  1. While I agree few have anything to apologize for, total disagree with "it's the internet " a good rule of thumb is don't type anything you wouldn't say to a person's face, way too many keyboard warriors around these days.
  2. We just won the premier conference by TWO games,anyone who saw this coming after the Duke game need to buy a powerball ticket,now!
  3. I think irregardless of the BTT results anything less than a 3 seed is being disrespected. But I agree 2 seed a pretty good bet if we win it.
  4. Let go,no second half lapse,put the boot on their throats and finish them.
  5. Anyone tell me when the women's selection show is and a time?
  6. That was a grab by buss, in the refs blind spot. Smart player.

  11. Mar. 02, 2016 Track and Field By: Tori Ziege | Twitter IUHoosiers.com GENEVA, Ohio – Daniel Kuhn had been in this position before. With 9 meters left in the 600-meter run, the then-freshman led the fastest runners in the conference at the 2015 Big Ten Indoor Championships. Then, his legs gave out. He finished seventh. In the same race on the same track at the same meet a year later, Kuhn was perfectly on his target pace, leading the field at the 400-split. With competitors breathing down his neck across the final stretch, Kuhn replayed the memory in his head. Then, he changed it. "I was just praying that I could hold on for dear life," Kuhn said. "I could feel them, and then I finally crossed the line and looked at the scoreboard and saw that I won." The field came in a tenth of a second behind Kuhn, with the top four finishing within 22 hundredths of one another. It was a side-by-side finish to earn Big Ten gold. "Just an overwhelming feeling came on," Kuhn said. "I've been working so hard and really wanting something big like that. I finally got my reward." Kuhn's gold medal time of 1:16.02 is the fifth-fastest ever by a collegiate athlete and a new school record. It is his third time setting the record in the 600-meter run this season and his fifth time setting a school record overall, with the other two program-bests coming this season in the 800-meter run. "I didn't try to keep track (of the records)," Kuhn said. "I went out each weekend and if I got one, I got one. I wanted to compete to the best of my ability." Senior Sydney Clute didn't have anyone breathing down her neck in her pursuit of a Big Ten Title and a school record in the women's pole vault. In the knock-out style championship, each athlete gets three attempts to clear the continually raising bar until no one — not even the winner — remains. Clute started at 4.01 meters. She cleared on her first attempt. At the 4.16-meter mark, five vaulters remained. Again, Clute cleared on her first attempt. Then there were four. At 4.21 meters, another first-attempt clearance for Clute. "At that point I was feeling really, really good," she said. "I was jumping probably the best I had all season. I was really confident that I basically had it in the bag unless something really terrible went wrong." At 4.26 meters, Clute clinched her first Big Ten Championship clearing on all first attempts. Then, it was time to shift focus. "It was kind of anticlimactic for a Big Ten championship," Clute said. "I just remember this moment where I was standing there and I was like 'Wow, I just won. Let's go break some records now.'" Clute ended the competition with a program best 4.35-meter vault after grazing the bar on the descent of her third attempt from 4.41 meters — the would-be Big Ten record. She continued the lineage of successful Indiana women's pole vaulters, started by the Hoosiers' first Big Ten Champion, Vera Neuenswander, in 2007. Neuenswander left the program in 2011 with two conference titles and the school record before being bested by her mentee, Big Ten Indoor Champion Kelsie Ahbe, in 2014. Clute was a sophomore when Ahbe set the previous record of 4.34 meters. She called Ahbe as a confidence-booster just days before breaking her record. "Kelsie was the perfect role model when she was here, and she's still jumping, so that's inspired all of us here," Clute said. "When you have girls that have jumped before you that are clearing high bars, it makes those heights attainable."

  18. Feb. 27, 2016 Track and Field 2016 BIG TEN FINAL RESULTS Daniel Kuhn Wins Big Ten Gold Head Coach Ron Helmer is pleased with the performances this weekend. "We had some outstanding individual performances. We made tremendous strides on the men's side, and if it were not for some points we left on the track we would have made even more progress on both the men's and women's side.
