  • Game # 26: Indiana (20-5, 10-2) @ Michigan State (20-5, 7-5) Game Thread
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Thomas Bryant is a nightmare in PnR defense. Every time he's involved, MSU gets a good look.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

I guess it works, but Forbes going down on every 3 is highly aggravating.

It can't be overstated how much he struggles there. It's giving me a headache.

...ugh...not sure I can take what I have seen in this game combined with the gut wrenching scenes that will surely happen on tonight's TWD, in the same day...

Youth for sure. Hammons was nearly unplayable early in his career because of it. He played because Purdue had no options but it's frustrating.

Dakich made a good point in the Purdue-Maryland game. Most young bigs aren't good playing multiple things at the same time. You have to be able to affect the ball handler and the roll guy. Tough thing for young guys to learn especially since they probably have spent most of their young careers standing in front of the rim on D.

IU has clearly thrown the towel in.

Agreed. Not only haven't they done it, but neither are exactly nimble their freshman years. I'd say that's as tough of a thing to learn for a freshman big man as anything.

I'd like to hear an argument for him not getting 25 minutes a game.

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but it is time Crean play OG more and bench Troy. Matter of fact, he should send a strong message to Troy and bench him the next 3 games. IMO, he is the key to this team having a deep run in the BIG and NCAA tourney but the guy needs to play a heck of a lot better on both ends of the floor. We seem to have trouble with teams that have point forwards like Wisconsin and MSU. There is no reason why this guy can't be a lock down defender and a consistent 15 plus scorer on the offensive end but the dude is frustrating as heck. I would let OG get the start on all 3 games and plant Troy's but on the pine and not let him see the floor until he is ready to play hard, consistent on both ends.

Some of you think Bryant is frustrating, well at least the dude is trying. Troy doesn't give us that effort every game.
