***OFFICIAL INDIANA AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN TEASE PORTION OF THE SCHEDULE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***



Fun game to be at. Crowd wasn't big but it was very vocal and engaged, boys gave a great effort. As Indiana found out it's a tough league to win on the road in.
As I always say, I like my crowds like I like my women: small and loud.

Much has been made of the crowd and its loudness and the home-court advantage. My benchmark is the mid-to-late 90s. That building literally shook in those days, so I'm hard to impress. But for the size of the audience, we did pretty well tonight. I'll take the coach at his word that it was good and made a significant difference, and I love to hear that.
 

Watch second half. They played poised and under control. Spacing was good. Asuma looked the smoothest I’ve seen him and he wanted to ball to close it out.

Quality win!
Loved Asuma’s game today. He was so much more confident and aggressive. Definitely something to build on there.
 



Loved the motor and effort out of Grove tonight. Good call out on Reynolds having a Grier like game. Hopefully he can build on that and keep it going. Nice to see Durkin hitting shots and having a little swagger. Maybe a game like this is all he needs to get going. If Asuma can play like that regularly he'll be a good one. Tyson was Tyson. If the guys around him can help with scoring consistently we will have some good games to watch this winter. They might not win a lot but they should be entertaining. All around a fun game.
 

Anyone bad mouthing Hummel can shove it, one of the best commentators out there right now.
Maybe it's my familiarity with Cory Provus but I thought he did an extremely good job on the PBP call. I was very impressed with his work tonight.

I'm usually not a big fan of Hummel in general but I didn't notice any IU partisan slant from him in this game.
 


Wow. Just finished watching. What a gutty performance from this short-handed crew!

Only 1 point from 21 total bench minutes.

Probably not a sustainable approach, but that sure was fun!
That’s going to cement that team’s togetherness.

Class will be fun on Thursday😎
 



In his first conference game, Niko has now won half as many conference games as Pitino won in his 3rd season and Johnson won in his second. The great thing about this win (in addition to being a rare one against Indiana) is it was truly a team effort.
Clem’s first win against a ranked Big Ten team was in his 39th Big Ten game.
