Indiana is back!

or in those famous words, Notre Dame is who we thought they were.
The IU board is hilarious right now, but IU fan's deserved this one game. I even was cheering for them to win. However, their board is so freaking funny. They are saying they're back, and now they know they have a real coach..lol Perspective: They beat a team who has lost 3 of their last 5 games, including a home loss to Ball State. The two wins are vs the Delaware Blue Hens and SFNY. I'm glad they won, but I felt even better after reading their board. Really sets themselves up for their next big let down. No fans are so delusional as IU fans.
Right, a coach that at sets it up so his team scores the tying basket and gives the opposition 13 seconds to win (even though they managed to miss the winning ft).
LMAO
How can they even really be happy with the way they won? Really ugly win. I mean it went into overtime because ND missed two straight free throws...
Where have they been....in the garbage. I call them Oscar1, Oscar2, Oscar3, Oscar4, Oscar5, & the Grouch.
Let them be fired up. They play a Scott brother tomorrow so their high will become low. I think Bryson and Brenton are 5-0 against the Hoosiers combined.
Maybe they should discard that win, since they didn't want to be there...

They keep saying over there on peegs is this the year the sleeping giant awakes. But every year our big boy just lays there flat on his back....
A head coach that runs the clock down while his team is trailing at the end of the game is on the fast track to a new position. It's called "unemployed". If you're losing in the final seconds, you go for the score, then you worry about stopping the other team. This is seriously Basketball 101.
Interesting in that I was just discussing entitled opinions moments ago. Because people have opinions do not mean they are entitled to hold them...even though they might in spite of opposition...read on because this has nothing to do with your comments....just a clarification that having an opinion is not the same as being entitled to the opinion even though many don't think about the difference.
YOU in this situation are entitled to your opinion, but if your opinion was that all males over 45 should be shot...then no, your opinion is wrong and you are NOT entitled to hold an opinion of destruction for such a broad brush. In this case, an IU win (and yes, ND does not look very good this year so far. They are ND and gets votes just because) in theory could help Purdue. Not to pick on you at all, but only since I was in conversation on this subject a few hours ago...somehow intelligent people need to distinguish between holding an opinion and being entitled to that opinion because I see us using them interchangable and it appears to me to be a slight difference. If your opinion was that all police officers should be shot, then that might be your opinion, but I don't see why you should be entitled to that opinion...and I walk carefully through this fragile area of group speak because it can raise a very ugly side through Cultural Marxism.
Again, this has NOTHING to do with you...I agree with you...it is just that I think there should be a difference between holding opinions and being entitled to them and I think those lines of demarcation I see are many times blurred. Off the soap box...
Bottom line, even if one can say that they are entitled to have an opinion it doesn't mean that it has any legitimacyInteresting in that I was just discussing entitled opinions moments ago.

Delusional iu fans is redundant.
fully understand that and again this has nothing to do with the original poster, but I really believe that many today believe their opinion is as good as another and that because they have an opinion they are entitled to hold it...whatever it may be. I see this playing out everywhere and the reality is all opinions are NOT equal...some much more debatable than others naturally.
How did we get so many "entitled"... was there a desire to blur right and wrong, true and false more than needed?
You OBVIOUSLY went to Purdue.Interesting in that I was just discussing entitled opinions moments ago.

Many reasons to be happy. Was down 14. Under Crean, that leads probably grows to 30. So very happy we showed some grit, battled and got the lead to 6 before half.
Down 8 with 1:49 to play.. Again, under Crean, this one's over. Made some big shots and done something we haven't done in years----Got stops late in the game. Great play design for Morgan to send the game to OT.
In OT, down 5 with 20 seconds left. No panic. Ran our offense,got the ball to Morgan, who scored. Then a terrific play by McRoberts ,which led to the eventual game winning dunk by Morgan.
And not to mention we got noting from Davis.
So that's how we can be happy.
yeah, it saves a lot of time to tell others I'm a Purdue gaduate and just assume I'm right!You OBVIOUSLY went to Purdue.
Actually, that subject is or was difficult because I hate the thought of thought police and the PC that is going on, but by the same token we have a huge problem brewing if we assume a legitimacy (as mentioned by 70boiler) and that people are entitled to whatever their opinion just because. I have some Libertarian leans and so I type very carefully on this subject. I'm not looking for conformance to group thought at all...I would hate that, but having an opinion gathered through Osmosis by many and assuming all are entitled to so many false thoughts leads to some huge problems
100% agree. I appreciate your rational and logic-based approach to these topics. Two of my children attended other universities, the third attended Purdue. The horror stories I have heard about the emotional approach to shutting down discussion at other schools makes me appreciate Purdue so much more. I know some of the militant PC crap crept in under Cordova's watch, but the foundation still seems to be strong.yeah, it saves a lot of time to tell others I'm a Purdue gaduate and just assume I'm right!

