on the break and scores?

Stick a knife in this. This is over.

Everyone looking at someone else to step up...even our 2nd team all Big10 player...
 
At some point the Coach has to own some of this with repeating same players and never adapting

I don't agree that Rob's "very capable".
 
You hit the nail on the head!!!!! All out there for themselves!!!!!!! Not a one is playing TEAM play.

They are all listening for that...... OHHHHH... from the crowd..... want to make that OHHHHH play.
I disagree. They all look like they are out there because they have to be. None of them look like they want to be out there. And how the hell does JG shoot 51% and not play 20 minutes per game? Kopp can’t play offense (unless he catches the ball while wide open and already set to shoot) or defense and gets more time than JG.
