*Official* B1G In-Season Thread

Lunardi and Palm are terrible? Ok.

Anyways....Never said I felt comfortable. BUT.....IF IU wins Saturday, then wins opener of BTT, I would feel really comfortable. Its been a weak bubble all year.

BTW, out of curiosity....Who would you lean toward for guidance if not Lunardi? Just curious. Maybe I am missing something, but always felt Lunardi was pretty spot on.

Here is a good source for bracketologist evaluation. Lunardi usually does ok getting the participants the day of the reveal, but he and Palm are both very poor at seeding.

They are playing much much better. Still waiting for a collapse but maybe this team turned a corner
They have. it is called:

'The healthy corner".Winking

Phinisee back to who he was pre-concussion...Davis is able to give IU good minutes. Those two, healthy, really, really help this team.

“Indiana freshman point guard Rob Phinisee’s past nine games:

263 minutes, five turnovers.

No more than one turnover in any of those nine games, four games with zero turnovers”

it feels good to have a legit point guard for the next 3 years. Phinisee was the first PG to commit to IU since Yogi.

Who said that? Jesus dude....You sound like some 6 year old...."But, but mom.....she did it first". Man I try so hard to like you. I mean I feel like you are a good dude. But god damn.....You nit pick the shit out of everything. So what IU sucks. So what that a IU fan made fun of Iowa's once again late season spiral. I mean would it have anymore validity had it been a "Duke fan"? Why not just join in on the fun, instead of playing hall monitor?

You are the one nitpicking about me making fun of the Indiana fan. Stop being so dramatic.

You do this every time and honestly....its funny as hell.

1st. You get your feelings hurt when you, or Michigan isn't the center of attention.

2nd. Then you start throwing random shots at people just hoping that someone will bite.

3rd. Then when people call you out for this you throw your hands up while asking why everyone is picking on poor you.

You do this every time and I'm truly fascinated by how fragile your ego is on a message board.

What did I say that wasn't true? (It's not that it wasn't true. It's just that you're trying to make what happened fit your own narrative. My narrative is that you lost two f***ing games to Iowa and you can't f***ing deal with it......ref.) culdn't give two fchs (LaughingRollLaughLaughing) what others are saying, blaming, etc, etc...Truth is, you guys, especially Gil (The amount of birds' lives lost from the feathers this man has ruffled is no doubt an unfathomable number.............jesus f***ing christ, you people.), blame the officials everytime Iowa loses (Where did I blame the officials for our loss, ref? My guess is you see what you want to see.) . Hell you blame them when you win. (All I ask for is consistent f***ing enforcement of the rules......and Big Ten officials are not doing it.) Fvcking insane. (Yes, it is f***ing insane, that something so simple can't be done, and we have to make excuses for why it's not.)

Fact: A banked in three from the corner, and an off balance, fade away three,is the only thing keeping Iowa from losing 6 straight. (FACT: Iowa 77, Indiana 72 / Iowa 76, Indiana 70.........I look forward to those facts greeting you whenever you wake up from your alcohol-induced slumber. SmokinSmile)

Btw, just out of curiosity, ref.....why do you think you can hang those shots over our heads...but I can't do the same with a bad call, or any shots that your team made....or Maryland, for example. Maybe since Iowa would be losers of 6 straight if they didn't hit all those shots, maybe I could take that late shot by Maryland away so that we would have 22 wins instead of 21. Of course I'm also certain this would be followed by "whatever helps you sleep at night", to which I could say that these facts you present us must do the same for you.......................

Just sayin.

20 conference games with zero bad losses and a lot of good wins will do that
Zero bad losses? But u have 15 good losses then? Boy, for a blue blood program IU has fallen so far. Participation trophies are right around the corner I'm assuming.

If Bob Knight were already dead, he would be rolling in his grave at "no bad losses." IU should be pissed at this season. Squeaking in cuz the bubble is the worst in hoops history is nothing to be happy about. The team underachieved tremendously and will be losing the two best players off it. Archie still has a lot to prove IMO.

He’s talking in terms of quad3/4 games.

Phinisee getting back to his old self. Purdue would have been a scary team had they gotten the hometown kid.
I think this team probably needed Eastern's defensive presence more than Phinisee's PG skills. But I would have loved to have him on our roster.

Could have seen a lineup of Phinisee, Edwards, Cline, Eastern, Haarms. Eastern i still think would be fantastic in a Justin Smith type roll, running the baseline, taking other 4's off the dribble. Edwards playing off the ball. If anything he would have been another excellent guard option.

No doubt. Happy to see RP doing well. From what I remember, I don't think he wanted to stay home for school so if it wasn't IU, it was still going to someone besides Purdue. It sucks but some kids want to get away for college. Nothing wrong with that.

Purdue’s offense works a lot better when it’s 4 can stretch the floor though. But yeah I like Phinissee. I think IT coming in next season is a lot like him.

He's gonna be a good one. Love him even more that he came from West Laffy.
 
Hell of a coaching job, IMO, to get a team with two preseason all-B1G players to the cusp of the bubble.
Yeah, don't worry about context. It's not like we had any injuries. None. Nobody being out made a difference. But I get it. Purdue fans gonna Purdue fan.

Remind me did he play the PG role in AAU? I know IT gets a lot of shots for Zionsville, but I couldn’t remember if he has those skills. Phinisee had a different role in the summer than when the high school season started.
