We've already put them in the bonus with 12 minutes to go and only drawn one foul. That's suicide in a Big Ten road game. 

Wish I could say I'm surprised by this, but old habits die hard. 

The Pacers kind of suck in close games. 

Kentucky with another unimpressive win last night, 80-74 at home against 7-7 Mississippi State. Marcus Lee fouled out with 2 points, Alex Poythress had 6 points and 4 fouls in 31 minutes and Skal poured in five points off the bench. 

  That was by far the worst game of Cody's career. Mbakwe beat him up, took his lunch money, kicked dirt in his face and told him he plays ball like a girl. 

Minnesota is on a 19-10 run to pull within 26 of Nebraska. 

Minnesota is an 8 point underdog to Nebraska tonight, to give people an idea of how bad they are. 

It would be hilarious if Clemson recovered an onside kick here. 

  Albers is normally full of crap, but he's right on this one. Hopefully we can keep scheduling 4 wins and not blow any of them, because Big Ten wins are still going to be hard to come by. 

Anyone remember this game? (spoiler: it's NOT the 50-point loss from the mid-1990's)   http://espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=260290135     They were 0-6 in the Big Ten and we got embarrassed. That's why I'm not expecting an easy game Saturday. 

Any reason this game is so early in the day? That's 11:30 a.m. in Minneapolis. 

Knowing that OSU fans whine about officials in our building more than any other fanbase, I decided to take a peek at one of their fan boards today. No surprise, whining about the officials before the game even started and still whining about calls after we were up 30. One of them even went as far as saying their players quit because they knew they couldn't beat the refs.      I love saddling those guys with a loss on our floor. 

Illinois looks like a high school team against this press. 

SMU is unbeaten…and ineligible for the postseason. If they finish the regular season without a loss, do they take over the '76 Hoosiers' rightful place as the last team to be perfect? 

It's January. Let it play out. 

This is the first time we've been 4-0 in the Big Ten under Crean. 

This game only took an hour and 45 minutes. 

Why is Yogi still in the game? He was gasping for air earlier. 

The last few minutes have been a slew of sympathy calls/no-calls for OSU. 

If Zeisloft shot a beach ball into the ocean, it would probably blow back in his face. 

3 fouls in 30 seconds. Refs probably just trying to get the OSU bench to pipe down. 

Reminds me of this game: http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=330120084     Let's hope the second half isn't similar. 

We don't play these guys in Columbus. Pour it on in the second half. Get the lead up to 40 or more and rub their faces in it. Send a message that this is our state and Matta needs to go elsewhere for recruits. 

Screw that ref, I wanted to keep them under 20. 

  Tied at 16.      Troy vs. OSU, that is.
