I'm almost certain it's a conference decision and not an NCAA decision in league play. They are getting exactly what they've designed the system to be. Hopefully we'll hear something about how the Big 1.o led the nation in attendance for the eleventy billionth time in a row soon.

NW made JHS toss a lob off the backboard? They guarded those FTs extremely well in the first half? They made Gallo throw that pass over Race's head when they weren't near him? They made TJD dribble off his leg when the defender was on the other side of him? (and then giggle about another TO, where have we seen that before..?) Life on the road in the Big 1.o is difficult, that much more when they're not at the bottom half of the league. You control what you can control (i.e. not tossing it all over the gym, hitting your free throws, making sure your opponent isn't WIDE OPEN) Paraphrasing here - you know you'll get open looks against Indiana because they have their weak side defender on the nail (this has been something we've done all season and it's bit us several times because our guards and small wings struggle to keep the better guards in the league in front of us.)

What games are we putting in which category? Rutger, Kansas, Penn State, Minny, majority of 3/4 halves against NW definitely come to mind as turd layers. Xavier, @Ill, and the majority of the purdoodoo games are playing out of our minds

Probably just the refs Lack of discipline on the bench looks like the lack of discipline chucking the ball around.

Almost makes you wonder if the athletic department got that mantra from the larger university...........

We can control turning the ball over (13 in this one), leaving shooters WIDE OPEN, giving e and e, c and c, i and i, and so on for the other 60-70 possessions. Keep focusing on the extremely small %, but about that, Trey did control getting in front of him (that's great!), much better than Kopp getting stuck in first gear, but didn't stop him. If we would have controlled what we could control for the majority of the game we win this going away, ditto for the game against NW in Assembly Hall. A couple out of 60+ ain't bad though

Much easier to ***** and complain about something out of the control of your team than the things your team can actually control. Like addressing the elephant in the room of all the e's, i's, c's, and such. We should probably get back to dogging other team's fans for blaming the refs, trying to find mystery reasons for techs or getting jobbed by techs and the like.

You control what you can control (or not in our case in the first half) We rolled over, again, in the first half. We did it in the first matchup with NW and several other road games. Luckily for us we were just more talented than the other teams.

Was taking it for a test spin just to see how it felt. It didn't seem like it cleaned up all the turds we left on the court in the first half.

We took the entire first half to make our bed. Good fight the second half but that will be our undoing in the tourney too.

fother mucking refs stole one from us!! **** the refs!! **** this conference! We played so well to win that game!! Refs and the conference stole it from us. Refs **** **** ****

That's still not a winning formula Hell of a fight from this group

A lots of really bad/dumb TOs

Those halftime adjustments to get TJD moving around have really worked. Big props for that

We would benefit from not throwing it all over the gym. Half of our TOs are from our starting front court.

Should have clarified with the Kopp exception

Kopp defending Buie is not a winning formula

We're due for some bad Buie shots to close out this game. Gotta make some FTs and put more pressure on them.

These refs are causing so many TOs. Definitely can't have them forcing TOs like this down the stretch and expect to win.

Unlucky and the refs fault

We could definitely take some dumb NW decisions down the stretch.

We're getting lucky with some of these WIDE OPEN looks we're giving them.

Game is definitely there for the taking. We're moving and hitting shots. No open 3s and no straight line drives.

Two threes in a row!! We're winning the Super Bowl!!!

Get the ball into the post and... stand! Really solid plan that worked extremely well in the first half.
