Indiana message board.

[Sett1997]

Rarely do I go to another board, but decided to lurk a little.
Iowa is the luckiest team on the planet with Jbo's three to win the game, refs screwed us, blah blah.
Seems they forgot the game was tied when he hit it. They are acting like they were up by 2 and would have won had he not hit the shot. Worst case for us it would have went to OT which would have favored us due to momentum.
Their tears are delicious. Lol
Some posters did remind them that this isn't Jbo's first rodeo. Lol

Whiney little bitches get to play home games in many btt. Boo hoo lol

Sounds like this board when Iowa loses.

Pretty sure all boards sound alike after a close, big loss.
The thing that got me is they act like they didn't know it was tied. Had he missed there certainly was no guarantee they would go on to win. JBO lucky? Pretty sure he planned on making that and it certainly was in his range. Little long but spot on otherwise. It swished after the bank! 🤣

Same things you'd be seeing here if Iowa had lost a close game. The losing team always bemoans the officiating and it was a lucky shot when it comes down to it. I recall a fair number of comments on here bemoaning the 2 consecutive bank shots by Wisconsin at the end of their game with Purdue for the win (me included).

Weezy corner bank vs RU..that was lucky. Today's shot....meh

I get calling the luck thing, but JBO was shooting lights out at the end of the game. He's freaking deadly when he's on and as clutch as they come.

 

[slipHawk]

until that late call I was counting more 50/50 calls in Indy's favor tbh. I think IOWA got the short end on calls more often than not.

 

[Sett1997]

That's a pretty creepy visual of my statement. I will never say it again in my life. Lol

 

[slipHawk]

and jbo did hit an unbelievable shot... banker haha.

Oh I agree. Those 2 earlier shots were dead on clutch shots. The last one took some good fortune for the win.

 

[Sett1997]

Certainly not the first time he's hit an unbelievable shot.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

We do the same thing. Look at the game thread. Human nature and I wouldn't read too much into it.

 

[Dvs9021]

Lol I get crucified for saying the last shot was luck on the other thread... it was a lucky shot and it shouldn't be that hard to comprehend. The first 3 shots by Jbo and Keegans were clutch as hell. We definitely could have gotten a better ending shot. Glad it went in, lucky it went in.

I'm guessing you don't know why the kid is crying in that gif.

 

[BC Hawk]

I was over there and they seemed fine to me. No different than Iowa fans when we lose.

 

[unoHawkeye]

You create your own luck. Jordan and Iowa put themselves in position to win by battling while down late and making some huge buckets on previous possessions

Looses?

 

[brownd7949hawks]

Has jbo single handily shot daggers at a team as many times as he has Indiana in his career?

 

[TheCainer]

I hear they are going to rename the arena Banker's Fieldhouse...

I'll see myself out.

I don't.
I don't watch that show. Fill me in.

 

[red/green hawk]

Why are straight on banked 3 pt shots considered lucky? It's easier than swishing it IMO. Especially a high archer. It's a larger probability of going in if banked. That's not luck. That's science.

 

[red/green hawk]

I don't.
I don't watch that show. Fill me in.

Well Scott Tenorman fed Cartman some chili that had some pubes in it. For revenge Cartman killed Scott's parents, ground them up in a bowl of chili and fed it to him unsuspectingly. All to make him cry in front of his favorite band of all time Radiohead so that they pretty much called him a pussy. Basically what the OP was about.

Edit" Scott sold a ziplock bag of pubes to Cartman because Cartman wanted to be the first to hit puberty in his group of friends and thought purchasing a bag of pubes would accomplish this. When he finds out he was tricked he demands his money back and Scott burns it.

And your Mom is loose. Especially after an Iowa W!!!

 

[Nurman]

It was luck but you have to have that this time of year if you wanna advance.

 

[CookyMonster]

They went from borderline suicidal to cocky elitists after two wins. They are insufferable with a good team.

Or even when we win

I'm just not buying it, guy is clutch, all time Big leader in threes. Luck because of the bank? What if it dinged the rim, rolled around and went in. Would that be considered luck too?
The backboard is there for a reason, to bank off of. Layups, 4-8 foot banks from an angle, etc.
I'm sure he would have preferred a swish but people do runners all the time that hit the rim and go off the glass. It's part of the game.

[nu2u]

Lucky shot? Luc Laketa hit a shot from further out at the buzzer at the end of the Northwestern game ..... and he banked it in !! Iowa is 2/2 in banked-in 30 footers in this tournament. That's skill, you don't get lucky twice!

Listen, it was a great moment. But he missed where he was aiming by two feet and it went in. That is luck.

This is a stone cold clutch shot:

 

[Dvs9021]

Less than probably 3 percent of 3 pointers made are banked in I'm guessing. Why don't shooters use the bank on long shots and free throws? It was a lucky shot. Keegan and Jbo other 3's were skill and clutch.

That fits my theory if a team gets an unintentional banked 3pt shot, they win. NW win was already won, but karma was in iowas favor in Indy this year.

this bank makes up for Horner and Brunner team losing in last second to wisconsin on 3pt bank shot in BTT. Been waiting long time.

If he would have missed where he was aiming by 2 feet it wouldn't have went in. Shot was perfect just a little long.
My point again, if it's not a swish it's luck? So runners that roll around, jumpers that kiss the rim and bounce of the backboard and go in are all luck?
Maybe so.

People hit banks all the time, they just don't call them luck unless it's a game winner as time expires.

Banks are usually lay ups... prove me wrong.

Yeah but didn't it take some skill to get within 2 feet of the basket from that far out? 😁

Easy, many players shoot off the glass from an angle on jumpers. My point is if it's luck, then every shot that goes in except a swish is luck?
People get the roll all the time, they have a name for it. It's called touch.
Anyway, I get what you are saying. His shot was no different than a floater that rolls around the rim and goes in. No one calls that luck if it's a game winner. What's the difference?
