Game thread for IU vs. NU

[lou v]

I watched Miller Kopp warm up. I didn't see any interaction between him and the Cats players, even when he ran off the court, through the half-court where NU was shooting. What does that mean? Probably nothing.

For the fifth time this year, I'm going to call this a must-win. The Cats are 2-2 in my must-wins so far, beating Rutgers and Nebraska, and losing to Maryland and Penn State.

The student sections have white pom poms on all the seats. Hopefully, they'll all be waving by tipoff.

IU fan here, just want to give an heads up that there is a rumor going that will be missing some players tonight (All though most were warming up). Interesting stuff going on here on our front. Anyways, best of luck!

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

We are down 5 scholarship players, and this game is officially in your favor

Bates, Durr, X Johnson, Lander and Stewart all out.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

15 minutes until game time, and there’s already more people here than showed up for the Rutgers game. Lots of red.

I’ve been trying to confirm this, but here it is: FIVE IU players are out.

It will be in our favor until the 4 minute mark.

Word has it that Miller Kopp was the narc who ratted out his teammates. NU sleeper agent.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

I honestly wish those guys were playing. I think we’re better even when they’re at full strength.

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Really wanted to see both teams at full capacity, so we shall see how this one goes

A lot more red than purple. Hope we have a late arriving crowd for the purple.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

I didn’t see Williams during the warmups. Anything going on with him?

 

[Hungry Jack]

I saw the ghost of Walker Lambiotte walking through the east lot tonight. Gotta be a good sign.

He’s here. Looks fine.

I saw Elyjah out there.

 

[PURPLECAT88]

No worries. Williams is back out there.

 

[GatoLouco]

😱 Kopp might actually be on the floor for the last five minutes of the game 😱

 

[Hungry Jack]

Lots of guys dressed for IU. Must have some callups from Indiana State

It’s actually IUPUI

 

[GatoLouco]

It’s actually IUPUI

Ball State has joined the chat

 

[GatoLouco]

One possession in and I’m already cringing seeing Nance on TJD.

IU is Thompson and Davis tonight. Double.

 

[GatoLouco]

Come on Chase, you are a better defender than that

 

[DaCat]

Galloway doing his best Mulcahy impression against us.

 

[EagerFan]

Sold Out crowd, mostly IU. The his is the first time in a long while I can remember struggling to get parked.

 

[Vassar69]

It’s actually IUPUI

This may actually carry water. IUPUI just put out an open tryout for any student to join the team. Apparently they’re down to 6 active players and need bodies for practice etc. Maybe IU had to pull some of them onto their roster

Press em!

 

[GatoLouco]

The nonchalant defense on Galloway is asking for another “career night against NU”

 

[Dugan15]

I would be just fine if we never had a 4 on 1 break ever again.

 

[lunker35]

Refs blow again. Chase gets jacked in the face and there’s a no call.

Press em! Wear em out! Blow em out!

 

[DaCat]

Refs not calling the fouls against Indy. Audige was fouled on that breakaway.

 

[FeralFelidae]

I honestly wish those guys were playing. I think we’re better even when they’re at full strength.

Well, not so far.

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Surprised we are not down by 15 yet, let’s see that by halftime. Cause Boo Buie is a hell of a player for the Cats.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Press em!

‘Sup Wrassler!

 

[freewillie07]

Yep, arms definitely came down. Should have been a foul. But sloppy play from both teams.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Press em! Wear em out! Blow em out!

Not a terrible idea, actually, but I don't know if that's in NU's arsenal.

 

[GatoLouco]

Some seriously questionable shot selection so far

 

[TheC]

My god do we look awful. Nance just doesn’t have an offensive game against real competition.

 

[DaCat]

My god do we look awful. Nance just doesn’t have an offensive game against real competition.

Right on cue he scores

 

[freewillie07]

Already feels like a game of attrition. We can’t hit a jump shot to save our life, but IU has “six normal rotation players” available.

Needless to say, we need to win this.
