Dave from Dayton

And take out the last year where Crean's IU didn't make the NCAAT. I won't mention the NIT. And left the cupboard empty for the next coach. Recruiting had gone flat. And we all questioned his substitutions. Right now, I would say that the jury is still out on Coach Woody.

Yeah, well bask in your self aggrandizements while the rest of us slog on predicting that IU will overcome. Some day, when we all approach that Cream and Crimson Assembly Hall in the heavens, at the entrance gate Dickie V will ask you if you predicted IU wins during this season. And he will point you toward the other entrance that sends you to that brick hell of barf and gag Lafayette IN...and all you get to see is their tricycle races and how to use the slide rule. The rest of us will be seated right behind the players bench in the growing student section of true fans.

Never said Woodson is. He might be. But we know that Crean isn't. All hat. No cattle. Crean got the IU job because of Wade. And the fact that IU couldn't buy another decent coach after years of mismanagement.

Do not make me ill.

Hoosiers done drove me to drinkin' because of all that real bad stinkin'.

There's another way to look at High School players rankings. Talent and skill are rated highly. What IU lacks is basketball IQ and effort.

it was a phantom call

It's a comeback! Sandbagging NW. That's it.

Just wait until next year. Help is on the way. Oh. Never mind. Go IU! Try defense for a change.

Wow! He shot that from Terre Haute.

Heck, Josh...here's an update: I am ready to go on defense from the couch in my family room. And, I can be really offensive. Put me in, coach.

Just checked the schedule on FS1 for noon. It is showing NW @ IU! I am using Hulu subheading sports and scanning to noon. I also checked for IU's defense. It is showing up today. IU wins by 9...76 - 67.

NWern 67 Indiana Hoosiers 76 How is Race? How is TJD? How is XJ? How is Indiana going to beat a zone? Get the ball across halfcourt quickly, how? How is Indiana going to improve on defense in the second half? I don't blame the players. Well, maybe on free throws. Oh, and definitely on defense and turnovers... And we have to win in spite of the refs. But the coaching definitely needs to improve.

sweet moves

Race on crutches. Sad.

The new Indiana! Race inside, hitting and battling! TJD fighting and finishing! Shafino hitting from out, twice! OMG!!! Bourbon time!

Purdue sux

9:12 tipoff

They will shaft the Laffy town clowns and duh nuts are toast. FS1 will show IU game in it's entirety.

Broken foot...

Who will defend Murray?

Indiana 84 IoWay 77 Other than slow starts, lack of defensive intensity at times, finishing shots, rebounding, toughness, and a PG, and an inside game at times we are really a decent team. So very close. Will Tamar make some magic? Is TJD hundo P? Will anyone rebound? Watsamatta w/Race? Will Kopp be the only scorer in double digits...just bury me face down...after gifting my organs to anyone except PU fans.

Phelps Darby, Ernest Strange, Jay Fitzgerald, Alvah Rucker, Charles Unnewehr, and/or these others: Indiana University Basketball Encyclopedia - Jason Hiner - Google Books Scroll one page down for the picture and caption. I looked in the first 30 or so years of Indiana University basketball and nowhere did it say anything about scholarship players. A great read about the beginnings of IU and B1G basketball. Just think of the times, trials, travels, wars, teaching a new game...

Now for our 20 - 0 run!

I have a bet with my better half. We had better win.
