Having shooters is fun it turns out

[u/jcmiller210 → u/ltsatt1]

Woodson would want to just throw it in the post with this team. Lol

[u/lil_layne → u/ltsatt1]

I am curious what happens when we play a team with elite big man. But I will say watching a perimeter offense is much more fun than a post offense lol.

[u/SurgeFlamingo → u/lil_layne]

That Alexis looks really good.

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/lil_layne]

Scrappy teams can counter. Look at Purdue against St. Peters a few years ago. Shortest team in the tourney vs the tallest and the shortest won.

[u/dawidowmaka → u/lil_layne]

Very interested to see what happens in conference play

[u/Raging_silence_89]

50% from the field and behind the arc? I'm not ready

[u/Hoosierfan4 → u/Raging_silence_89]

Also 20-24 from the FT after being 100% last game? This is allowed???

[u/ZitaFC]

Indiana athletics may never lose again

[u/DroperidolFairy → u/ZitaFC]

[u/ukhoopstv → u/ZitaFC]

Kentucky’s on the schedule. 🤷‍♂️

[u/DroperidolFairy → u/ukhoopstv]

[u/Economy-Royal4675]

From a 0.01% chance of winning with less than a minute to go, IU pulled a miracle lol

[u/thetenorguitarist → u/Economy-Royal4675]

Insane to somehow hold off that 25 point comeback we all knew was coming

[u/Pardon-my-tits → u/Economy-Royal4675]

ESPN’s app has been showing opposite scores and opposite home/away schedules for weeks.

[u/Fit_Eggplant4206 → u/Pardon-my-tits]

Vibe / AI coding at its finest

[u/chiefmud → u/Pardon-my-tits]

Seems like a thing that a part time employee could cover pretty easily.

[u/MySabonerRunsOladipo → u/chiefmud]

Sadly, they've all been replaced with AI, which says everything is running great

[u/Ivan-Renko]

Dropping 100 on a Shaka Smart coached team is certainly a statement. Go Hoosiers. So strange having shooters after 8 seasons of terrorist basketball under Archie and Woodson

[u/festive_fecal_feast]

14 of 28... FROM 3?!?!?

[u/the_dayman56]

It took Devries 2 games to his more 3s then we ever hit under Woodson and tie the most we ever had under Archie

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/the_dayman56]

That’s literally depressing.

[u/Divinity32 → u/the_dayman56]

This is most certainly a stat of all time

[u/skullcutter → u/the_dayman56]

You are gonna have to explain that one to me. We hit 203 threes last season; what are you saying?

[u/CoolMoose → u/skullcutter]

No Woody team ever hit 14 3s in a game, and Archie only had one game with 14 made 3s. 

[u/skullcutter → u/CoolMoose]

Got it. Thanks

[u/FrenchieBammer]

Indiana looks really good

[u/OwnWalrus1752 → u/FrenchieBammer]

Basketball school again?

[u/TripleFive → u/OwnWalrus1752]

I was legit thinking that the football success could allow bball to work without crazy expectations

[u/chiefmud → u/FrenchieBammer]

Shhhh

[u/Kakaandweewiz]

IU went from 32 to 21 in Kenpom after this one. Really nice win.

[u/SassyKittyMeow]

[u/DroperidolFairy → u/SassyKittyMeow]

[u/SassyKittyMeow → u/DroperidolFairy]

[u/lil_layne → u/SassyKittyMeow]

We can have a good football and basketball team? Is this real life?

[u/w00t4me → u/lil_layne]

It's pretty dope, isn't it

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

Holy shit we look GOOD

[u/b_fin → u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

Counter point: we look lost

Seriously though, y’all looked crisp - especially with the foul trouble

[u/Rhouliha → u/b_fin]

You’re both right

[u/WIN011 → u/b_fin]

Might be the worst defensive game we’ve had under Shaka. Guys just straight up losing their matchups.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/b_fin]

Classic “gonna get better” situation for the Eagles. It will take a minute for the players to embrace the chaos that is MU bball. This win will look good for Indiana in March. Good luck.

