Meant to post this the other night…I found TeamworkOrange. He posts on Illinois Loyalty now. It appears the Illinois scout board had a similar exodus to ours and they have multiple other boards they post on now. Here's what he had to say about the game:   Anybody who knows me on the boards, knows I abhor all things IU. I didn't expect us to win tonight, but this... this, is not good. Not good at all. I'm extremely calm, and I was calm watching the game. This is unlike me as I typically yell at the tv during games. I guess I have resigned myself to the fact that we're not a very good basketball program anymore. I'm still a fan and will root for the team, but I'm no longer emotionally invested. I haven't felt this down about our program since the Deon Thomas sanctions. It's hard to believe...     "I guess I have resigned myself to the fact that we're not a very good basketball program anymore." Loved that line. 

I never thought I would hear anyone say they didn't go to a basketball game because it was too cold outside. 

Crean is 5-7 against Northwestern. 

Northwestern is blowing this game at the line. 

So who's going to hit the circus shot at the buzzer to win it for Maryland tonight? 

  He hasn't posted in over two years. Probably doing seven to ten for something or other. 

Illinois's post game thread is full of posters slamming Groce.      My, how they've changed in three years. 

  Not sure if it counts because it was non-conference, but Purdue hit 18 against Vermont back in November.      We had 18 last year against Minnesota and 17 in a couple other games dating back to Davis. Assembly Hall is a shooter's paradise. 

Three point record, 100+ points, Priller got a rebound, Niego hit a three.      That game was satisfying.        We lead the all-time series 88-86 now. We've won the last two after alternating wins and losses for the previous ten meetings. 

I want:   1) a hundred points   2) the three point record

Man, what did Bryant do to piss off these refs? Thorne packs a suitcase in front of Bryant, foul on Bryant. 

Northwestern up 5 on Maryland with 6:44 to go in the first half, at Maryland. 

It was a basketball play…but Nunn needs to be decked for that. 

Here we go with the blowout sympathy calls again. 

11 treys. 18 is our personal and Big Ten record. Think we have a shot? 

Bryant not getting any breaks from the stripes tonight. 

Caught a break there. 

How is it a foul on the floor when you're not…uh, on the floor?

Why are we not getting the ball inside the arc? 

Dakich never misses a chance to be on the court during a timeout when he does a game here. 

These refs don't seem to understand that we're the home team. 

I'm glad this is on ESPN and not BTN. The dudes calling last year's game in Champaign were insufferable.

Another game, another double digit lead in the 4th quarter…another loss.      I've never seen a Pacer team that was mentally weaker than this. 1:31 left, up 2, Ellis bricks two free throws and Turner gets dunked on by a point guard. That's basically the Pacers in a nutshell. 

    Adding onto this: UK had won the last 18 meetings and 32 of the last 33. Auburn's last win was on 1/11/00.
