Totally agree, Marlin and Howard don't even think about, thinking about, shooting the ball.  Now, I know people are critical of Williams and Hollowell but I like their length and rebounding ability.  Ethrington is last year's Sheehey, no more.

    That would do it.

That goal tend at the end of the game........did he touch that ball?

I think I remember you claiming in the NEB post game thread that IU has an undefeated record while you are in attendance.  Great job again today IU HOOSIER41.  Available for road games?:))

I can't say I noticed that but it doesn't surprise me.  JH really looks unhappy.  Highly noticeable.  I think they both stay though given the opportunities avail next year.

I hope now the lineup issues have been solved.  I think the Assembly hall crowd had a hand in halting the hockey line changes.  I'm gonna say CTC out coached CJB today.  I saw one thing today I haven't heard anyone bring up, so I'm gonna throw this out there and see what happens........MU played little or none of the 2-3 zone defense.  I think that was a huge mistake on their part.  Will IU see many man up situations at Minn or Iowa?  I also noticed Vonleh on the perimeter quite a lot.  I like that move drawing the d out like how Wiski uses Kaminski.  Could that have been by design knowing our zone struggles?

Such a great game!  I couldn't get on the game thread for the life of me and I don't care.  That was a huge effort defensively.  Feels so good after NEB.  Yogi was unstoppable at both ends and what else can you say about Noah in the final minutes.  Had our best players on the floor and they went for the jugular!  That's IU basketball!

Totally crazy team.  After the Wisconsin game (thank you for that by the way) I thought the fellas had finally become the team I knew was in there.  Maybe my expectations were inflated, but I figured If we just win the ones we are supposed to, and lose the ones we are supposed to, then we're sitting pretty come March, RPI be damned.  Now I wonder if NW, ILL, and NB were supposed to be wins?  I hate doing it but I'm sitting here thinking about what could have and should have been.  Now, instead of playing solidly in 3rd and contending, we have to beat MU to preserve a shot at the NIT.  Which I'm sure they will do in an effort to further confuse me.

This loss devastates me.  I was born, raised and live in Madison, Wi.  I have been a Huge Indiana fan for over 30 years.  This game was so huge for me.  With overrated Wisconsin and unexplainable Ohio St. Losing this week, we missed an enormous opportunity to clog the top half of the conference.  You have no idea how much crap I'm going to take over this.  I will not stop defending my Hoosiers but it's getting damn hard guys.  Did that 2nd half just happen?  What the heck were those lineups with under 5 min? Why all the standing at half court with the ball, staring at the clock running with 2 min? Geez man!  Was the 2-3 zone just invented today? Looked like we had never seen it before.  Personally think IU will beat Michigan and now it won't mean a thing.  Please tell me we have a better team than this.  What's going on?

I know IU is trying to prove that a 2-3 can be beaten by staring at it from 35 feet away.  Myself, not so much.