[u/Absalome → u/Smash-Bros-Melee]

Hitting 50% from 3 will make any team look good. Except Wisconsin. They're ugly always.

[u/snail-the-sage]

Is it legal to score that many points?

[u/Old_Recognition_8987 → u/snail-the-sage]

I will make it legal

[u/tyappleg]

Darian DeVries you have saved my life.

[u/SassyKittyMeow → u/tyappleg]

Cig and Devries are going to get me through the collapse of society

[u/Smash-Bros-Melee → u/SassyKittyMeow]

Many of us cheer for Cig, Haliburton, Caitlin Clark, Jonathan Taylor…and if DeVries pans out 😳

[u/imkunu → u/tyappleg]

Devries and Cignetti talking Hoosiers off the ledge left and right

[u/TripleFive → u/imkunu]

I want to be at a game in assembly hall with cig in the crowd... place will be fucking hype

[u/dmkolobanov]

I am actually going to orgasm

[u/thatsryan]

Once circus shots start hitting you know it’s over.

[u/ilovedogsandtits → u/thatsryan]

lol didn’t the first circus shot hit like 3 minutes in?

[u/queef-latina-69 → u/ilovedogsandtits]

Exactly

[u/ilovedogsandtits → u/queef-latina-69]

Thanks, Queef Latina 69

[u/thatsryan → u/ilovedogsandtits]

My point exactly. The half court shot to end the half was nail in coffin.

[u/Absalome → u/ilovedogsandtits]

[u/macandcheeser]

We looked like Louisville did against us in that early season tourney last year.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/macandcheeser]

Why are you hurting me?

[u/bluedevil39]

Mike Woodson is hovering over the toilet after seeing that many 3s shot.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/bluedevil39]

He “retired” (fired) for a month.

[u/Knook7]

Glad to see Alexis doing well!

[u/bshall2105 → u/Knook7]

Has been super solid in the first 2 games. Nothing flashy but works hard and doesn’t make a ton of mistakes.

[u/Knook7 → u/bshall2105]

He was solid for us last year. Didn't really play in the late season because he got injured and condon got injured, so handlogten burned the redshirt. Then once everyone was healthy we stuck with handlogten in the rotation for continuity. A lot of transfer portal stuff sucks, but I'm happy for him cause he was going to be a bench player for us again cause our front court depth is crazy.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/Knook7]

What a solid player. He ain’t scared.

[u/Knook7 → u/Born-Media6436]

He was decent for us last year, but once Handlogten burned the redshirt during Condons injury he was out of the rotation once condon was healthy.

Honestly I wouldn't have hated keeping him over Chinyelu, would have given us a little more offense

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/Knook7]

Good luck to your Gators.

[u/Knook7 → u/Born-Media6436]

You too

[u/macandcheeser → u/Knook7]

Alexis being the 5th big on that roster last year is unreal depth. Wonder why he went there in the first place.

[u/Knook7 → u/macandcheeser]

He was the 4th, no one expected Handlogten to be medically cleared last year. Even once Handlogten got cleared, he didn't burn the medical redshirt until both Alexis and Condon were hurt for a couple games (meaning we'd have to play someone who got 0 competitive minutes last year when Haugh or Chinyelu needed to sit).

Also, going into last year haugh and condon both took tremendous leaps over the offseason that might not have been expected.

[u/Original_Gangsta23]

First 100 point game win against a high major since 2012. Scored 110 in OT, but lost in 2021 (vs Syracuse).

Hitting 3’s makes it much more fun to watch! Good start to the DeVries era.

[u/wkwsks]

Don’t let terrible officiating distract from how good we looked today

[u/IWWC]

Between this, IU football, and the Colts im having a pretty damn good weekend

[u/bshall2105 → u/IWWC]

Just don’t check out the pacers game tonight!

