NOLA Hoosier

Would absolutely love for Arkansas to beat Auburn. IU would again beat pUKe by the transitive property.

110% agree. I think if Archie lands some kind of shooter, has TJD/Rome/Phin/Race/Brunk all firing and the new guys coming in...and STILL has the same issues, then it’s time for him to go. Next season there will be zero excuses by anybody, and everything will be laid out on the table. That’s why (again) I’m not fully in the “Fire Archie” camp just yet. Next year is the absolute last chance.

Honestly, Purdue losing to NW doesn’t do IU any favors. More nervous for this game than ever.

So it goes Ohio State, Purdue, IU, Nebraska, Northwestern in that order to round out the bottom 5.

I mean there was the preseason NIT. I think a B1G tournament before the conference is actually a good idea. Kinda pointless after a winner is declared in my book.

pUKe, Dook, Louisville, UNCheat, Kansas, M$U, P$U (sorry couldn’t think of clever wordplay for all of them) all deserve to be fired into the sun but nothing is going to happen, ever. And wait....Players from Northwestern? I read that right?

I’ve had anxiety attacks since I was 10 years old, and that was the early 90’s (My dad and grandma both had them along with depression, but of course no one diagnosed it back then). I think it’s more prevalent now because we understand it more as a legitimate illness, and it’s very treatable. I will say that I can’t imagine kids and social media and how that exacerbates preexisting conditions. The pressure must be enormous. OK back to basketball for me

You haven’t been to Hell unless you’ve climbed the Ballantine steps at 8 am while having an anxiety attack.

Really appreciate it! I’ve had it about 90% under control the last few years or so (especially once I stopped drinking), but it rears its ugly head every now and again. In high school my anxiety was so bad it started affecting me physically, and when I was in Bloomington I’d have trouble going to classes because of it. I’d take a knee injury or whatever that would heal with time over depression and anxiety any day!

I have mental health issues and it sucks. It’s literally a chemical imbalance in the brain, so it’s 100% physical and not something you can just get over. Even if you’re great at something and know deep down you are, serotonin and neurotransmitters and all that kinda stuff mess with you big time. Hope he gets better, it’s no joke.

I quit watching after Jordan retired. The late 80's-late 90's was such a fun, fun time for it.

Burn the memory of this game into your brains and remember that this was rock f'ing bottom. Hopefully they figure it out (which I though they had already did)

Anyone think Smith transfers? I feel like that's a major possibility. I bet Damezi goes too

They get that win they blow PSU out tonight. No question. The mental toughness is just not there.

My dad texted me after the Maryland game and said "that's gonna cost them the season." I didn't know what he meant. Now I do.

Really glad I didn't watch this game.

Penn State is playing their worst game of the season and we’re still losing. Embarrassing

I'm definitely on that train, expecting the worst, hoping for the best and all that. But no real expectations for this one.

Would've been nice for pUKe to lose to the worst team in the SEC. Funny how they seem to always lose the bulk of their games before conference play starts.

11-10, guys...11-10. Perspective is everything.

I have driven on it before, believe it or not. When I was up there for a minute I had to drive a friend's car from West Orange and it was....an experience.

Rutgers fans leaving early with 90 seconds up 5. They don't quite know how to basketball yet.

This game is Rutgers' to lose.

Realllllly rooting for FSU and hope they keep rolling. Handing them one of their only two losses is nice.

My neighbor thought the exact same thing about me haha. I got a really bad feeling when it didn't go down and they got that long rebound. A bonehead play that became the tipping point.
