TJD is putting up numbers we haven’t seen from a player in…decades. Case in point…tonight’s performance made him the First player with 25 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks in a game since Hasheem Thabeet in 2009. Really wild what he is doing right now.

I missed it. What did he say?

Just win baby… But that was ugly. I’d say let Kenya handle coaching if Woody is out from now on…

Race has given nothing out there this half. I love him, but that’s just a fact. Malik led scorers in the first half and they didn’t have an answer for him. What the hell are we doing.

Why has Reneau not played at all the second half?!?!? That is mind boggling.

So then without a doubt they will put up 80 and the walk on at the end of the bench will drop 20. WAIT! Putting that curse to bed....Minnesnowta will only score 34 points tonight!

Indiana 81 Minnesnowta - 68

Seems like Timme has been there forever… But Race has been at IU long enough for me to have two more kids, buy and sell 3 houses and two different corporate moves. Crazy to actually type that out haha.

Free throws…can’t yell it loud enough. FREE THROWS! Man it makes me happy to see that stat line.

Win on Sunday baby...just win. I'm fine staying out of the top 25 and making the tourney...I like the unranked version of us that we are currently seeing ha-ha. But, if we keep playing at this intensity and clip, we will find ourselves back in there.

That’s a really, really good win…

Just an odd thing for a current assistant coach at the program to post... Would he condone a current player doing that and then getting toasted all night? Weird attempted flex...

My first thought as well. Author caveated that with this: "In the past five years, there have been 32 head coaching jobs open in Power 5 conferences. Only three of those were filled by a sitting Power 5 head coach. And each of those three constituted something of an extraordinary circumstance: Mike White left Florida for Georgia as his job with the Gators became less secure; Beard left Texas Tech for Texas, his alma mater; Buzz Williams left Virginia Tech for Texas A&M, where he worked as an assistant coach and earned a Master’s degree (and which could afford to nearly double his salary)."

When things go bad....fire the ASSOCIATE Head Coach. It's all his fault haha.

I have been on the Play Banks train....but last game his body language kind of worried me as well. He made a couple mistakes, including closing out late and getting a three splashed on him, and his body language immediately went negative. As someone who came off the bench, typically during blowouts...I understand it is hard and the negativity of the game and other teammates can rub off. But this is your chance to bust your @$$ and show why you should get minutes, regardless of score or circumstance. That said...I still want him to get more minutes. I'd rather force him into difficult situations he can learn from for next year, than watch the same old sulking head down woe is me attitude a lot of the guys are displaying.

Not trying to pile on, just making an honest observation….Kopp has extremely slow feet. I can think of four times at least last night where he was beat off the dribble badly, and could not recover, which seems to be a theme game to game. One of those times he was beat so bad the guy was shooting the layup, and he was still standing halfway between the three point line, where the guy originally started, and the basket. Additionally, he tends to over help and several times last night called for a switch that wasn’t needed / didn’t happen, and that left him scrambling back to his guy behind the three point line trying to contest. This entire team has struggled to switch, with miscommunications galore. It also puts several guys in bad positions to defend outside of their scope, including Kopp. I feel like if you are going switch everything on the defensive end, you have to have a roster for that. Which we don’t IMO.

My fears are coming true… They are making it rain.

It’s clicking for Geronimo today….letting the offensive side come to him, busting his butt on defense and being active. Keeping it simple, and it’s paying off so far.

Geronimo is working his butt off…

She purchased a "Tushy" bidet for Christmas. Installation is on my to day list.

I needed this laugh today...been remote for 8+ years, but I can remember the days off office TP.

My wife buys the recycled environmentally conscious brand. I don't enjoy it in my bathroom, but would love for our team to reflect it's characteristics on the floor. May not be pretty or flashy...but tough and rough from top to bottom, stays together start to finish and always gets the job done.

Just saw where PSU is getting 43% of their points beyond the arc....seems like that could spell trouble for us tonight given our recent defensive struggles. I have not watched much of PSU, but I assume they reflect their Coach and play tough, hardnosed basketball.

Reading this as I currently listen to the Bluey intro song playing downstairs for my middle kid home with pink eye (gross). Speaking of that....what do IUBB and and pink eye have in common...oh never mind.