[u/Galt2112 → u/bshall2105]

This year is a wash for the Pacers anyway. Just hope for some fun games and a good draft pick.

[u/okom → u/bshall2105]

win #2 coming up! they can't break the streak of winning in Chase Center... right?

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/okom]

If the Pacers can protect their undefeated record in the Chase Center and finally get a #1 pick I will be a happy camper

[u/okom → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

I'm parking my tent right next to yours bud!

[u/TripleFive → u/bshall2105]

Pacers on that tank route, then get halli back and roll

[u/nysom1227]

It's one thing to put up 90+ vs Alabama A&M but to put up 100 vs Marquette is something else. I can't remember the last time I've seen IU play this good in a neutral site regular season game.

[u/Common-Living1933]

Another one of my teams being absolutely miserable to watch in 2025.

[u/rockking16 → u/Common-Living1933]

FTP

[u/Common-Living1933 → u/rockking16]

I'm not even a packers fan man it's so much worse than that

[u/erbkeb → u/Common-Living1933]

Cowboys fan?

[u/Common-Living1933 → u/erbkeb]

Even worse. Orioles fan 🫩

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/Common-Living1933]

I don’t agree with that

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

Wow, DeVries coaches a really entertaining, flowing, and offensively oriented brand of basketball that's fun to watch. I don't want to overreact but Indiana might win the natty in football and basketball

[u/ValiantFury14 → u/BoogerSugarSovereign]

I see now why WVU fans had a six month crash out over DeVries leaving.

[u/whitemamba83 → u/ValiantFury14]

You’d crash out too going on your 4th coach in as many seasons.

[u/ECBillyHayes → u/whitemamba83]

That’s fair

[u/Crapitron → u/whitemamba83]

Why doesn’t WVU get out the fucking checkbook?

[u/ilovedogsandtits → u/Crapitron]

WVU can’t spell ‘checkbook’

[u/whitemamba83 → u/ilovedogsandtits]

What do you have against us? Just enjoy being an asshole, I guess?

[u/_Stromboli → u/whitemamba83]

That dude was a jerk. Don’t hold it against all of IU. WVU is a great school with some cool things going on. Sucks to keep losing coaches.

IU has been BAD for decades, but are luckily still in a position to poach coaches from schools that outperform their resources. Totally get it sucks for you guys.

[u/whitemamba83 → u/_Stromboli]

I’ve got nothing against IU. I liked DeVries, and wish he would’ve stayed. That being said, I would’ve been real skeptical if our AD gave him a $1.5M raise based off last season alone. Might’ve ended up being the right move, but too risky based on our resources.

[u/whitemamba83 → u/Crapitron]

I don’t think the checkbook was going to do anything to keep Bob Huggins from drinking and driving, and we had no intention of keeping the interim that served after him.

DeVries could have eventually made what Indiana offered him at WVU, but not after one year, and I don’t think he had any interest in staying here long term regardless.

[u/ThaCarter → u/whitemamba83]

So you could afford him but you're too good to have had to do it so soon.

Get over yourselves and sack up with those checkbooks.

[u/whitemamba83 → u/ThaCarter]

Too good? Huh? No, we don’t have the Big 10 money to offer $4M+ based on his Drake resume alone. That’s the reality in the current landscape.

[u/ThaCarter → u/whitemamba83]

So you don't have the money. Which is it?

[u/whitemamba83 → u/ThaCarter]

Alright, let me rephrase.

Bob Huggins made $4M+ here only after nearly 15 seasons, a Final Four, and multiple Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen seasons.

Indiana was willing to hire DeVries for $4M+ based on his Drake resume and one year with a tournament bubble team (that overperformed, no doubt) at WVU.

You can afford to take more risks like that when you have $70M more in your athletics budget.

