THE GOOD: BENDING, NOT BREAKING. Heck of a win tonight in Happy Valley. Sure, Penn State was a meek 0-5 in the Big Ten heading into this game, but a young Hoosiers team like this isn’t supposed to get conference ...
THE GOOD: IT’S A WIN. There are plenty of things this young Hoosiers team has yet to master, yet to grasp, yet to learn. And so far this season — and especially as of late in losses to Illinois and ...
Yes, that byline is correct. Ryan’s got the night off, so I’m taking the reigns on tonight’s GBU. Now, onward … THE GOOD: IU WAS IN THE GAME, FOR 35 MINUTES. For as much as Indiana struggled, and boy did ...
THE GOOD: CONSISTENCY, EXECUTION, AGGRESSION. The Good Hoosiers showed up tonight in Bloomington. After the Bad Hoosiers lacked any sense of urgency in Columbus earlier this week, IU was a completely different squad this evening. They played like they wanted ...
BAD AND UGLY: YEAH, WE’RE STARTING IN REVERSE TONIGHT. Do you know what we learned tonight? Because I’ll tell you what we learned tonight. This Hoosiers team is trending as such: good performances buttressed by bad ones. Really, really bad ...
THE GOOD: RESOLVE. Oh baby, what a win. With Mo Creek out for the season, and Indiana fans a bit down, a bit defeated, IU proved this afternoon inside Assembly Hall that your leading scorer does not an entire team ...
THE GOOD: THE START. If there was anything Indiana needed to key on in this game, anything Tom Crean likely would be pleased to see, it was a good start by the Hoosiers. I know this is Bryant College, a ...
THE GOOD: THE COMEBACK, TOM PRITCHARD. I started this game a bit late, so I had to play catchup on DVR. Because I always need to have my laptop open — always, always — I caught one of Alex’s Twitter ...
THE GOOD: BOUNCING BACK. Tale of two halves this evening in Bloomington. After a lack of defensive presence coupled with some lackadaisical play in the first half, IU came storming out of the gate in the second half, and never ...
THE GOOD: A BIG WIN, SOME CONSISTENT PLAY. First, the big picture: It got a little too close for comfort at the end of the game, and it took longer than some IU fans would have liked, but the Hoosiers ...
THE GOOD: KEEPING IT CLOSE, RESERVE PLAY. Hmmm, where to begin. Let’s take some baby steps here. Save for the last few minutes where it all unraveled, Indiana hung right with Maryland, and during several stretches, outplayed and outworked the ...
This will be a much abbreviated GBU. In fact, it’s just going to be a short list of observations. I only caught the second half, and that was cut short by the Big Ten Network cutting to the Ohio State ...
GOOD: VAST IMPROVEMENT. Yes, Indiana lost, and ended up 0-3 in Puerto Rico. But the Hoosiers looked much better against George Mason this morning than they did against Ole Miss and Boston University. Guys like Bobby Capobianco — seven points, 10 ...
This is going to be more of an open thread due to this game not being televised, and me being in and out on the radio feed. Here are some talking points: + It didn’t seem like Indiana had much ...
THE GOOD: FIRST FIVE MINUTES. This is what this Hoosiers team can be. Running the break efficiently, not letting teams get set up on D, pushing the pace, getting controlled buckets in transition with Jeremiah Rivers and Verdell Jones leading ...
THE GOOD: CHRISTIAN WATFORD AND DEREK ELSTON. Watford continues to impress. He’s been billed as a guy that can do it all, and this game really highlighted that: he got boards, hit shots, created in the lane, got some steals, ...
