I have a nice sun dial in my backyard. Changing it twice a year is a major pain in the ...

We had 21 assists, they had 20 made FGs.
Held them to 33% shooting and 28% from range.
I'll take numbers like that all day long.

Say what you want about Johnson but don’t say he doesn’t care about being a Hoosier. Nice article about Johnson

These dilly dilly commercials are so dumb, especially that one.  If you're going to risk your life for a beer, it'd better be better than Bud Lite.

That should be sent to recruits honestly.

No way to really understand this until you experience it.  I would bet he's got the full appreciation now; and he can begin a new approach to recruiting and "sell" of his program.  There's just no way to do that until you truly know...and now, he does. 
Indiana had to play a perfect last 10 minutes to win that game; and simply couldn't.  The first 30 minutes were very predictable.  Nobody's coming into Assembly Hall and blowing Indiana out anymore.  But you can't turn it over, miss free throws, and reach on defense time after time and have any chance to beat that Duke team.  
Indiana battled.  We are so much better than we were 3 weeks ago it's scary.  Lots to build on, and I'm disappointed we didn't give ourselves a chance down the stretch.   I hope a few 16-18 year old kids were watching.  Indiana is in good hands.

Good night BTowners! If we play with this same intensity in the future—we will be fine! Improvement from the beginning of the season to now has been dramatic. I grew up in the Knight era and I like what I am seeing from Coach. Solid D and a real half court offense are taking shape. I am really enjoying watching their development. Beat Michigan!

This team is just going to get better and better as each game goes by. The team that played ISU is a completely different team than we are now and the team we are going to be in February is going to be completely different from who we are now. I am so excited for the rest of this year.

A bunch of 3* kids take a bunch of 5* kids to the wire.  Team getting better each week.  We hit a home run with Archie Miller.   

I don’t feel like I usually do after losses. Proud of our guys 

Great freaking game by IU.. we fell short but played way better than I thought we would have. So pleased. Johnson did a hell of a job on Allen. He's annoying but dide can hit very difficult shots. And Davis is a fn animal down low. We are gonna be okay kids!!

That was a fun ride and reminded me of how much I love IU basketball

We are a well coached basketball team.

Save your "no moral victories" talk. This game means sooooooooooo much. This team is good. This team is buying in. Hoosier Nation is going to love this team.

Best 40 minutes they've played in a long time.

They played their butts off tonight. A lot of people here like to rip on RoJo and Newkirk, and at times, I agree. No way is RoJo "checked out." He's scoring off the dribble more, just needs to find that stroke from long range. His defense has been pretty well this year as well. 
 
Take the L, grow from it, and for God's sake, HIT FREE THROWS!

Beautiful basketball man on the offensive end. I could cry.

Al didn’t have any turnovers on the stat sheet but he should have had a couple. He made some silly plays that were saved by the ball bouncing off an opponent. Not his best game but he will be fine.
Newkirk’s night was awesome. More of that please. 

Continued improvement on D and O—check.️
Only 8 turnovers—check.️
Hartman back and contributing—check.️
Better three point shooting (12/21)—check.️

Thank you Santa!

Glad Juwan and RoJo had a good game tonight.  We need them to play big to help the freshmen.

You have to start Al over newkirk from now on..he’s so much better as a FRESHMAN.

great defense right now
