This team has a problem with focus. Playing a physical team, you have to anticipate the shot and be thinking about where your guy is and getting a body on him. And, focus on gathering the ball with both hands and strength. Free throws are also focus, and after what I believe was a CMW ass-chewing, we shot what, 21-23? This is a good team but they don't stay focused enough on those details to win tough games and it doesn't matter whether the opponent is Rutgers, Wisconsin or Purdue.Woodson looked pretty upset after the game when talking to the press. Talked about getting good looks and just not making shots (not a surprise, this was something that was a potential issue identified before the season) but what was really eating at him was rebounding which, it was apparent from the opening tip, IU was going to be hammered on the boards.
The rebounding has been bad in other games too, even NC. IU simply gives up too many offensive boards to opponents. Not sure what's going on because a lot of times they either don't get position and block out or come down with the ball sort of and get it stripped. It's like they have weak hands. Maybe it's because they want the transition buckets and are looking to break and get the pass out before the board is secured. I don't know.
Plus IU is still a really poor FT shooting team. The bench didn't do much in this game either.
And your presence here shows how little it means to you!I think you dramatically over emphasize the importance to RU fans, of RUs dominance over Indiana. It’s not really that big of a deal. It’s become accepted fact. As an RU fan I expected a win. Indiana is soft. It’s just a bad match up for Indiana. It’s been this way for years.
I think you have a seriously over-inflated view of Indianas reputation.
Indiana hasn’t been a consistent top level team in the Big10 for a very long time
Everyone knows this. Except, it seems, Indiana fans who think it’s still 1984. Just fact.
RU fans are really not that impressed with Indiana.
Thanks for the condescending praise…. as transparent as it was
I figured this would result in a ban. Sure enough. The Indiana fans are as SOFT as your team.
From Washington in 1776 to Thomas Edison to Shaquille ONeal, your backwoods state can’t come close to all we have contributed to this great nation. You’re welcome.
I'm 20 minutes from NYC and a beautiful hike in western NJ or NY state, 40 minutes from the shore and boardwalk and about an hour from Philly. What could Indiana possibly offer me that would make me want to live there other than lower taxes. When it comes to things to do, one state reigns supreme. but you wouldn't know that if you've never been to NJ.I thought so
my favorite line was “rich history”.
In what exactly, it is ****ing NJ
We have mods? Who knew.How in the hell do the mods let this trash continue to stink the place up?
I banned at least 20 Rutgers fans in the last 24 hours. 20 more and the whole fanbase will be banned.We have mods? Who knew.
There you are! 1 game…..do you realize how stupid you look? Really stupid fwiw
Exactly. Anyone that thought this team wasn’t going to have a few bad games just wasn’t being honest with themselves.Guys, we got beat. On the road.
It really emphasizes that 75 76 team that went 63-1.
Good jolt back to reality.
Get JHS healthy, have Malik foul less, figure out how they shut down our paint play and counter that, and be a little more picky about who shoots a three.
Long season. Give Woodson and the team a chance to bounce back.
We were in the same Final Four as the Indiana team that went undefeated in 1976Ok sweat pea. Whatever you say. WTF has Rutgers ever done in sports that is relevant? I'll wait.
I have never posted a meme. Shouldn’t you be posting intelligently?Shouldn’t you be posting in memes??
OK Pauly DI'm 20 minutes from NYC and a beautiful hike in western NJ or NY state, 40 minutes from the shore and boardwalk and about an hour from Philly. What could Indiana possibly offer me that would make me want to live there other than lower taxes.

This whole "you're from NJ", "Guidos", "oh well the home game in Feb will be a super easy win (when you haven't won in a long stretch"...is why our fanbase cannot stand your insufferable fanbase. By far the worst fans that ever visit the rac.
That’s the Indiana mindset against Rutgers the last 5 years … “Maybe next game !!”See you in February LMAO
It’s a toughness issue. As in mental toughness. Acting angry on the court doesn’t make one mentally tough. Getting chippy to the point where I think a punch might be thrown doesn’t make someone mentally tough. Trash talking, or arguing with the refs doesn’t mean you care more than someone that just goes about their business playing the game.This team has a problem with focus.

What’s a matter. …no one on RU board to play with? Does RU even have a board?
This was your super bowl today. I watched the Miami game. You’ll be lucky to see the NIT.
Just out of curiosity:
Why can’t we congratulate Rutgers on the fine game they played?
Why does Rutgers feel the need to come on an IU board and be obnoxious?
All of our states have pluses and minuses.
Again, I am just trying to learn, but if two schools cannot co exist with dignity how are different cultures supposed to mesh?
So….should I cancel my Final 4 tickets now?
We actually have a pretty good chance of not finishing “Final 4” in our own conference.
Mayberry U strikes again.
The legacy of Scotty Dolson!
