My 2 Keys to the Indiana game:

[ScarletDave]

(1) Does Rob Phinsee play for IU .. they are night and day with or without him at the guard. I will even go as far to say if he is healthy and himself they win, if he’s off balance it’s close, and if he can’t go we win.

(2) Fouls in transition. Indiana runs runs runs after a miss and we seem to get called for a foul every single time a team runs as they just drive at us and it’s either FTs or an And-1 (versus us who always seem afraid to finish in transition and end up with a stupid offensive foul, bad toss randomly at the basket, or turnover out of bounds) but that’s another point .. so if we can not foul in transition and get back and force Indy into the half court (or just make shots on the other end), I will feel good.

From a Rutgers centric POV

Turnover and Myles fouls.
3rd wildcard is really the offensive play of Young

I maybe making false assumptions that.....
1. Crowd will be a factor
2. We will play good defense and rebound
3. Indiana won’t win 50/50s and won’t match our toughness, especially given #1

I think scoring at least 65 points is important to counterbalance Indiana living on the foul line.

TOS Indiana board talking about their FT shooting away from home being pretty bad this year. It's fun to see other teams fans complain about FT shooting

Your analysis sounds like a fan with PTSD from the last decade. We are #13 in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency. People are running it down our throats? We score an absurd amount of points in the paint, much of it through transition. We mess up every fast break?

We need a board psychologist

My keys

1. yeboa needs to have a good game on both sides of the floor Not settling for 3 pointers

2. young needs to neutralize Phinisee with good D and also continue his solid play on the offensive side

 

[Scangg]

Yeboah at the 3 point line could lure TJD away from the basket. He can drive and maybe draw a foul but just his floor spacing may open it up for others and lead to more chances at the hoop and more offensive boards. When Yeboah is on he's a 3 point shooter.

1. Stop IU in transition.
2. Score more points than IU (-:

If we score more than them tonight, think we have a shot
