I believe it's top 20 defense but most of the offenses have been great too.    With our matador defense to begin the season it will be extremely difficult to get in the top 20 adjD.  I'm not saying it's impossible but improbable.  We're currently at #52 in adjD at 96.8 and #20 is around 93.9.  We just gave up 97.0 to a bad Illinois offense.  Again, it's possible but will be an uphill battle.

  No, still sitting at #55 overall.  Our adjO moved up 4 spots to #21 overall though.

We scored 1.45 PPP and gave up .97.  The .97 given up to Ilinois ties Nebrasketball for most we've given up to an opponent in B1G games this season. 

OT Northwestern needed to win that in regulation.  I feel Maryland dominating them in OT.

48 all, neither team wants to win this game

Congrats Yogi.  I've been on you about your leadership for awhile but you're turning everything around your final season in Btown.  Keep pushing yourself and this team to bigger and better things.

  29-33 Maryland with 17ish minutes left in 2nd half.

  27 assists on 37 made baskets and only 11 turnovers, several of those in the last 4 minutes.

  And yet certain teams will lose winnable games down the stretch in the Big 12 to give KU another regular season title.

Beat Illinois down so much they just curled up and quit.  We took care of the ball and moved it well tonight.  Our defense was solid again.  If we keep playing like this at home...

  HOOSIERS!!!

HOO HOO HOO..

1) What finish do you actually project?   Regular season 23-8 (13-5), one win in the BTT   2) What finish do YOU need to give Crean another year, with some degree of reality if possible?   No record would exist for ME to bring him back   3) What finish do you think Glass will bring Crean back at?   20-11 (10-8)   NCAA finish:   1) Rd 32 exit   2) None, Final Four would get me thinking though   3)  Making the NCAAT     And what realistic recruiting class gives him another year and changes (2)? Recruiting class: Markus Howard, Devonte Green, Curtis Jones, De'Ron Davis   I believe if the right players return we could have the mix of guards, wings, and bigs, as well as a solid mix of upperclassmen and newcomers to compete for the B1G title and a Final Four.  I don't believe we would have the coach capable of getting them there.   As you can see, I'm ready for the next chapter of IU basketball.  I would go all in for Coach Brad Stevens.  If he turned down the offer I would go to the next tier of coaches.  I believe Crean has started or will soon start doing more damage than good.  There will be speculation around the program until Crean puts together multiple good/above expectations years or a coaching change is made.  

  Bonus point:  MSB with a three in the last minute

      That's a beautiful drive through Brown County and Hoosier National Forest.   You should definitely spend as much time as you have available going through Cook and Assembly Hall just taking it all in.  I still get chills walking into Assembly Hall.  Also, you can never have too many photos of both.   The baggie full of alcohol only works with some alcohol.  I had to chug a few baggies of booze after they began to leak in my cargo pockets.  The first half of that football game was rough.

Prayers sent up Natty

IU - 79 Others - 71

Cool video with some really good camera angles and development.  This would be a cool video for all outgoing seniors. 

  That's encouraging to know.  If CuJo and DG can transition to the college game quickly we could have a deep and talented guards corps next season.

  It seems like he is always putting up 20ish points.  Are they playing terrible teams?  Are teams focusing on his teammates allowing him to go off?

  Never stepped foot inside any of them.  We weren't supposed to stop but how can you pass up the opportunity for those pictures.  Something about government vehicles parked outside a whorehouse... 

Several players on this ISU team playing well that IU recruited.   Jameel McKay Matt Thomas Monte Morris

Coach K meanders through the handshake line, shaking a few players hands and skipping the last half.  He went straight to the end and gave the stare of death to the refs leaving. 

  It's a college party town...
