  NW at home took OT to get the win.  I believe PSU took them down to the last minute.  It took Melo a long 3 to win against Wiscy.  I would take that win at Wiscy any day of the week though.  I think they blew out O$U and Rutgers though.

Held NW to .86 ppp while getting 1.35 ppp.  We moved up to second in AdjO in conference and back to first in AdjD in conference. 

Iowa IU Maryland Michigan   Iowa Maryland IU pu   I still don't think Maryland is a great team but they find a way to squeak it out against bad to decent teams.  Michigan has been playing good ball and that road win at Nebraska was big for them. 

This would be a really big road win for Michigan the way Nebrasketball has been playing. 

  Not to be too negative but Troy is also a bad defender.  You have both of those guys on the floor at the same time it becomes a difficult to cover for them.  I've gone back and watched several of the B1G games and Troy sticks out now more than ever on the defensive end.  He has so much potential on defense but he has no clue about positioning or team defense.    We've been much better on defense in the B1G but if Troy comes along we have another level or two we can take on that end when Troy gets it together. 

Big Boy has to be a lock right?  I mean he's posing for pictures in Indiana colors.    Edit:  It appears he likes to have his name on his jersey though.  Any inside information on his recruitment pap?

You can only play the teams on your schedule.  Nothing we can do about not playing the top half of the B1G.  With that said, we've been playing same great ball and especially at home where we've beaten our last three opponents by an average of over 30 points.   We were a bit sloppy in the first half but shared the ball well and knocked down shots.  Our defense was good again.  Keep it rolling boys!!

It's game day bizzznitches!!   HOO HOO HOO

IU - 77 Other - 69

I echo those who say they need to figure this out behind closed doors.  Dragging out dirty laundry for everyone to hear isn't the best way to go about it.    Dakich, Guyton, and Bill Walton with a pound of Maui Wowie could have this settled in a matter of hours.

Our conference AdjD is a little skewed because of our opponents.  5 of our 6 opponents are in the bottom half of the conference in AdjO.  I'm just guessing but that probably has more to do with their offense than our defense.  Our defense has improved a ton in conference play but I'll start believing our defense has the chance to be tourney worthy when we face teams like Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, pu, and Maryland.  Nebrasketball is current #3 in conference AdjO and we held them to .97 ppp.

This is a great game but there have been some horrible calls both ways.  This isn't the same O$U team that played in Btown or College Park.

  It's so tough to judge how good a victory is, especially this year with so much parity and up and down play.  O$U won on the road at Northwestern before we gave them a beat down in the Hall.  They then followed that up with another poor performance at Maryland.  They're now playing better against pu.  Nebrasketball really struggled to start B1G play before finding their way recently.  Wiscy is also playing a bit better in the last few.  The injuries, road vs. home, and just a 18-22 year old young men all factor into how a team can play one game to the next.    Edit:  matchups can be a huge factor as well.  A team we might matchup terrible with could be a better matchup with a team lower in the B1G rankings and vice versa.

Looking back at this game and the new record for 3s, there are a few thins that stand out.   -  17 of 19 were assisted on, 2 of Yogi's were off the dribble -  5 players hit multiple 3s in a row (Troy, RoJo, Yogi, Max, Z3)

Haha, if it were only that easy..

  We actually dropped a spot after to #2 behind Maryland but our offense jumped up to #4 in the conference.

According to KenPom our AdjD, in conference play only, we are at 93.4 which would be good for #18.  Our AdjO is 113.3, good for #26.

vs. MSU, @MSU and @pu?  I'll take all of those wins over any of our wins...

Surprised it took so long to T Prince up.

Heck of a win!!

Man hope Costello bounces bank from that.  I actually reached for my ankle when I saw the replay.  That was nasty!

Just noticed Troy had 5 assists and 0, that's 0, turnovers.  Wow!! RoJo at 6 to 2 and Yogi was 9 to 3.  If we value and share the ball like that...

  Crean is beating bottom feeder B1G teams on the road and blowing out bottom half B1G teams?  Yes, I agree that should be an Indiana thing.

Prayers brother. When one door shuts another one opens. Pray on it and I'm certain you will be led in the right direction.
