Inside the Hall: Game Thread: Indiana @ Michigan State

  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    I feel it today...Hoosiers by four in a tough environment...I know it's not "likely" but I'm feeling positive today!

    Indiana 68
    Michigan State 64
  • jaime gongora · 1 year ago
    oh yeah dick enberg is going to banish us to hell, but we will win this game to tick him off. Go Hoosiers.
  • JamesHardy · 1 year ago
    76-75 hoosiers...Bassett scores 22...DJ goes for 18 and 12 boards...EJ scores 19 with triples...and Stemler bricks 12 more from downtown before hitting the game-winner at the buzzer. no no...before BANKING the game-winner at the buzzer.
  • JamesHardy · 1 year ago
    oops...left out 5 for the number of treys that EJ will drain to go with his 24 turnovers
  • peaychris · 1 year ago
    i think you left out the stat line. 0-9 but 19-20 from the free throw line! i hope he can start hitting the jumpers.
  • JamesHardy · 1 year ago
    didn't leave it out...i just don't think he'll go to the rack much today. but it will be more like 5-20 from downtown and 4-5 from the line
  • Mark · 1 year ago
    63-60 IU over MSU
  • MikeyD · 1 year ago
    Michigan State can't "win" this game. Only way they get the W is if IU "loses". We are a way better team than they are. If we can have about an 85%-90% effort towards our best...we win. If we have one of our 3-4 best games of the year...we kill 'em. I feel like EJ is going to get off. When is the last time he has done so? If we stumble badly out of the gate...we could be in trouble. But, I think we will start well and build a lead the entire game to win by at least 8. Go Hoosiers!
  • MikeyD · 1 year ago
    BTW, I think we match our average B10 points. What is it...like 73 pts.?
  • MikeyD · 1 year ago
    Yikes...76.4...just checked. Man it's so good to see us so high and leading in B10 stats. Last time I remember was Covey and the boys.
  • Tom Coverdale IU Hero · 1 year ago
    If Armon and Jamarcus can play defense on Neitzel and Morgan we will win this game but if not it'll be a long afternoon.....we will need Jordan too come off bench and score about 15 points, EJ needs to play under control if and if he starts getting eratic DD needs to pull him out but if Armon does what he does and DJ controls the paint the game shouldnt even be a scare

    IU 69 MSU 57

    Basset-13
    DJ-26
    EJ-17
  • IndianaLee · 1 year ago
    MSU is favored by 5? I am a bit surprised by this. I understand that winning on the road is a tough task. But IU won soundly in the first meeting and is playing decent away from Assembly Hall.

    With that being said, I could see the Hoosiers stumbling. Especially with the Spartans wanting revenge and trying desperately to make the NCAA tourney. The struggles against Northwestern and Ohio State leave me thinking we are due for a loss.

    I definitely hope I'm wrong. A Big Ten championship is still within reach.
  • JamesHardy · 1 year ago
    There's a reason that MSU is still ranked...all the writers and pollsters think more highly of them than any other team this side of Duke. They're in the tournament, but mark my word...they are ONE AND DONE!

    This Kalin Lucas is a star in the making at PG for MSU...he worries me a bit today
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Yeah I don't see how but the pollsters love them. How could Duke be in top 25 after losing to Wake and MIami in one week? Pollsters and writers need to come off their teets once in awhile.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Minnesota yesterday beat OSU by fourteen at home. IU beat both Northwestern and OSU by only three. We need to step it up today if we are going to beat MSU. The Spartans have lost to Iowa and Penn State with this game so important to them. Stemler, Thomas, Crawford, Gordan and Ellis needs to pick it up big time. DJ and Bassett will be fine. Does not surprise me that MSU is favored by 5. You would have to say they are the biggest disappointment of the Big Ten this year.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Ok guy I got the bets of the day. 1. Over/Under when Stemler gets his first foul and we get the" look" i'll say 3:30 minutes. 2. Will Thomas get his 2 pts before or after he gets his first foul.
  • JamesHardy · 1 year ago
    i've got 0:02 into the game on Stemler...i got a feeling about the tip-off today! Your Thomas bet is easy money...you need to make it something like this...what does he finish with more of....PFs, TOs, or Points???
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    If he would step up. Could you imagine how much tougher we would be. It would be unreal.
  • tberry · 1 year ago
    This year's team has a lot of true athletes but is undisciplined and erratic. Given more maturity and experience they will be good but right now MSU may be too good at MSU. We have been squeaking out wins over poor teams but MSU is a good team.
  • dizzydee · 1 year ago
    MSU is overrated this year, but our recent history in the Breslin Center is a cause for concern.

