Just going to enjoy it the win.  We haven't had many against Wisky in the past decade.  Certainly enjoy any game where Brad Davison plays that bad.

As much as I don't like the love Happ gets from refs, he's been a hell of  a player.  

Respect what Happ has done with a limited skill set.  Not sure it translates well to the next level.

When the clock was stopped at 0.7 I started having flashbacks to the Charlotte game in '04 when DJ White scored and then our clock operator fell asleep on the final play.

One thing I’ll say about Archie. I know we lost against Rutgers in the BIG tourney last year. I know we lost against Purdue and Iowa in our last 3. But we are playing our best ball again at the end of the year. You give Archie all of his guys and I believe we don’t miss the tourney again for the foreseeable future.

It would take winning out, and getting to championship game of the BTT to even get a look.  Race Thompson in the mix, Deron getting more minutes, Heck, Smith didn't play too badly tonight, who knows.  Play hungry.  Green, meh.  Hoosiers may have their full complement of players for the first time to wind down the season, sans Hunter. 

Nah 2 wins gets us a look. 19-15 with tons of good wins and no bad losses

You mean Zion, Barrett, Reddish and Jones together for three more years? LOL.

They could win a NBA conference title their senior year and Coach K would be granted sainthood.

Great small moment. 1st OT. Brad Davison catches a pass on the right wing in a scramble situation. Race has to close out about 10 ft to get to the shooter. If it’s Davis, he doesn’t get there and Davison’s got an open 3. It it’s Smith or Juwan they probably close out of control, Davison puts a little shot fake on them and gets to the rim for an easy finish. Race closes hard and urgently, but perfectly under control. Hand up, feet under him. Takes away the shot and gives him no angle to attack. Perfect defensive play. Race was so good tonight.

My college coach would have said, “That boy’s been taking notes.”

Smaller than Davis but decent hops and timing. Teach that young man some post moves to go along with that toughness and Race is going to be a good one for us. Had a pivotal game for us.

I really like Race. For a guy thrust into action, he’s in the right place and making the right play A LOT, even if he isn’t stuffing the stat sheet. We need more guys like that.

Wiscy called a timeout correct...?? If so, how was the inbound player allowed to run the baseline throwing it in bounds?

I also have liked what I have seen from him.  Jakes and Moore’s limiited minutes just got even more limited. From a physical and “knowing where to be” standpoint I think he is way ahead of both.

Wondering...  A couple of weeks ago, a few guys were killing me for saying we didn't "need" DeVonte Green.  Are those thoughts still there?   Guy played just 11 minutes; and STILL managed to give away 4 possessions and almost single handedly cost Indiana the game with those, and a completely boneheaded defensive play.

That's legal as long as it's following a made basket or free throw.

 

What I didn't understand was why the game was stopped when they didn't call a timeout. They took a timeout AFTER play had been stopped. Langford scores, and the officials immediately start blowing their whistles and waving their arms like they're reffing a football game. It was weird.

 His step-back airball three that landed him on the bench for an extended time was his best play of the night LOL. That was a minor win.

I would think by now Archie has seen enough.   It took a while; but I truly hope people can see what that guy is.  Hell, we were up 13 when he came into the game, quickly up just 7 when he left, and we lost momentum almost immediately.   He just needs to go away.

True. Would feel a lot better if our guards could be more careful and not foul out