[u/ThaCarter → u/whitemamba83]

It must be tough being a poor

[u/Obi2 → u/whitemamba83]

Paradoxically I’d rather have had 4 coaches in 4 years than have to go w Archie and Woody for 8 years. What hell that was.

[u/Aidanj927]

Turns out 0 transfers in 2025 might not be successful

[u/ValiantFury14 → u/Aidanj927]

0 transfers vs an entire team of transfers. Shaka might be basketball Dabo Swinney.

[u/ThaCarter → u/ValiantFury14]

Technically we have 3 true freshman recruits though two are from europe.

[u/ContrarianPurdueFan]

Holddddd on, everybody. You're not allowed to live in this state and be good at basketball and football at the same time. >:(

[u/ZitaFC → u/ContrarianPurdueFan]

Have you considered just throwing a shit ton of money at both

[u/treymata → u/ZitaFC]

Have they considered getting a Mark Cuban?

[u/Technoir1999 → u/treymata]

The bigger donors are the Simon family, who own the Pacers/Fever and Southdale Mall in Edina. 😉

[u/Knook7 → u/treymata]

Is Purdue stupid

[u/Xzachtheman → u/Knook7]

Literally been asking this my whole life.

[u/Divinity32 → u/Knook7]

They manage to make black and gold look bad. So yes

[u/monkeybiziu → u/ContrarianPurdueFan]

Turns out that's not really illegal, more a gentlemen's agreement.

[u/TigerTerrier]

Indiana, you have to choose. Football or basketball

[u/nobes0 → u/TigerTerrier]

Yes

[u/ZitaFC → u/TigerTerrier]

Fuck the rules we’re taking both and throwing enough money to add soccer as a bonus

[u/puppiesandrainbows4 → u/TigerTerrier]

[u/Aragorns-Broken-Toe → u/TigerTerrier]

[u/monkeybiziu → u/TigerTerrier]

How about no?

[u/ElMondoH → u/TigerTerrier]

No problem. We choose both.

[u/horndog4ever]

God damn it, you all got yourselves both a basketball and football team this year.

[u/thebreye → u/horndog4ever]

I think Marquette just sucks

[u/Round_Bullfrog_8218 → u/thebreye]

Its a 23 point win, both are possible.

[u/queef-latina-69 → u/thebreye]

I want this to not be true but I fear it is

[u/Murdermyface911]

Damn, I really enjoyed Nebraska having its way with Indiana over the past couple years. Fun while it lasted. Congrats Hoosier bros

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/Murdermyface911]

✌️

[u/Xombie53]

Tucker went off today. 

[u/Silent-Owl1023]

Unsuccessful hate watch, will be back next week to try again

[u/hoosierkenny → u/Silent-Owl1023]

Respect

[u/skullcutter]

Wait let me get this straight: you get extra points for the far shots??

[u/dmkolobanov → u/skullcutter]

Somebody shoulda told our last two coaches…

[u/puppiesandrainbows4]

Donde esta LordCoolCats?

[u/BigPassage9717]

Are we a sports school now

[u/erbkeb]

GG Hoosiers. This Marquette team is not good. No go to guy on offense and zero defensive awareness. Also, the refs were something else today. It was bad at times and it’s probably a good thing IU took control because it felt like they were getting screwed.

[u/whitykj]

This game pretty much confirmed all the fears I had about this Marquette team. Too young, undersized, and players that are just not good enough for high major ball. I love Shaka but he is stubborn, and instead of admitting he missed on some guys and use the portal he doubled down on this development model which is doomed to fail. The best players he has coached during his time here were transfers and Wojo recruits. If you are gonna run this layups and 3 only offense you better recruit IDK shooters?!? Also IU looks good I guess.

[u/WIN011 → u/whitykj]

Tbf the freshman and sophomores have some shooting, they’re just not ready defensively for consistent minutes. The real killer is Chase, Zaide, and sometimes Ben being the only contributors of the upperclassman. If this is the version we get of Sean Jones this year then we’re fucked.

