Inside the Hall: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

  • dale myers · 1 year ago
    just a note of appreciation for your game coverage...I live way beyond TV and radio but can follow the game through your commentary - and think you do a terrific job!
  • BigT · 1 year ago
    Ive been in Arizona the past few days, just wondering what the status is on Ratliff...
  • James · 1 year ago
    Dale Myers - Yahoo has live radio broadcasts that you can buy for 4.95/mo. That is what i do to listen to the games on the internet.

    BigT - I believe Ratliff's ankle is still bothering him? Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

    As for game predictions - Iowa always gives us a tough time on their home floor. However, given the talent we have compared with them I think we should win this one. It may not be comfortable like the last few games, but we get by them this time. Hoosiers start 2-0 in away games in the BT!!
  • James · 1 year ago
    Dale Myers - meant to link you up in the previous post but here is the link to those broadcasts.

  • David · 1 year ago
    There are also free (and legal) ways to listen to the games on the internet. A lot of local Indiana radio stations carry the IU network and play the basketball games. It's a nice way for those of us not in the Hoosier state to be able to listen to the action.
  • Big A · 1 year ago
    I would expect Ratliff to play this evening.

    Dale,
    Thanks for the nice words. They are certainly appreciated.
  • PostmanR · 1 year ago
    I sometimes like to check in on the IU student radio broadcast. They're certainly never short on enthusiasm: http://www.wiux.org/

    Just click on one of the stream choices up in the top right in the header.

    Also, I've mentioned this before, but if you're really killing for some live video of the game I'd suggest you to head over to http://sopcast.org/

    I don't know if there's a Big Ten Network stream set up there or not, but poking around certainly wouldn't hurt.

    For more on Sopcast, read this:

    Ready ... break.
  • David · 1 year ago
    I didn't see the IU-Iowa game on the sopcast forum I visit. And I have yet to see a Big Ten network game on Sopcast.

    I'm so used to listening to the games online with Fisch that I don't really mind if I can't see the games on tv or the internet.
  • James · 1 year ago
    I tried like heck to find the games for free but it really frustrated me a lot. I used to use SOPcast to watch NFL but they did away with the NFL streaming broadcasts.

    BTW I JUST heard Coach Sampson on the pregame show that Ratliff IS in fact playing tonight. Woohoo!
  • David · 1 year ago
    James you can usually listen to IU games at www.kicks96.com - make sure you are using Internet Explorer.

    As for NFL games, I normally go to www.myp2p.eu/

    I was able to watch the Colts-Falcons game over Thanksgiving on there. Normally the quality is good although I have had trouble with sound and disruptions recently.
  • PostmanE · 1 year ago
    For the purposes of the group, I will say that I've always had some trouble with SopCast, though I'm the only one I know that has. I might just be stupid.

    Hyped for the game. Let's get it on.
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    EJ damn what a three falling away.
  • PostmanR · 1 year ago
    DJ and EJ leading the pace early. Always good to see.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    too much standing around on offense.

    too many open shots for Iowa.

    can't let them keep the crowd in the game.

    Is that McGee or Holman in street clothes?
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    I think it's holman
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Ratliff in at 13:08.
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    there comes AJ in the game
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Last three positions good D for IU, except for last second three.
  • ray · 1 year ago
    freeman just won an oscar!!!!!!
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    What's up with the camera angle on from the floor!!
  • ray · 1 year ago
    wait a minute! it didn't look real, but rather completely acted. so, i guess he shouldn't win any kind of acting award...my bad.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    gordon gets a lot of calls.

    good to have a guy the refs respect
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    The BTN has the worst camera coverage ever.
  • ray · 1 year ago
    bc...my thoughts exactly. that was terrible.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    let's remember Iowa has an rpi of 235..
  • ray · 1 year ago
    gordon does get the calls. it's too bad that thomas gets them too...but not the way we would like.
  • PostmanE · 1 year ago
    Bootsie:

    Agreed. I always complain when refs treat opposing stars differently (cough Dwayne Wade cough) but it sure is nice to have that guy be on your team.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    What the hell...happen to team play...to much show
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    not a sterling performance.

    might regret not playing more road games in December.

