For you IU and Purdue football fans...hopefully today is a great game and IU sends Brohm to Louisville with his head down
True, unlike Sparty who has played one good team (Kansas) and was down 8-17 points for three quarters of the game.
Lol. Those are some tough standards for a good team.
Can’t wait to see UM go up against UNC.
What bench? What part of IU having 4 guys out is so hard for you to understand? Green is out...McRoberts is out...Hunter out...Thompson is out. And Davis has been limited. Even if IU were up 60, starters are still gonna have to play more than usual. There's no one to put in.
Every team will have struggles like this. Green and McRoberts are bigger pieces to this team than you think. McRoberts is one of the better defenders in the conference. He just does so many little things for IU. His shot has improved. But make no mistake, its not his scoring...or his rebounding...or his defense. Its well, ALL of that. He doesn't do any of that great---just really good. Except maybe his defense. He's a very good defender. Green, who can be erratic, is valuable. Plays 26 mpg. Was averaging around 10ppg. He can create for others. Very good defender. Those are two very important parts. W/O those, Miller is forced to play a guy like Anderson, a ton of minutes that he shouldn't be playing.
Hunter would play a huge role. Top 50 kid who can score, shoot, and really defend. Anderson gives us pratically nothing at that spot. As where Hunter would. That's a big loss, really. Race is a push, really. Having Davis limited stinks.
Can't wait for this team to get healthy.
Yeah, this. IU ended the game on like a 30-5 run. Last year, we might have lost this game. Folks can get their "ummmm's, and uh-oh's" in. I'm fine with that. Because when this team gets healthy, they're going to be a headache.

Gotta be honest...Not sure what this means? Bottom line---IU played like shit, yet stil won by double-digits. It was ugly. But I'll take it. This team beat a decent Marquette, w/o the services of Green, McBob and Hunter. Crushed them. But difference is, those injuries are becoming prolonged, forcing guys to play more minutes. That starts to take its toll.
Not at all.
Who has played a tougher schedule thus far than MSU? MSU is 5-1? Pretty damn good.
That is great. Langford is as grounded as a kid, that I've ever met.
Hail getting is war paint on, getting ready for "The Game":
I’ve started drinking, just want to watch the football game now so I’ll continue my trolling of IU basketball at a later time.
Such a great moment. I get it---Purdue/Indiana. But man, this young man situation really puts sports in its place. I want to win. Make no mistake. But this shows there are much more important things in life.
Ya might wanna get it in, now. Hoosiers not only gonna beat that ass---But they're gonna run your coach of as well.
This. It was clear to me this team was just flat. Seemed gassed a bit. Then they got behind and realized they had to play through it if they wanted to win. It happens, but the injuries are definitely taking it’s toll on the team.
I just don't think some realize that the longer these guys are out, the more lingering effect it starts to have. Versus Marquette, not really a huge deal...But now we are 4 games later. Kids having to play more and more minutes; starters to be exact. That startst to take its toll.
You think its taking a toll now, wait until February and Romeo has been averaging 38 mpg.
If Romeo is still playing 38 mpg in Feb, something has went terribly, terribly wrong.
Wow. I never thought I’d see the day
Basketball state. Two meh football teams. Its raining--and cool. About what I expect, TBH. Also, to be fair, what the other side look like?
Easily the best game he’s played as a spartan. His shot selection has been better this year, albeit still not great.
Michigan played a lineup yesterday of 3 PGs and two forwards.

Yes, I am.
Msu has played one good team based on your definition of Michigan not having played any good teams.
This is how it starts. Nagging injuries throughout the year. A game or two that are really close that you were hoping to rest starters.
Is this a joke? MSU has played Kansas, UCLA, and Texas all neutral sight. UM played at Nova, who’s not looked very good this year.
Although to be fair I would put Nova at UCLA's level, with a chance to move-up depending how they looks vs FSU tomorrow.
I agree. I’d say UCLA and Nova are near the same level. UM and MSU could have beaten both teams by 40 but they both slowed down after they got big leads.
