5fouls Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Won't be watching tonight. Going to catch a high school game instead. I have concerns. I think there is a level of confidence in the fan base because it's Minnesota at home that should not be there. The Gophers may just be the better team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota is a decent team...They're 1-1 on the road in the Big 10 winning at Michigan (who hasn't?) and losing at Ohio State... I think it'll be a good game...they don't start a true 5, and I think we'll have favorable matchups in the front court on the offensive end...Hopefully we'll shoot better from outside and especially from the line at home... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I expect IU will play well at home. This isn't the Minnesota of the last few years and won't be easy, but I expect more shots to fall at home, turnovers to be limited and we should have a good chance to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Win or lose, this team needs to put together at least 3 games where they can show consistent effort and the ability to remain focused for all 40 minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start that streak tonight….the trouble has been stringing together multiple games. So, let’s kick it off again and hope the good play sticks around.

I have confidence we will win due to being at home and generally playing better at Assembly Hall (8-1) but I don't expect it to be easy. If bad IU shows up, we definitely can lose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, btownqb said: Freaking rebound, limit turnovers. I really don't think rebounding is a point of emphasis for this team. Nobody tries to find a man to box out. I know you're a coach and it's impossible to emphasize every aspect of the game, there's only so much time and mental capacity. Your team will excel at things other teams don't and vice versa. That said, I do think that rebounding is an important enough aspect of the game to spend a considerable amount of time on, especially if your team is not boxing out. We give enough second chances with turnovers. We give up a huge disparity in 3's attempted and made on most nights. We need to take care of at least one of these 3 aspects or else we really don't have a solid formula to win games. By giving opponents so many more possessions we might as well just spot them 10 points at the beginning of the game. You can't spot any B!G team 10 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s happened more than you think. It doesn’t have to be constant wind but if you get a straight line wind catch a bus from the right direction..especially moving or turning already..I wouldn’t be so sure. Might be playing it too safe…but in the age of lawsuits no district is going to put children in harms way for a ball game. I get it…we all grew up in a different time but when it’s your kid…people usually feel differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right... a couple different excerpts I found. In the NBA, most folks will tell you that home court is worth about 2.5 points. Some will even say 3.0 points for a stronger team. For college basketball, the value sits between 3.0 and 3.5 points. Not all advantages are equal – The general home court advantage is thought to be the equivalent of about three points per game on average. It is very important to remember, though, that an average doesn't mean that it will be the same in all buildings. In college basketball, there is no exact number like that, but home court advantage can be worth anywhere between 2.5 and 6 points or more depending on the venue and opponent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say our home court is 5pts+ advantage. Of course, OUR road games the other team undoubtedly has that advantage, as well. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUfaninIllinois Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 1. Apparently X has a nut allergy because he just likes to hit the nuts away when they are near by. 2. I know people have been not liking posting up two big men. I don’t understand why Indiana doesn’t just start 4 out and 1 in and spread offense out. Reneau can cut or dribble his guy down and make some moves around his guy pretty easily so not sure why they don’t do this more. The amount of adjustments or things woody doesn’t try shows how much of an NBA coach he is and how set in his NBA ways he is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