Help me remember because I'm getting old. Wasn't IU down 3 when Morgan dribbled and shot? If no foul and his misses...who knows? if no foul and he hits...ND still in the lead. How is having a set play (I think that is what you said) in having a four dribble the ball down three with seconds a great play design to send the game to OT? Would you be happy had ND not fouled or was called for a foul? Now, if I'm wrong and IU was only up 2...then okay...OR if the desire was to get a quick bucket and play from there ...okay, but that doesn't send it to OT. I thought it was the bucket AND the foul that allowed the game to be tied, but without ND's help..that game might not go to OT..like Coleson not blocking out on FT's when McRoberts got the board and hit Morgan under the bucket which really was a horrible play by Coleson rather than a great play by McRoberts...course I expect players to actually block out ...especially on FTs. Now McRoberts did what was allowed and that was good and Morgan played very well, but I think ND went brain dead on some really fundamental things. Still, a win is a win and I can understand being happy..just not for all the reasons you listed although I agree with the grit part...
If I'm wrong and IU was only down two...then I understand...
Unless you haven't noticed, we are a terrible shooting team. Yes we were down three, and with a team like Purdue, you probably look for the three, IF you don't get a quick hitter. But we don't have the shooters you guys have. So the play we ran; an isolation for Morgan to me was the best option. Notre Dame couldn't guard him. So you run an iso there, with your best player. If he misses, you give your self an opportunity for an offensive rebound, and then yeah, look for the three. But with how we have shot, I thought it was the absolute right call to go to Morgan. ANd thought it was the right call to go early. By doing so, you give yourself the opportunity of more than one shot. The odds of us hitting a game tying three wasn't that good. The odds of Morgan scoring, and possibly being fouled, were much better. IMO, a very good play call at that juncture of the game.
Notre Dame didn't do themselves any favors. They had some break downs. But I'd be willing to bet Purdue has won a few games due to teams having mental lapses at the end. It's part of the game.
McRoberts rebound was a tough rebound. He went up in traffic , and just took it. Colson didn't do that bad of a job. I mean after the rebound, McRoberts was surrounded by two Notre Dame defenders, but made a heck of a pass. It was just a play where McRoberts simply wanted the ball more.
It was a very good win. Indiana got stops they have never gotten under Crean. They took good shots. Hit some big shots. But more importantly, they didn't panic. Like I said, to be down 8 with 1:49, yet finding a way to win, feels really good. Especially with what we have endured.
Something tells me if this were Purdue who had just battled back from 8 down with 1:47 to go, you wouldn't care how they did so. And I doubt you seriously be nit picking as much as you are. For as much as ND did wrong, I did just as much right. Very good win.
Likely Bagley from Duke, Bridges from MSU, or Trae (frogs) from Oklahoma. If OK ends up knocking Kansas’ off the Big 12 pedestal, that kid is likely handed the award.
Indiana was down two; 65-63. Even if down three, I would still like that play. We cannot shoot. So look for a quick hitter. Plus, ND hadn't shown the ability to guard Morgan; 34 points. And as a four, Morgan handles the ball pretty decent. Very good play call.
Meh, Bonzi's pretty darn good. He had 29 and 11. Thought IU did a nice job of forcing him off the blocks. He's a monster in the lane. Still, he hit some good,tough shots.
Yeah, two point game at the time. In OT, IU was down three, 77-74 when Miller ran the exact same play.
I think we could be competitive at Mackey. Especially if we continue to improve, and can start to hit some damn shots. But even though we have some seniors, and a junior, we still have some young guys playing significant minutes. Not to mention Mackey is a tough ass place to play. I could see a game there getting out of hand.I can certainly see why you might post that.
We just play extremely well at home. Especially in marquee games such as these. Still not sure if it will be enough. You guys are really a good team. Should be a fun game. Best of luck.
