Hadn't even seen your post yet and was coming here to mention it. Wow, that was fast. I missed it. Will watch the second game now to see if I can catch it. They’re smart to include IU-our basketball history and its importance in Hoosier culture are legendary. Tempted to watch the movie Hoosiers now. ⛹🏽♂️⛹️⛹🏿♂️⛹🏿♂️⛹️⛹ Edited March 15, 2023 by HoosierGirlinTucson 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beamerball Posted March 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Haven't been on this site for a while but posted this on a couple of others. All I have read and heard is how "elite" Kent State's defense is, yet no one has been talking about how is Kent State going to score against us? Or better yet, how will Kent State stop/slow us down? IU Bart Torvik: Overall 33 (O: 34/D: 46) Kent State Bart Torvik: Overall 79 (O: 117/D: 45) In their 3 most recent losses: Gave up 82 points to Ball State (170 overall/121 O/243 D) (Lost 82-70) Gave up 67 points to Akron (108 overall/96 O/144 D) (Lost 67-55) Gave up 86 points to Northern Illinois (241 overall/257 O/210 D) (Lost 86-76) They gave up an average of 78 points to teams rated an average 157 on O, IU is 123 spots higher on O than that. Ball State beat them by 12 by only hitting 7 3's, but they shot 34 free throws. Lastly, in the only common opponent the two teams have played, Miami (OH) (BT: 267 overall/O: 217/D: 312): IU won 86-56 Kent State won 69-66, they scored 69 points against the 312th worst defense in the country (according to Torvik) and only had two players score in double figures. I understand not taking a team lightly but comparing them to Rutgers (36 overall/O: 161/D: 36) might be a stretch. No chance their center is as active and athletic as Cliff Omoruyi (6'11" 240), or their two lead defensive guards are as good on the ball as 6'7" 213 Mulcahy or 6'7" 200 McConnell (they aren't, their guards are 6'1" 185 and 6'3" 194). Trey (6'4" 203) and JHS (6'6" 215) will have their problems from time to time but over the course of a game, no way those smaller guards hold up against our bigger guards who have played against Big Ten/Power 5 caliber guards and ball pressure all season long. I'm sure they are a solid team, to win the MAC tournament you have to be. But I am not here to contribute to the overall hype train that is rolling for Kent State. I do appreciate it though hoping that this motivates IU and makes it less likely they overlook Kent State with the media all jumping on that bandwagon. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beamerball Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Also, we have played 10 teams (16 games) that are higher rated defensively than Kent State. Here is that list and their rank. Rutgers (7) IU went 1-1 Kansas (11) 0-1 NW (14) 0-2 Purdue (21) 2-0 Wisconsin (30) 1-0 Illinois (36) 2-0 MSU (38) 1-1 Maryland (39) 1-1 Arizona (40) 0-1 UNC (41) 1-0 IU went a combined 9-7 against teams with a higher rated defense (according to BT) and scored on average 70 ppg. If IU scores 70 Friday night, they will win no question. To add, Kent State has played only 1 team with a higher rated defense than ours all season (Houston). They scored 44 points. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier4Life53 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 A little history - we last played Kent St. in the the Elite 8 in 2002 and won 81-69. They were led by an all-conference power forward named Antonio Gates, who went on to be an all-pro tight end in the NFL for the Chargers. We hit 15 3s in that game with Coverdale, Hornsby and company leading the way that propelled us into the Final Four, and eventual National Title game against Maryland. Not suggesting we hit 15 3s, but perhaps that’s where we’re headed again this year, and it starts with the Golden Flashes on Friday night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the stats. interesting comparison. some more stats: They are very similar in height and weight. Both averaged 21 pts this season. Trayce has a clear advantage on RBs with 11 vs 7. Timmons overall shooting % is better at 62% vs 58%. Assists Trayce advantage by 1 per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