    Why no Bassett?
  • ray · 1 year ago
    yeah, why no bassett?
  • Big A · 1 year ago
    Bassett's ankle is hurt. He was questionable before the game started. Guess he tested it out and decided he can't go.
  • nealE · 1 year ago
    i really can't stand this freeman kid. i'm still seething over the back to back fouls on DeAndre from him, especially the 2nd. the ref was totally to of position to make the call. thats my biggest pet peeve with big 10 refs

    on a positive note, EJ is looking great and AJ made a great save under the basket, and doesn't look afraid to take a shot.

    and yes the BTN is awful with camera work/angles
  • PostmanE · 1 year ago
    And the announcing. I've heard not only a Noah's Ark reference, but just heard that Iowa's bench is "Kate Moss thin." It made me want to throw my HDTV through a window.
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    This is sad so fare, gotta get DJ the ball every time down the floor
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    bad half against a bad team.

    ain't playing Coppin State tonight, Toto
  • ray · 1 year ago
    iowa doesn't shoot this well and they will get tired. iu should still be able to pull off a 10-15 point defeat. it's zero to zero going into the second half and iu still has the advantage even though its in iowa.

    i can't even stand to listen to gene keady...he's terrible!
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    This is the first game that I have watch the game without the guys, just my twin girls tonight...it's nice to hear my other gang on ITH.
    First half in the can and coach better get them ready for the second half. Can't really complain about the zebra's just some stupid play by IU. Nice shot by Ellis tie game 34 all.
    I hope I don't have to break out Mr Captain...that would be Morgan.
    bc
  • ray · 1 year ago
    i called leuer a potential star at wisconsin after watching him in the first game of the season. he's a 6'10" point guard for crying out loud...well not really, but he will be impressive in the big ten. glad to see him come out strong.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    first five minutes of second half critical.

    let Iowa take the lead, crowd will be in the game til the wire.
    lock down early and create some breathing room.
  • ray · 1 year ago
    yeah, i was just talking to my dad about that shot...very tough...i really like ellis!
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    From reading some postings on here it might not be all that bad I don't have the BTN with the camera angles and the announcers....thanks Fish and leary
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Ray,
    It's nice to hear you watching the game with your Dad. My dad happens to be a huge KY fan...I usually go to the IUvsKY game so I don't have to hear his $h!t unitl I get back home.
    I have four kids and I hate to think about college right now.
    bc
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Gotta score here give it to DJ again and work it inside out.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Keep the points coming and put the stop to'em
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    2 big buckets there, gotta keep up the intensity on D
  • James · 1 year ago
    Nice! Quick 4 pt lead to start the half. We needed that.
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    So much for the fast start now down by 2
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    abysmal
  • James · 1 year ago
    Yep. What is going on with our defense and all of these dunks??
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    good no foul by DJ.
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    this is pathetic.
  • Big A · 1 year ago
    This game is going down to the wire unless we can get some good looks on offense. Far too much one-on-one.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    why do we continually hedge out too far on these high pick and rolls...how many more easy back door buckets are we going to give up before sampson corrects it?
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    the officiating is awful also
  • James · 1 year ago
    Ellis is keeping us in this game right now. Go big red!!!
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Good thing Ellis is playing with some heart cause no one else is.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Don'tcha just love Ellis? And we have him for one more year...great pass by Gordon...He could have tried the shot but great look.
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    STEMLER! thank you! light a fire under the team's ass please.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Rotate and wear the @h!t out of this team.
  • James · 1 year ago
    Well somebody has to do it, because DJ certainly isnt.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    they only have two subs we should be running them to death
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    EJ should be driving every third touch
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Did you hear the crowd...dunk'en donuts when D shot free throws.
  • James · 1 year ago
    Alright 5 point lead! Hopefully they will smell blood and put these guys AWAY.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Did you see the hot chick behind IU bench?
  • James · 1 year ago
    Good reason why TV beats the radio.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    ya she's my girlfriend if your are referencing the brunette
  • James · 1 year ago
    Gordon and one!! WOOHOO!!
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    EJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ's the man.....
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    I love Eric Gordon.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Alright it is time to get serious...
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Best offensive set all night
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Back to Back jams by DJ! About time we get something going.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    wonder why we haven't seen armon in awhile...did i miss somethin is he injured or sampson just benching him
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    DJ DJ DJ!
  • James · 1 year ago
    Thats right get take that last timeout. DJ is starting to assert himself finally
  • kelin · 1 year ago
    Jamarcus on any other team could score 20 a game but just does a lot of good "basketball stuff" for IU.

