I'd be laughing my @$$ off if an opposing player ever said this. Spoken like a true college kid who's never had to face any real adversity in life. We so desperately need a different breed of player.

I thought it was after Northwestern.

Our last two home games with Illinois both came down to the final minute. We're probably the better team but I don't expect this to be easy.

Crean let him play in a game where he couldn't even remember to put his jersey on, so it would make sense why he'd blame the fans for getting Crean fired.

Doesn't Pearl want his son to take over for him when he retires? It doesn't appear he has any head coaching experience. If Pearl ever came here, this is probably what would happen: he coaches two years, has to retire due to some health problem, and we have to hire his son, who's in over his head from the start, and...well, you know the rest.

17 turnovers, 23 fouls to their 15, shot half as many free throws...and led wire to wire to beat a ranked team on the road. It pays to have a winning culture.

Really need these free throws after the timeout. Haven't scored in over 4 minutes.

Did that last 3 count? ESPN took it off.

Iowa was in the bonus at the 7:14 mark. We finally made it at 1:33. lol

They have 11 offensive rebounds, we have 2. That's probably why.

We're fouling WAY too much. Hard to see us winning if this keeps up.

Had a bad feeling when we were up 15. No lead ever seems to be safe in this building, whether it's a men's or women's game.

3 offensive fouls in 4 possessions.

6.5 point dogs today. That's 2 points worse than the men's team last night. Hopefully we're at least competitive.

This sh*t's been going on for the whole Woodson era. When we lost at home to Illinois his first year, they left a message on the whiteboard in the visitors' locker room that said something like "Nighty night, Trayce!" Rutgers has had dudes playing mind games and calling us out for being soft, the guy from PSU said he wasn't impressed by Ballo, and now this. Our players aren't serious and their opponents know it.

But, I was told his teams didn't play defense and he was just another Archie Miller...and that it would take multiple years for him to win here...

Too many cooks in the kitchen. The Cig hire was mostly Dolson with input from Whitten, which is how it should be. We didn't have boosters/BOT members/donors trying to meddle with that hire because none of them cared about football.

I'm not sure you could have picked a worse day to come in here and flex.

The worst part is we all saw it coming, though I think most of us expected it to be Louisville instead. But this is IU, so of course he landed in the Big Ten.

Remember when we won a few games and people thought we were screwed? Good times.

The worst part about games like these is how broadcasters will say it's an example of how deep the Big Ten is and how every team will get kicked in the mouth multiple times. I'm sure "it's hard to win on the road in the Big Ten" will make the usual rounds and our players won't feel any regrets whatsoever for this turd of a game.

Louisville all over again. I wonder who was out on the town last night?

Seat getting warmer for Katie Gearlds? Purdue 0-5 in the Big Ten after an 87-60 home loss to Michigan today. They've lost 6 games by 20+ points.

Unclutch award of the week goes to South Carolina's Nick Pringle, who missed two free throws with 9 seconds left and his team down by one.

USC up 10 at Illinois and has the ball with 2 minutes left. The other USC is leading Auburn 40-34 at the half.
