Romeo left the game with 63pts and to a standing ovation chanting IU! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don't think "alpha" is that big of an influence. Romeo's dad has repeatedly stated that this decision is in the best interest in Romeo.

I like how the sky is falling and IU is going to be a bottom dweller forever after a game that we were expected to lose![emoji849] I mean really people I don't think their is a coach is the world that could get this team to perform consistently! I for one am happy at the progress that Archie has made with the players that are still teachable! I mean think about how difficult it would be to take team that has never put any effort or had any accountability on defense and get them to where they are now. In the last 10 years have we EVER played defense, had a successful inbounds play, beat a zone defense, or executed any type of half court offense that didn't involve excessive dribbling or a shot clock violation or chucking a contested 3! I just can't see how people are not seeing any progress! We have a roster full of role players, followers, non D1 players, and JMo. Although I want them to win every time they take the court, this year I knew I had to come to reality and lower my expectations. I see us getting a NIT invite and potentially winning a game or a few games which is "better" than last year Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I know the NBA does but this is not the league and they still have classes. And most NBA teams have had about the same time off between games, today IU with 1 day OSU with 5. Plus a major majority of college players will never sniff the league. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So sick of these 1 day turn arounds. I knew they would be slow but geez! How on earth does the B1G admin think this is good for basketball and for the conference? And better yet who gives a flying you know what that there is a B1G tourney in NY? Not 95% of the conference fan base! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

77-72 OSU

This whole tournament in NY a week early is complete B.S. It has done nothing but screw with schedules and honestly hurt teams. Who wants to watch their team play completely gassed in the 1st half? This game tomorrow is not going to be easy with the mins that the starters logged against Purdouche, and a one game turn around. And surprising enough Ohio State is coming off 5 days off.

I'm not throwing everything at him, he did have a great game, but seniors are supposed to be the rock at the end of games and unfortunately ours didn't close out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Where did that come from, I got some pUKe fans that would enjoy that to pieces?

Yeah the attacks from some fans are becoming atrocious. I have been reading through twitter and such this morning and the comments are absolutely ridiculous and mostly uninformed. I mean one comment was "yeah the F is Green getting mins he's terrible much rather see Newkirk!" OMFG did you even watch the game? Not the reason that we lost but the officiating was terrible! Terry Oglesby was calling the game last night and he is one of the refs from the terrible UNC v Gonzaga championship game! Keith Kimble was apart of the debacle in the pUKe game where ref John Higgins got death threats. That's 2 of the 3 refs from last night that have a top google search of a controversial game and articles written about them in actual news agencies not a fly by night article. Seriously something needs to be done about these refs. If you remember a refs name or can google their name and find more than one article about them screwing up a game, there needs to be some sort of repercussion. The NCAA needs to devise some sort of system to keep accountability. There were soo many blown calls, no calls, and ghost calls last night. I watched the whole game but absolutely lost interest in the game when the refs took over.

Not that it really matters now but what happened to moving the ball, moving without the ball, and coming to help the player with the ball in trouble that we had in the 1st? Seriously Rojo has disappeared, no passing, dribbling, and standing around, wtf? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This is literally the worst officiating I have ever seen! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
