Game thread for IU vs. NU

[DaCat]

We're tied even though our 3 pt shooting is awful so far

 

[wildcatpn]

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

He had 21 against Illinois a little over a week ago.

 

[freewillie07]

“Miller Kopp was caught naked… metaphorically speaking.” Lol

 

[FeralFelidae]

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

He's great but he's often playing out of position.

 

[DaCat]

We are 1-12 from 3pt range and yet are still tied. Gotta hit some.

 

[JournCat]

It’s the disappointment in Revsine’s voice. You know he’s suffering as we are …

 

[PURPLECAT88]

Bad defense since Audige’s second foul.

 

[GatoLouco]

Talk all you want about poor shooting. We have taken 10+ I’ll advised shots. Painful to watch

 

[freewillie07]

Wtf is Berry doing. Wtf is this lineup.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

We play better on the road then we do at home.Rushed forcing shots.Lets get it together

 

[TheC]

He had 21 against Illinois a little over a week ago.

He looks clueless tonight.

 

[CatManTrue]

Cats are playing SLOPPY basketball. Indiana will be gassed, but if we playing like this we will lose.

 

[TheC]

Wtf is Berry doing. Wtf is this lineup.

Berry has been so disappointing this year. I don’t know what it is about CCC but I feel like guys have worse second years here.

 

[EagerFan]

Wow, lots contact in the game, but they could call a few elbows on their big guy. I wouldn’t mind.

 

[DaCat]

Refs are letting TJD get away with a lot of fouls but calling everything on us from the beginning.

 

[bjm989]

Wow, lots contact in the game, but they could call a few elbows on their big guy. I wouldn’t mind.

No doubt. Indy getting all the calls down low.

 

[freewillie07]

So brutally sloppy. I wonder how much of it is psychological, knowing we’re not going at all the guys we were expecting.

Need to snap out of it at halftime and throw down the hammer on Kopp and Co.

 

[Arlcatsfan]

The way we are playing I will be relieved if we only trail by a few points at halftime.Just not in sync tonight so far.Put Young down low and run the offense with movement.

 

[freewillie07]

Refs are letting TJD get away with a lot of fouls but calling everything on us from the beginning.

There’s no way that IU being undermanned doesn’t lead to some bias.

 

[Titanium999]

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

Pound the ball inside

 

[HawkCat]

Woof. We are trying our best to blow an obvious advantage.

 

[FeralFelidae]

At least that shot at the buzzer missed.

 

[freewillie07]

Extremely disappointing effort overall.

Collins had better get through to these guys: These next 20 minutes will define our season.

Need this win. Period. Play hard, play smart and wear IU down.

 

[DaCat]

We are not playing well but "only" trailing by 4 at the half. If we can get some 3pt shots to fall in the second half, we have a good chance of winning.

 

[wildcatpn]

Couldn’t miss on Saturday. Can’t make a shot tonight, so far.

 

[phatcat]

WTF is wrong with this team?
(It's a rhetorical question)

 

[AcademicsMatter]

What a ridiculous half. Collins either cannot coach, has no control of this team, or both.

 

[GatoLouco]

I’ve seen shirts vs skins offenses that were less sloppy than this.

Reset, calm the fu** down.

 

[nickcat4]

Terrible first half, can anyone make a shot

 

[catfans5]

Lucky to be only down by 4. Awful shooting. Indy fans not as bad as Illannoy or Iowa fans so far. Good game atmosphere. Too bad that tons of red are here.

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

You guys should pull out in the 2H, since we stared to look gassed

 

[PurpleWhiteBoy]

Titanium999 you had two good ideas.

PRESS THEM. Put Audige on the ball.

OR

GO BIG and make them foul.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Nance continues to get worse

 

[FeralFelidae]

Nance continues to get worse

Well, he had a nice little hook that time.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Nice little run to tie it up.

 

[EagerFan]

Any word on the T? I saw the ref call it, but didn’t see the event.

 

[freewillie07]

Titanium999 you had two good ideas.

PRESS THEM. Put Audige on the ball.

OR

GO BIG and make them foul.

He’s ignored for me. But yeah, I don’t see why we shouldn’t try even a modest press. Just sub in Greer for 2-3 minutes at a time and do a one-man press on their PG. Or even Simmons, honestly. Wear them down.

 

[GatoLouco]

Anthony Leal os the nephew of one of my kid’s teachers. And his name is not even remotely pronounced as they are saying it

 

[DaCat]

We are showing some grit. I thought the game might get away from us when we went down 7. Now we clawed back to tie at the timeout.

 

[The Purple Knight]

Well, he had a nice little hook that time.

100% Young should be playing ahead of nance. We have plenty of outside shooters and don’t need a 6’10” outside shooter. We need him playing inside and on the boards playing tough!
