    Sorry, but Beilein is the coach of the year so far.

      I couldn't stomach the first one considering how fast we try and get up a shot.

      This is how we lost here 2 years ago when we had a big lead in the 2nd half as well.

    Tom is enjoying this?

      Hey man, we had an out of bounds play going to the rim.  Anything is possible in this game.

    Anyone know the odds for the SB off the top of their head?  I figure it will be something like (-170) for Seattle and like (+130) for Denver.

    That isn't a TO.  He was just flipping off a ref.

    We need to go at Petteway.

    Well, this is the IU team I remember.

    Colin must have had a lights out day in practice in the last month.

      He does every game.  They made a big deal about it last year when they were on.

    Sweet, we needed a phantom call too.

    Offensively I feel like we are doing the right things.  We need to tighten up defensively and we are fine.  Phantom calls are hurting, but we need to be in better position.

    Timeout?  No, that is the tv timeout.

    That was a horrendous call.  Noah completely avoided contact.

    Holy shit, an out of bounds play too?  I can't take much more of this night.

    This dude will never do anything at Nebraska since its Nebraska.  But, I like this coach.  He gets his kids excited and gets them to play hard.

    Yeah, we make the tournament if we play complete games similar to that first half.

      Don't think it is just him.  Watford wasn't the strongest either.  I will take Will over Watford at that end.  We have 4 legit lockdown defenders if they move their feet.  When they have done that this year, teams don't score against us at will.  Last year if we didn't shoot 50% we lost.  This year, we can't get to 50%.

    Troy needs to learn he had a shot.  If he wanted he could go off glass.

    Need to finish this half strong.  Foot on throat.

    Right now our RPI is 67.  Our SOS is 51.  I think RPI is sometimes a bad example when comparing 2 programs late in the season exclusively.  There are more factors than just RPI.  In the instance of seeing where you are compared to a group of schools it is helpful.  67 would put us just outside of the bubble.  You will have schools who are the best in their conference who aren't that high based on SOS.  At-large bid is how we would have to get in.  We would be fighting with probably 30 schools for 12-15 spots.  At this point in the year you always hear how it is best to finish strong.  We have a schedule that allows us to do that while picking up quality wins.  I don't want to confuse us with a school who is a top 9 seed.  We aren't that.  We would at best be a 11, 12, or 13, based on our quality wins and SOS by the end of the year.  Typically IU is in the top 20 in SOS.  We won't get there by the end of the year.  That is why it is crucial, imo, to get at least one more quality win after Wisconsin has struggled and finish strong.  That will allow us to make it.  We have a name, which helps.  If you put 2 equal teams up against each other, the one with the name will always get in.  Better ratings.  I guess that is my more in depth reasoning for what I said earlier in regards to the Wisconsin win.

    Its is still a big win don't get me wrong.  I think a UM win on top of that will look good enough with 19 wins to get in.  If we can hover .500 in the B1G, and have wins against UM and Wisconsin, it would be hard to not let us in.  We also played MSU tough at MSU.  I think 19 is doable if we win both this week.  Iowa would be a huge win as well.  I just think we play better for some reason against Michigan than Iowa in the past.  Both have superior talent to us this year.  If we were to get to 20 this year, I would think it is academic of us getting in.  That would probably take a win in the tournament.

    I doubt them EB, but not at home.  They just bring it at that place.
