I could see Race wanting to be the man next year. He's paid his dues.

why do so many assume race is leaving after this year?

Just think of the biggest rage-o-holic IU fan you know. Now think of the insane psychopathic rage that guy is feeling right now. Feels better now doesn't it?

I wish Victor Oladipo still played for the Indiana Pacers so he could come back to IU and work with Jordan Geronimo firsthand in private lessons, and show Jordan everything Victor did to become who he was and is, when all of the scouting services had Victor pegged to be an ordinary college basketball player at best. I have seen and we all have seen Victor posterize Lebron repeatedly in the NBA Playoffs. Wouldn't we all love to see Jordan Geronimo become that level of basketball player? Jordan has that level of possibility, and Jordan is immersed in a higher level of teaching and coaching than Victor had available to him when Victor Oladipo was stomping the earth wearing the IU jersey. I like that we have Woodson directing now, because Mike Woodson can really mentor our young student athletes from the perspective of a man who just simply dominated Big Ten basketball almost ridiculously when he played for IU. He did that with amazing athleticism, talent, knowledge and respect for the game, and a will to just overpower using all of those tools to get the win, once, twice, three times, play after play.

Wiscy is waaaaay to shocked when they get called for honest fouls.

hand claps for Durr.

our young guys look like they might be learning a little and coming along. in the recent past IU would have relied on our young guys to carry the burden. this is much better, teaching them how to do it, letting them play, and watching them develop.

Durr seems to like this kind of basketball. that's a good sign.

I feel bad for you. good thing you have the vr

Wisconsin looks really exhausted. we need to take advantage.

I will, but I was only replying back to his quotes. that's not trolling, for the record.

but you still must be able to say something purely positive, not tainted by negativity, based on what you are reading. go on. try it. it feels good.

even that sounds more negative than positive. can you see that?

ok go ahead and say something really positive now about what you are seeing tonight. go ahead. you can do it.

Andy Katz seems really depressed tonight too.

you're the one who announced you can't post tonight when Indiana is showing.

bardos gotta go.

ok so you really are here. just not posting tonight. gotcha.

you can't watch when Indiana is stomping the sh@t out of a team on the road? sounds about right.

nice start today

Happiest with all of the new additions, a really good staff all the way around, and players who seem able to compete. Unhappiest with turnovers. I can't believe IU basketball still has serious problems with turnovers.

Maybe what I miss most about Galloway sitting on the bench is his knowledge and communication and leadership in getting the other underclassmen in the right position like a coach while he is on the floor. Not having him there coordinating could possibly be a contributing factor in reasons why the newer guys on the bench have produced poorly the past two games. Not sure about that, but I could see that being a contributing factor. Maybe he could become more vocally involved from the bench helping some of the younger guys with positioning, awareness, and situational mindset when they are on the floor in the weeks/month(s) he is stuck on the bench waiting for his arm to heal. It is harder to contribute like that from the bench than it is to contribute like that on the floor, but it is possible. He can be so valuable in that way. His communication with everybody on the team on the floor including our top dogs actually has been really good, and has helped a lot even though no box score has a stat line that scores communication on the floor.

TO's @ an unbelievably bad rate, but we destroyed them on the glass, so we really should have won this game in the end. We had our chances, over and over again. I hope our young guys who got to play significant points in the game b/c of foul trouble/injuries are able to learn BIG TIME how to win. The rest of the way out it's gong to be balls out/helter skelter like tonight until our young talented players of the future can add a lot more to the effort than they take away from the common goal.

love that syracuse went to the run out the clock then desperation shot at the end of the shot clock offense befo9re the end of regulation to get iu back in the game. I hate that terrible offense

no. lol