Here is a list of top young candidates to take over at IU these sites give the respective coaches profile and list of accomplishments. The list is Brad Brownell/Sean Miller/Tony Bennett and Scott Drew....................
  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    Figures we'll miss the start on TV. I hate CBS. Schedule some time between games for crying out loud!
  • TXHoosier · 1 year ago
    Breslin Arena? Really?
  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    When I'm down 16-7, I turn to Jamarcus Ellis to shoot a 3....right, nice decision.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    No movement on offense. Not getting back on defense. Awful start. I had a feeling we might get blown out. I hope I am wrong.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Nice transition defense. Could we please start setting picks for Gordon?
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    Team LOOKS TERRIBLE
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    They look like they could care less.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Mike White is the answer.
  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    DeAndre and Mike White are worthless....Where is Taber?
  • Ryan_Btown · 1 year ago
    Good thing we're so fast in transition..........
  • Mac · 1 year ago
    The hoosier defense appears to be god awful this afternoon.
  • mini · 1 year ago
    if we can force them to shoot from outside of 3 feet i think we can pull this one out...
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    Lance Stemler SHOULD NEVER GET OFF THE BENCH
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Why does Thomas take a tribble?
  • drode · 1 year ago
    Deandre needs to put the weight back on and try out for the football team because thats the only way he is going to have a positive impact on IU sports.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    You see Bassett look at Students after he made that 3
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    We will never go far in the tournament because we CAN'T play defense!!!! I would bench everyone but Basset
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    The problem is we are scoring how much your supposed to to in a half and they're trying to show off by scoring more than your supposed to.
  • Ryan_Btown · 1 year ago
    wow...what do you say to taht...missed layup, bad transition D, they hit a three and get an oop...couple good possessions for us over all...what the hell is goin on!
  • dabig · 1 year ago
    This is disgusting. Bench the starters for the rest of the half.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Until they learn how to play D.
  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    Nice sequence Crawford...let Neitzel get wide open, then go shoot an airball, then brick a dunk, then loaf back on defense...nice work...the old Crawford has returned...
  • Shoney · 1 year ago
    is anyone contemplating turning the game off? I have never seen the Hoosiers look this terrible..
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Terrible, terrible defense. Same thing all year long. Damn shame Nascar race on not on.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    I am.
  • dabig · 1 year ago
    Nobody is moving without the ball. Suppose that Dakich drew it up like this? Did he run out of dry-erase markers or something?
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Bench Gordon.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Another great 3 point shot by EJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    How about a good ole ass beating by MSU.
  • Ryan_Btown · 1 year ago
    and gordon's shooting woes continue...he's not very good right now
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    EMBARRASSING..............
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Maybe this will wake them up that they NEED to play defense to win game. I haven't seen DEFENSE played from this team all year.
  • HoosierSmitty · 1 year ago
    What else is on TV...
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Bench everybody.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Twister is on Indy Channel 23.
  • hysteric · 1 year ago
    i pity the gm that wastes a lottery pick on gordon...i hope he is working on his application for unemployment insurance right now
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Holy shit. Thats all I got.
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    WORST THING TO COME TO IU.... DAN DAKICH guy cant coach players miss SAMPSON ... WE WERE LUCKY TO WIN THOSE TWO OTHER GAMES
  • drode · 1 year ago
    Oh yeah we deffinetely need sampson on the sideline to tell gordon "shoot it evertime you get it" that would help.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    46-19 - Only 9 three pointers down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Dj is getting pwnd, EJ getting pwnd.
  • dabig · 1 year ago
    There's a show about Alaska on the History Channel.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    MSU shooting 81% is beyond ridiculous.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    piss poor defense.
  • KJ · 1 year ago
    laziness, stupidity and selfishness...this is unreal
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Good defense who stop that.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    I would bench everyone for the rest of the game. Maybe some pine time would get through to some of those kids.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Ok it's Finkelmeijer time. BRING OUT FINK!!
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Michigan State going for 60 points by half-time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about watching Waterboy?
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    I think the players should write defense on their shoes....in rememberance of what Indiana teams use to play

    This sucks ............EJ 25ft or 1ft...........
    Dj Man up get over KS and play dammit
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Compare this team now with the 93 Hoosier team - No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a way to choke today Hoosiers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • drode · 1 year ago
    maybe dak should suit up and go out there to play defense
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    DAN JUS WROTE HIS STORY AT IU ENJOY YOUR FIRST AND LAST TIME IN THE BRESLIN CENTER AS IU'S HEAD COACH
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    At this point I say hire Kellen Sampson tomorrow so these guys can get inspired and play .....geez. They got a pass for the northwestern game but this is ridiculous...........

