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. 

Even though we've severely outplayed them, I've never seen OSU look this bad. 

Unless they make some kind of run, Matta is going to blow a gasket at halftime. 

OG is becoming my favorite player. 

This is nice. 

I actually wondered what that buzzer was, because we so rarely force shot clock violations (I missed the game the other night). 

Troy just got away with a walk and stepped on the baseline. But hey, they're only turnovers if the ref blows the whistle. 

Four and a half minutes before our first turnover. Not bad. 

Didn't take long to remind me why I can't stand CBS: commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial. 

So I saw this line on the twitter feed of ESPN.com's front page and my heart skipped a beat...     From the Celtics: coach Brad Stevens traveled to Indiana     He's visiting a former player from Butler, probably Andrew Smith.
