There's about an "inch" between winning or losing
--- that's what's so scary

The key is to not start the game in a 10-2 hole with 4 fouls in 2 minutes including one in the first 15 seconds

Not starting disastrously is obviously helpful in any game

We did start terrible and beat them last year though so don't give up if we do

That was at home..the road win we came out on fire. This is a team mentally fragile. We need to jump them early. They can get very hot offensively at home

We know the first offensive play is a lob pass to Cliff.I think Indiana will be ready.

 

[DirtyRU]

Outscore them by 1 point. That's the most important key.

Especially Mulcahy

 

[bac2therac]

Pikiell should be able to outcoach the other guy but they still have the best player on the court

Run it the second play

 

[fatsam98]

They were mentally weak the last couple years we played them in terms of fading away as the game went on.

Seems like that's still true to some extent given the graph posted yesterday.

Just don't get behind by too many first half

 

[Randal7]

I have a very sinking feeling goin into this. Good thing I'm not the one playin.

 

[bac2therac]

I mean they had a 27 point lead that got cut to 3 against a bottomfeeder. Remember how they melted down during the game at the RAC last year..were they up 14? And then we scored them by like 30

Win and we are on solid tournament footing

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Refs. Here we go again with a B1G Hoops blue blood at home trying to stay alive for an NCAA Tourney bid. I've seen this movie before.

If Paul has a good night we win going away

 

[Scangg]

Some Indiana board chatter about their concern that we are too tough for them and that a lot of their players cave mentally except Race and XJ

It’s one of my concerns, You guys got some hard nosed dudes on that squad, especially O’Connell

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

We will know what we’re in for in the first 5 minutes.

Told you bac but you still insta quit on the team

Show some heart next time we start slow

who instaquit, I was there the entire time in the 2nd half praising the team, im allowed to post my frustrations, that was bad hoops in the first half, This team does things to make it harder, even at the end, the game was won and then it took a RON 3 to salvage the win.

Basketball is a frustrating sport. As veteran fans we need to control our emotions.