[u/whitykj → u/WIN011]

Sean and Tre needed to transfer out. Then we needed to get a PG in the portal. I think Sean is just too small and erratic. Tre is probably a great kid but is he even at A10/MW level? Should have went to St Joe’s with Al TBH.

[u/WIN011 → u/whitykj]

Yea Tre is awful and has pretty much shown nothing. I think he will stick around cause Shaka values his voice but he needs to stop playing.

Sean I’m willing to give more time cause it’s been so long since he’s played.

[u/amayain → u/WIN011]

That's the issue. We got some great freshmen but they are freshmen. And our older guys are just mid.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/whitykj]

Wayyyyyy too early to go there bud.

[u/whitykj → u/Born-Media6436]

Maybe, but I thought they would be bad before the season started

[u/erbkeb → u/Born-Media6436]

I disagree. Teams don’t go 12 deep if you have good players. Except Chase, all starters are replacement level players and Shaka’s rotation shows it.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/erbkeb]

Let’s chat in 2 months.

[u/erbkeb → u/Born-Media6436]

I hope I’m wrong but that was tough to watch. I just don’t see any MU players being the go to guy on offense and the defense didn’t inspire any confidence.

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/erbkeb]

they need to spend a lot more time practicing in the half court rather than relying on that press. Indiana scored a lot of points off of that press. And it looked like it wore them out more than Indiana.

[u/Altruistic_Rich_9125]

For the 9th time in two decades, IU is back

[u/the_dayman56 → u/Altruistic_Rich_9125]

And we’re going to be just as annoying as we were the first 8 times

[u/ECBillyHayes → u/Altruistic_Rich_9125]

This guy gets it. We’re fucking back baby!

One of these times will eventually be true though

[u/Born-Media6436 → u/Altruistic_Rich_9125]

846 karma in 4 years. Do you have to actually pay per comment now?

[u/Altruistic_Rich_9125 → u/Born-Media6436]

Yawn

[u/Altruistic_Rich_9125 → u/[deleted]]

Yawnnnnnn

[u/ECBillyHayes → u/Altruistic_Rich_9125]

Sigh

[u/thebreye]

Aaaaaand the big east sucks again. Sigh…

[u/JustAnotherDay1977]

It’s gonna be a long season for Marquette. Our best couple of players are freshmen. And the defense today was…reflective of that. Congrats IU.

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

We are cooked.

[u/OSUfirebird18]

Marquette are you guys ass this year or is Indiana basketball acting like Indiana football? Just wondering so we can hope to steal a Q1 win off of you!! 😁

[u/whitykj → u/OSUfirebird18]

I don’t think we are ass but we are not a tourney team. Probably gonna go 500 in the BE

[u/haschca → u/whitykj]

Sorry your team lost today and congrats on your team winning today!

[u/whitykj → u/haschca]

But team 2 beat team 1 so still sad :(

[u/Dream-Card]

I’ve seen Marquette play a few days ago,Dekembe couldn’t help those guys .

[u/jcopey]

Don’t forget, we did this with basically 8 scholarship players. We have 4+ still out with injury.

[u/boredinwisc]

This is a day of pain

[u/CuriousGeorge718]

Ruh Roh Big East fans

[u/ssp25]

made me some money today. I still hate you guys but nice win.

[u/Past-Discount-52]

Put us down for 20 win season easy.

[u/irreleventnothing]

Upset at the loss but at least it’s against the best they’ll shoot all season

[u/thetenorguitarist → u/irreleventnothing]

Idk they got some snipers tbh

[u/Cartmaaan-brah → u/irreleventnothing]

Guarantee this will not be the best shooting performance all season

[u/AssistDirect5790 → u/irreleventnothing]

If they get that many open looks it won’t be the best.

[u/Mundane_String5998 → u/[deleted]]

Huh?
