DISQUS

Inside the Hall: Keys to the game: Arkansas

  • tberry · 1 year ago
    It is nice to think that our inconsistent play is over and we will be able to beat Arkansas but I for one an worried.

    We have been expecting IU to break out of their doldrums for the last 5 or 6 games but they just keep muddling through.

    If IU wants to win they will need to come into this game with a completely different attitude but what has changed to give them the different attitude?

    I'm afraid that Arkansas will run us off the floor unless we get very serious and start playing for someone. I don’t care who we are playing for as long as we are playing to win.

    I was there to see them practice, and I have to admit they did look relaxed. DJ at one time saw me, and we each gave each other a fist pump. EJ looked more comfortable shooting the threes and hopefully that will translate into a game. Dakich was paying a lot of attention to Lance Stemlar standing right next to him while he was shooting threes. It was a lot of fun. I made sure they could here me, and even introduced myself to Terry Hutchens.

    Jamie,

    Are you going to the game?
  • jgongora86 · 1 year ago
    Hell Yeah. I'm even going to wish the team good luck at the hotel. The Alumni here want to give them a proper send off.

    Glad to hear they seem to be relaxed...
    Now all we can do is wait and see what they come out with tomorrow night....
    Also....Good Luck to Mt. St. Mary's!

    like gordon said, tomorrow is a new beginning. and if any of the players are reading, remember that you don't play for indiana so you can have a chance at making the big dance. you play for it all.

    Good assessment of the game...one more thing I think is really important for IU will be the play of Jamarcus Ellis.

    He needs to keep his head in the game, play furious defense, and be the stat stuffer that we all knew and loved at the beginning of the year.

    I'm looking for a a 8 point, 9 rebound, six assist, four steals type game out of him....he needs to play big.

    If we're counting on Ellis at this point, I think we've got problems. Prove me wrong, Jamarcus.

    I completely concur with this statement. Until he shows me that he is willing to buy into the team concept again, and get passed the idea that he was somehow wronged in this situation, he is a liability.

    Again I think a lot of Hoosier fans are praying he proves us all wrong. If nothing else man, play for DJ. That guy has been through more in his time here than anyone and yet he still lays it out there every night. Give him a chance to have a face to face with Hansbrough, he unlike most has earned it.

    I'm going to step out on a HUGE limb here...IF and ONLY IF...we make more baskets...score more points...and play better defense than Arkansas...will we win!

    GO HOOSIERS! KILL THE HILLBILLIES!
