Walking Boot of Doom

I really don’t get your schtick. I also think that Painter is a very good coach, but like Crean, would not last as long as he has at Indiana. I’m also not sure if that’s an indictment of Painter or Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Meh. Idk. He’s been doing that what if stuff for a while now. So maybe? It’s certainly not a bad thing because Brooks obviously doesn’t mind and I doubt he’d be hinting at it if IU weren’t a serious possibility. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yes, we better show up ready to play every game. However, that wasn't my point. I am confident Illinois will be ready to play. So regardless, I expect it to be a tough game.

@Illinois is the worst. This is their title game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

When it’s not a great season, I’ll watch some of the bigger games but avoid watching trap games like Rutgers. All risk no reward to those. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

To be fair, Utah State had a rope and individuals between the players handshake line and fans. Not sure what happened to set off Nevada, but you can hear the coaches yelling about the Utah assistants saying something. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

NOOOOOO If you stepped away, and we’re winning, it’s going to need to stay that way. If you haven’t, please finish burning your tickets. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Calipari ripped Herro a new one on TV during the game. There are a million explanations for that tweet. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That was an amazing game. Plenty of things we can point to that could have been better, but this team has fought two games in a row now to beat ranked opponents, including the #6 team in the country. Unreal. What a comeback for Archie and the boys. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This was painful to read.

And they all seem to be wasted on us...

Those seats are dope as hell.

Why not? Thanks to Dakich’s suggestions, RMK made this the Hall of Calls! No reason we can’t win in a rigged game at home when we beat them in East Lansing. [emoji854] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think our resident expert and other bracketologists will continue to disagree with you on this point. And regardless of what the considerations are supposed to be, if we go on a run to end the season with previously injured personnel playing bigger minutes, you know every committee member will look at the current roster as a different team.

Agreed on letting him take it after a bucket and control the entire possession. I haven’t loved our plays built for him after a time out. I’m so glad he finally just took it to his guy and went to the hoop instead of pulling up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Recruiting is a long term game when done correctly. Gotta keep our eyes on the prize.

Yeah it has all the details and twists and behind the scenes storyline to be true as long as you don't apply optimistic bias and think we're about to land them all. Very interesting.

If that's all true, holy poop.

By the way, you're a sick and twisted individual for starting this thread. You know Indiana fans only need the slightest reason to raise their expectations through the eroding roof of Assembly Hall.

Dakich is the king of bashing Indiana players... I also have only read legitimate game based evidence criticism of players in this thread. Green insensibly went for a flashy game winning block and fouled Trice allowing him to tie the game at the line. Smith made a lot of lazy or thoughtless mishaps as well. Even CAM is taking legitimate flak in this thread. However, there is plenty of praise and celebration of the good decisions and play by all. I think this is pretty balanced conversation, so no need for you to focus purely on the negative.

Finally, can someone explain to me what the hell CAM was trying to do to close out OT? We had 2.2 seconds, needed to inbound to a shooter, and had Deron nearest the ball with RP in bounding and Romeo running as far from the ball as possible. What was the intention there?

Also, for the what has Bruiser done for me lately crowd, he was the one who got the refs to review the deflected shot by Romeo that went OB originally called Wisconsin ball, reviewed and properly given to the Hoosiers. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Smith had a nice game, but I saw him over play or fail to close passing lanes on at least three doubles that resulted in his man getting to the rim with ease. It’s been pretty consistent all year - Smith getting lost on defense in doubles or screens, in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
