Ya know, I thought we had more than 9 too. It just felt like more.

ESPN says 9 TO's. If so, the under 12 looks possible, just gotta be nearly perfect the rest of the way.

hanging on the rim

Ouch we turned the ball over twice on that one.

I agree. I always liked him and like Painter as well. Just keeping the schadenfreude alive.

Maybe I'll try that drink a couple of guys recommended. Mmmm, should I? Thanksgiving Eve tomorrow. Maybe get a tiny little bit of practice in before the Thanksgiving Eve drinks.

We want a Purdue guy wearing Invisalign to call our games instead of Bardo.

Exactly. We hate Bardo so bad now we want a Purdue guy to call our games instead!

Please shut up, Bardo.

We have a press.

Thanks for the suggestion Hoosier Grrrl.

Hoosiers running pretty good after all the practice lol. Nice.

I like that our guys recognize the changing defense and make the proper adjustment, this time to Race at the point forward spot to Jackson Davis for the quick assist and score.

oops gonna change that now. sheesh. and I can't find a Family Guy creeping backwards slowly meme to clean it up with a laugh. oh well gonna have to eat this one.

Every time I see Trey Galloway now I think of what Stephen Bardo said when Galloway got yanked to the ground on that F2 and I so wish that was not the case. Dang, man. Not cool lol. It's like a bad song that gets stuck in your head like that "I'm beggin'" song. Sorry guys. I had to do that to you. Who did that guy blow to get all the airplay anyway?

Ah I see. Thanks. Not sure how I did not know that. Bardo should recuse himself from broadcasting IU games if he can't stop repeatedly making IU fans hate the BTN when he covers IU sports for the network. I'm sure Bardo was asked if he could spread the love for teams he hates in the B1G when he interviewed for the job, and I know the network reinforces the mission to grow the network base to him and all the other broadcasters and reporters in the organization. He is getting a lot worse.

I had really high expectations for Phinisee when he came to IU, and I saw a guy capable of developing into a pg in IU's tradition of great pg's. He can still have a great year and build some great lifetime memories for himself and for his fans. Hopefully he has a year for the ages. He is such a likable guy. Also very high on Lander who really looked like he belongs on the floor at times against St Johns. That very tough growing year last year when he jumped from HS to the B1G a year early could yield the big benefits we all hope to see. Super psyched to watch this team grow this year.

You're probably not going to like my answer lol, but yes I intend to return some of Bardo's hate. He ruined meaningful parts of the game repeatedly for me and other IU fans last night and he did that deliberately. Sorry, man! Now I want to make up for a lot of times I wanted to complain about his mouthiness in the past but cut him some slack then. He really got under my skin with last night's performance. No excuse for that. Don't hate me for hating Bardo now. He earned it. He wants this.

Phinisee looked overmatched against the press whereas both X and Lander seemed capable of breaking it with reliable consistency in comparison.

Bardo in the past camouflaged his hate in broadcasts with frothy praise of some banal IU "good qualities" so the pure unconditional love for whoever IU's opponent was seemed sort of balanced. The cheering for St John's in these Gavitt Games, especially while St John's looked to me to be dominated nearly across the board last night, regardless of the final score, was simply inexcusable for a BTN announcer. I intend to complain to BTN about all future Bardo broadcasts whether I watch the games he does or not. After last night I now hate Bardo as much as he hates us.

Somebody help me please. I just now randomly saw an extremely short video clip of less than a second of L-Dunc that appears to show he may have traded his signature mullet in for a 90's alterna-bob. If my eyes are to be believed and this is true, I could not be much more disappointed at this time. Unless this means L-Dunc intends to sport a succession of outrageously annoying hairstyles during his IU career, and these two offerings, if true, are only the first two. Somebody please confirm. Say it isn't so. But if it is true, I hope his next hairstyle then will be that one with all of the hair on the head pushed forward from the back into a gelled piece in the front that sticks up like the curve of a question mark as if emphasizing the question "why?"

wow. thx for the generic afterthought izzy. buh-bye to you too.

I have never seen this sentence posted, heard it uttered, or imagined this thought in all my life, and do not expect to ever read this same sentence, hear these words uttered, or imagine the thought again in my life. For that reason, this is a momentous post. Bask in the moment.

loving this hire. why not mike woodson? why can mike woodson not be a very, very successful coach at IU, in the tradition of our best basketball coaches, giving Indiana fans the type of basketball we expect and deserve, and bringing in the type of highly rated talent we expect at IU, developing them, and sending them on to the NBA where they belong, in the meantime putting the traditional IU culture back in place? I also want very badly to see the circle offense back in place against the zone. not sure if that is going to happen. I want to see that again so bad. I'm good with this hire, very good with this hire.