    When will IU get healthy and fully stocked with everyone.
  • James · 1 year ago
    bassett has a bum ankle.
  • James · 1 year ago
    Yeah I love Ellis' game. Ive seen 3 or 4 games this year on TV and he looks like the real deal.
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Why haven't the announcers on BTN said anything about Bassets ankle?
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    thanks
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    they probably haven't even noticed he hasn't been in
  • Big A · 1 year ago
    Luke,

    They are clueless. They probably don't even realize he's not playing.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    James, You made the comment that you'd seen Ellis 3 or 4 games this year...do you mean that you are referring to his play 3 or 4 times or that you have only seen him play that many times?
    bc
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    Big Ten network is a mid-major network
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    "Big Ten network is a mid-major network"

    haha funniest thing I've heard all night
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    DJ just loves rebounding the basketball doesn't he.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    ya he takes a lot of pride in it apparently
  • James · 1 year ago
    Well now that I think about it, I can only think of Kentucky and the Georgia Tech games that I have seen on TV so its 2 games. Still I listen to all the games on the net and he seems like a really dynamic player. I wish I got the BTN, but I would need DISH for that.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    aj has kind of disappointed me this game I expected more out of him as a senior tonight couple of dumb fouls
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    This is just crazy
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    can we get the ball in gordon's hands!????

    this is ridiculous.
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Luke,
    Your're right...this is just crazy.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    seriously
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    This is unbelievable!!!!!!!
  • James · 1 year ago
    Somebody needs to guard johnson!!
  • POSTMANF · 1 year ago
    what a joke.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    not impressed
  • Luke · 1 year ago
    Damn what a finish. Man I'm glad this one is OVER!!!
  • James · 1 year ago
    Wow. Nice win on the road. Time to get the pepto bismol out! We should have put this game away earlier but any win on the road in conference is a good win.
  • PostmanR · 1 year ago
    I think my heart stopped when they hit that last three ... unreal. Argh. I suppose a win is a win and a win.
  • bootsie white · 1 year ago
    i give iowa credit.

    played hard on both ends with minimal talent.
  • Corey · 1 year ago
    Iowa clearly played out their rear there in the end but everyone has their night...good road when for us regardless of the name on the jerseys...everyone in the conference will be giving us their best night in night out...I went to school with #4 Angle for Iowa and his first shot that missed the rim by 4 feet was a true indicator of his talent he played above his level tonight also
  • Bleeding Crimson · 1 year ago
    Crazy win...keep in mind that we are in the big ten now and it will not get any easier. WOW. Still a win and I'll take it. We have to win on the road and protect the home court. I wish everyone was able to watch the game...I guess I take it for granted that I'm able each game...I can count on one hand the games that I have missed in the last five years.
    bc
  • ray · 1 year ago
    yeah............................
  • ray · 1 year ago
    i hope iowa continues to play like this, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it from fans across the b10. they were much better tonight than i've seen...at least ten times better. like everyone is saying though, it's a w away from b town!
  • Stephen · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the good stuff! I went to the bar to watch the game and wondered what was up with Bassett. Figured I'd find my answer here.

    BWs gets a lot of my money now that the BTN is running the show.

    Someone said it earlier, but a win is a win. No scratch that. MOST IMPORTANTLY...ANY ROAD win is a BIG win.

    Iowa made ridiculous shots all game, and obviously down the stretch with those 3s. I can't fault IU on at least 15-20 points that Iowa scored, but we can play better.
  • Stephen · 1 year ago
    Just checking Jamarcus Ellis's stat line:

    15 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, 1 block, only 1 turnover!

    WOW!

    That's amazing. He really pulled us through a tough stretch in the game, too. He is a rock for this team.

    Not thrilled with Jordan Crawford tonight...hope Bassett's ankle isn't too bad. Tape them ankles trainers! (Or stop letting these guys TRY to guard EJ in practice)
