Game Day Open Thread - Indiana Hoosiers

Lioneye_edited_tiny by BSD on in Open Threads

Go State!
Penn State 14-15 (6-11) Indiana Hoosiers 25-5 (14-3)

I'm sure this game has implications on the seeding for the Big Ten Tournament, but I'll be damned if I can figure out the tie breaking procedure. I think it's pretty clear that we'll get the #7 seed if we win and we'll probably play Illinois. I think if we lose we'll be the #8 seed and play Michigan due to the fact that Iowa beat Ohio State, a higher seeded team.

Regardless of the implications on seeding, this would be a great win. It would be our seventh conference win, a number we haven't seen in years. It would be our fifth straight home win. It would give us fantastic momentum going into the Big Ten Tournament. It would get us back to 0.500 and give us in a pretty good case to slip into the NIT with a win or two in the BTT. So get out to the Jordan Center and cheer your asses off!

Go State! Beat the Hoosiers!

Cornley
I'm surprised he made it this far.

Not bad
Up 31-30 at the half. Couldn't ask for more than that considering we're without Cornley. Ok, maybe we could ask for a 20 point lead, but I'll take this.

1st Media Timeout
Up by six points now. Shut them out over that four minute stretch. Like our energy. Officials are really helping us out.

Oh man
We've had three bad possessions in a row, and Indiana is coming to life. Someone needs to make a shot.

Ugh
Three from Gordon. IU on a 9-0 run. Ed calls timeout to stop the bleeding.

uh oh :(
I don't like our chances much with our offense being very stagnant lately. Talor's having a rough game

by runngunn29 on Mar 9, 2008 3:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Nice
Jeff Brooks has shown a lot of improvement recently. He's being more aggressive and gaining confidence. That's a good sign for next year.

four rookies
Starting four rookies and without our top two leading scorers...we're doing pretty good I think.  Brooks has heated up.

is showing the potential we've heard about

mike you still have at least one person
watching the game and on here.  

nice steal and dunk we just pulled off. hopefully we can pull it out.

by rmcmillen50 on Mar 9, 2008 3:42 PM EDT   0 recs

Watching
I think we've got 3 or 4 people on here now.

what's he doing there?  for eric gordon or white i guess?

by rmcmillen50 on Mar 9, 2008 3:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Riley
Think he's scouting D.J. White. Gordon is just a freshman.

Turning Up The D
That's three steals in the past few minutes. If this team can figure out how to play defense we'll be ok next year.

He might be having a bad game, but he still steps up in the crunch. Nice steal + dunk and now getting to the line

Recruiting
We have a very important basketball recruit at the game today. Some kid named Babbs. 6'5" shooting guard. Good performance today from the team. Hopefully he's impressed.

woohoo
great win. Unfortunately, I missed rushing the court twice this year.

Ok, who though we'd win without Cornley? Raise your hands

by runngunn29 on Mar 9, 2008 4:20 PM EDT   0 recs

nice win
5 consecutive home wins, pretty impressive. hopefully we can take this momentum into the big ten tourny

question though...... was it appropriate to storm the court?

by rmcmillen50 on Mar 9, 2008 4:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Questionable
It was a ranked opponent, but they are only 17. Give the fact we didn't have Cornley and nobody gave us a chance I'll allow it.

huge win
Hopefully this turns into some MO in the Big Ten Tourney and some more post season games for these young guys.

Storming the court....
I saw Clemson storm the court against Virginia Tech during that live look-in so in that sense I guess it was appropriate for us to do it to Indiana.

by runngunn29 on Mar 9, 2008 4:32 PM EDT   0 recs

My Take
If you're a self respecting basketball program who considers themselves among the elite, then its lame to storm the court.  However, when you go through the season we've had, and still managed to pull off two huge wins, its something to celebrate.

by runngunn29 on Mar 9, 2008 4:32 PM EDT   0 recs

looking ahead
This really does give me some hope for the future, how can it not.  4 freshman starting, I think Ed must know what he is doing with his recruiting.