    I agree bench ALL of them.
    Once again in every other post I post ..........I am going to say........Brandon McGhee is pissed right now and dont be surprised if he walks.....put him in at this poing what could he hurt?
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Thank god it's half time. Nascar race is on fox 59 at 4:00.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    Go Gordon!
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    I totally agree. Start playing McGhee and some other guys. Bench DJ, Gordon, and Crawford.
    Put some people out there that want to play defense.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    McGhee, Ahfield, Finklemeijer - Tim Garl etc.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    If anyone ever says again DD should be our head coach soomeone please bitchslap them.
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    This is the only way IU will stop MSU from scoring is at halftime.......
    Dak thanks for playing, I am sure you could try and stay on as an assistant. I am not sure why he hasn't ripped into these guys during this game.....hell I even saw mike davis do it......

    So lets talk about coaches.....
  • Dale · 1 year ago
    its not over yet, if we can shut them out this half we have a chance
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    If you watching the same game we just seen - that's a big stretch.
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    After halftime starters...

    G. B-FInk
    G. Adam Ahfeld
    F. Brandon "on my way to Depaul" McGhee
    F. Mike "is it too late to red shirt" White
    C. Kyle Tabar
  • Tom Coverdale IU Hero · 1 year ago
    its not our players fault that MSU is shooting 84% so how about all of you just stop giving are players crap MSU decided that they would put magnets inside the ball and on the rim so they would shoot good IU will get that rim and ball next half so we will se what happens and there is no way that someof these offensive fouls are really happening against us
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Any team can shoot 84% from the field with this type of terrible defense.
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    What defense?
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    yOUR RIGHT - WHAT DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    It is our players fault. No transition defense. Open shots for Neitzel. Weak ass 2-3 zone. Weak man to man defense. No movement on offense. Turnover after turnover. But DD needs to get in their face and light a fire under their ass.
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    By the way it is "giving OUR players crap" Not "giving ARE players crap"
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    It's all going to hell!! we can't hit shots, we can't play defense and we can't spell.
  • Tom Coverdale IU Hero · 1 year ago
    thats fyne peple mispel werds al tha tyme
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    That''s funny man - I don't care what you say - That's funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    sorry, I am a teacher. Couldn't help.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Anyone watching the 2nd half? How about 77.8% FG FOR MSU!!!!!!!
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    Pat Knight beat # 5 Texas> we're getting blown out by 30 by the 15th ranked team and we're 12th
  • BrianK · 1 year ago
    I think I just saw us run an offensive play and it worked. Im nut sure but I think so
  • Sam Snead · 1 year ago
    this is just sad
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    How's the golf swing?
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    What out MSU D. Thomas is in the game.
  • Sam Snead · 1 year ago
    go ohio state
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    4 points of D. Thomas.
  • Tom Coverdale IU Hero · 1 year ago
    i cant believe it deandre did something good but didnt get back on defense because his legs were hitting his stomach while he was running


    i think those 4 points might be a career high
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    That's pretty funny!
  • Tom Coverdale IU Hero · 1 year ago
    i think i just saw deandre running to the concession stand and grab a hotdog during that commercial break
  • Scott · 1 year ago
    This is so depressing. Way to go Hoosiers. I WAS looking forward to this game. Not now.
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    Why is Dakich so passive with these guys......you are down by 80 and you try an alley oop to EJ that DJ cleans up....NICE.......

    Where the hell is McCallum or anybody....yell at these guys.....
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Great job EJ and Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • dabig · 1 year ago
    In the three games played since Sampson left "for the best interest of the program" this team has played at about half speed. We're looking at exiting in the first round of the NCAA tournament unless Dakich can stir things up. He needs to turn the starters into reserves for the Minnesota and Penn State games for one thing.
  • Don D · 1 year ago
    Let's hope IU gets another chance to play the Spartan's in the Big Ten Conference tournament at Conseco
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    Not sure if you guys noticed but I don't have KS written on my shoes and I will be glad when I can write Dan Dakich on my shoes....neither of them let me play...

    sincerely Brandon McGhee
  • jgongora · 1 year ago
    I don't know if this is rude, but do you think our kids even care that they got their asses handed to them? It just feels that way to me. I was so glad that they changed to a different game, it was just too painfull to watch.
    jaime
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    Jgongora.....lets see...you are playing for a big ten title and you get beat by 30..mmmm....I don't think they do....you can bet Purdue or Wisconsin won't bet beat this way
