Pomeroy scouting report
TV: 2:30 p.m., BTN
Few of IU's 2008-09 losses were as humiliating as IU's 22-point home loss to Northwestern at Assembly Hall. Northwestern never had won at Assembly Hall, and the Wildcats' last win in Bloomington had been at what is now the Gladstein Fieldhouse in 1968. If Northwestern wins today, at Evanston, it will be the Wildcats' third in a row against IU, which will be NU's longest winning streak against the Hoosiers since NU won 5 in a row from 1930-1933. Of course, the difference isn't just IU's performance: Northwestern flirted with the bubble last year for the first time since the term has existed, and has a shot this year.
Unforuntately, I don't have time for a full-fledged preview today. As typical, NU takes great care of the ball, shoots nearly 37 percent from behind the arc, and shoots well from the line. NU doesn't rebound particularly well, particularly at the offensive end. The Wildcats' perimeter defense is good but their interior defense isn't great. Here are their stats. NU is holding things together despite the loss of Kevin Coble.

Purdue 78, Indiana 75: missed free throws doom Hoosiers' effort against #8 Boilermakers.

First of all, this was not a moral victory. Indiana had the chance to win, failed to do so, and the result was a Purdue win at Assembly Hall, always an unacceptable result. In the last five minutes, Purdue's experience and IU's inexperience showed.
What is encouraging, however, is that there really wasn't some anomalous part of Purdue's effort that explains how the seemingly overmatched Hoosiers state in the game. Robbie Hummel, E'Twaun Moore, and JaJuan Johnson scored near or above their season average. Purdue's shooting and three point shooting and turnover numbers were on par with their usual efforts. For whatever reason, the Hoosiers were able to match Purdue, for whatever reason. IU's only decided advantage was in three point shooting, where IU made 8-16 and Purdue made 6-19, but the decisive factor was free throw shooting. At halftime, IU led by 4, and the game was very evenly matched statistically except for IU's free throw shooting. At the end of the game, the story was similar: the game was pretty even in terms of shooting percentage, rebounding, and turnovers, but Purdue got to the line more often and, despite an anomalous 7-10 performance from Robbie Hummel, took advantage of the opportunities. At hafltime, IU was 11-13 from the line and Purdue was 5-8 from the line. In the second half, Purdue was 15-20 and IU was 2-5, and most crucially, all three misses were the front end of 1-and-1 opportunities in the final five minutes of the game. Purdue dialed up the intensity of its defense and IU did not have nearly the interior opportunities that were there in the first half. Still, for all of IU's second half struggles, Verdell Jones III hit one three pointer in the final 30 seconds and had a very good look for another that would have sent the game to overtime.

Hoosier Headlines for February 5, 2010: Purdue loss and Leary arrest.

Boilers strut away with win | The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.
"Chris Kramer made sure to give a little stomp while he was walking across midcourt after Purdue’s 78-75 victory over Indiana on Thursday. Right on the IU logo at center court. He said it was something, "I felt like I just had to do." But Kramer wasn’t done. When he was leaving the floor, he gave Indiana students a little attention, too. Kramer was waving his arms – usually a motion to get home crowds roaring – and yelling, "Yeah! Let’s go!" " (This is why we never, ever should let these guys win at Assembly Hall. Ever.) -
Hoosiers miss shots at big upset (The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.)
"The sophomore fell near half court and repeatedly banged his head softly on the floor. The Hoosiers scrapped but couldn’t pull off the upset, losing to the No. 8 Boilermakers 78-75 in front of 17,406 fans at Assembly Hall." -
Late surge lifts Boilers (Post-Tribune)
"I'm not here to be close with Purdue, I'm here to beat Purdue," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "But we're not discouraged. "Their major leaguers made a couple major league plays late." -

"I should have passed it ahead,'' Jones said. "We had Jordan (Hulls) wide open. It was selfish on my part. It was designed to go to me, but they sort of pinched in on me and I should have (passed) it ahead.''

On student sections.

Boiled Sports has some fun with the first game notes publication of the "Crimson Guard." I would jump to the defense of the IU students, but...well, my curmudgeonliness on this issue is pretty well documented. I want students to show up, wear crimson, and make lots of noise, and that’s it. I don’t like the Cameron Crazies and I especially don’t like the half-baked imitations of the Cameron Crazies that now are considered mandatory at all schools.
Amazingly enough, I do have some points of agreement with BS. Including:
- "Purdont" is lame. "Purdouchebags" has a bit more bite.
- It’s silly to have to teach students how to cheer. Again, IU managed to develop a nice homecourt advantage for 40 years without this crap. Still, this is a matter of the pot calling the kettle black. From the Paint Crew website:
-When the Boilers are shooting free throws, make your arm form the "L" shape as if you were about to do the "Boiler Up" motion. When we hit the free throw, yell "whoosh, boiler up" and actually do the "boiler up" motion, then clap four times.
When the Boilers win the tip, it has been a tradition for a few years for one of our members to start a "Lets go Boilers" *clap, *clap, *clap *clap *clap chant. If we lose the tip, just get as loud as possible.
When DJ Byrd does something cool, flap your arms like in Angels in the Outfield, but do not hit those people next to you.
When a player on the opposing team fouls out, be sure to walk them off the court, yelling "left" and "right" for every step made by the left and right feet.
...
-When Mark Wohlford does something, howl like a wolf.
Again, silly, but it’s par for the course for these contrived, named student sections. It's interesting that the "IU sucks" chant, which seems to crop up in Mackey regardless of the opponent, isn't an official Paint Crew cheer.

Top recruit Kates gives IU's Lynch a scare (The Indianapolis Star)
"Kates said his recent visits were to make sure he hadn't made a hasty decision by committing to IU in May 2009. When he did, he was the first commitment for IU coach Bill Lynch in the Class of 2010." -
Indiana schools build futures on signing day (Evansville Courier & Press)

Lynch Introduces 2010 recruiting class (Indiana Daily Student)
"While national scouting services rank IU’s 2010 signing class at the bottom of the Big Ten, Hoosier coach Bill Lynch welcomed the 25-member class on National Signing Day on Wednesday saying he felt very comfortable with his new recruits." -
Indiana, Purdue land the right fit in football recruiting (The News-Sentinel - Fort Wayne IN)
Indiana coach Bill Lynch isn’t worried about the lack of praise with his 25-player class, which has been rated as low as last in the Big Ten. "We got the guys we wanted," he said. "We take a lot of pride in our evaluation. Whether it’s a position need or the right type of person, we got guys who fit what we’re trying to do."
