Indiana in a struggle currently 2nd half vs Army., who lost by double digits to Stonehill.

Perhaps they are being kinder and gentler as a Veteran’s Day gift?

Looks like only one Indiana team will be dominant this year....

TIe game, 3 minutes left.

We might embarrass Indiana.

We might embarrass Indiana.

IU shot 58% from the field and nearly lost to Army. Army took almost 20 more shots (huge steals/turnover disparity). Oof.

Also, top notch post from the IU message board.

Yep, Butler looks to have turned a corner

[elmcityboy]

this made me laugh. at least when hurley ran the weave it was crisp!

 

[AdamaNation]

We’ll handle them and if we’re hot from 3 we might blow them out

Let’s save the blowouts for march and April!!!

Agreed, if they get the big man queen outta bmore then they would have a really good class coming in, but I'll never forget goin on the road vs them and handing it to them in '08, JC coached his a** off that day, one of the more gratifying wins I've watched because we were short handed and they were a top ten team wit a dog in Dj White and and Eric Gordon

Amen - that was a really satisfying win.

The “ESPN Analytics“ (which I often find terrible) win probability for us vs. Indiana at the moment translates to following odds:

Spread: UConn -4.5
Moneyline: -210

Curious what people think line will be as unfathomable for me to think it will be 4.5 even if Castle definitely out (and Clingan on minutes limit)… I saw Indiana-Army game and the eye test difference is stark

fwiw, FGCU is still a pesky team. Didn't see the Indiana game, but saw their game vs Pitt, which had tremendous height advantage, and still only won by 12 @home. Five FGCU guys scored double figs.

I am a tad worried about IU's four man, he's not super tall, or athletic, or a shooter but he's got some heft to him that could give Karaban problems and he is a baller.

Based on your description the IU 4 man should be worried about Alex

It goes both ways. Just thought he was the best player on IU when I saw them play.

Sorry to say, I had to look this one up:

We should have a major advantage at the SG/SF spots. I don't see anyone on their roster who is going to stop Tristen and Castle from feasting.

This assumes Castle is healthy.

This assumes Castle is healthy.

That's why I said "and" because it also includes Tristen.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I’m looking for the bench to have a bounce back game. I’m 99% positive Hurley will lean on his starters in this one, but if a couple of these guys give us surprising minutes, it could be a blowout.

 

[bendm]

IU has beaten gulf coast and army by a combined 14 pts.. should serve as a great final tune up before Texas on monday.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I really wish IU was blowing people out. The most dangerous thing for UConn is thinking this is an easy game. Take them seriously and it’s a W.

They're in a bit of a shoot-out with a just okay Wright St. team (who themselves have a bad defense). We shouldn't have problems scoring on Sunday. Should be an entertaining game.
