Crimson and Cream

yeah I think they can upset someone in the NCAA tourney if they don't get upset in their conference tourney. I always hate seeing the best team in the smaller conferences getting upset in their conference tourneys

Purdue switched back to Austin Appleby at QB today and he kept them in the game for awhile. Hopefully he goes back to being Austin Crappleby next week. 

Oh and double cool. My neighbor and I made a bet. He owes me a mowed lawn next summer.

You are welcome.

Signed,

Natty and the Boob!

Finished the game on a 44-7 run.

And with Purdue next week, Martin's sympathy for the foe will not be tolerated.

IUFB is now one win away from a bowl, and their 3rd straight Bucket win.

P.O.T.F.B.

TB reminds me more of a 32 year old Ewing than a 20 year old Ewing. That said I love his game and attitude. He appears to be a perfect compliment to our current team.

They were on TV again. What are there, 300-400 people in the stadium?

27-0 run! Nice way to end the half.

Hope that's not too positive of a post!!!!! ;)

GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!!

I wish some ugly coeds would "dress up" with signs saying they were for hire at a UL game. That would be awesome!

This is when we are on offense..... But I wanna jump in the tv and get in the face of the MD LB who keeps getting in our guys faces. Good composure on our end however

That was a BEAUTIFUL pass for the TD!

Can we stop it with the fire Wilson? Who are we going to get? There are already 4-5 major job openings that are way more attractive than IU.

Wow. Very few of the bonehead plays? I don't know about that. I think Troy does a lot of good things and the amount of good things he is doing now compared to his freshman year is amazing. He's making some nice passes and really cutting well without the ball. But there are still a lot of times out there that I wish he would slow down and playing within the offense instead of looking to be 'The Man'. When he slows down and lets the game come to him (Sports Cliche violation right there) he's fun to watch. What drives me crazy is the exasperated look he gets on his face when he forces something and then it doesn't work out. He's always expecting to get bailed out. Now again, I'm not into Troy bashing I would just like to see him a little more under control. Thoughts are welcome.

And so much more upside.   Pretty impressed with his ability and certainly his future.  Good for him....hope he sticks around another year or two because I think he'd benefit.    A little more consistent range, a little more lateral quickness, a little more work on timing, continued improvement in conditioning, a little more work on his overall strength, a little better understanding of positioning and footwork....and he's a solid NBA 4-5.   Will be fun to watch him develop.   He also seems to understand his environment, which - for me - is terrific to see.   Go on, young man.  

Can we give NBA scouts the Men in Black treatment and make them forget they ever saw him? 

Has a DJ White style with the crowd already. That will be FUN.

Love these from Indy Star

When he ran down the court mid-second half and started yelling at the student section behind the basket then at the GA section, the place went nuts. I already love this dude.

Thomas Bryant is good at basketball.

Indiana's freshman center is quickly becoming a fan favorite at Assembly Hall. Based on the way he played in the win over Creighton Thursday night, it's easy to see why.
How much fun it is to watch Thomas Bryant develop before our eyes?
 
I think it’s a blast.
 
With every game I see the big man play, I think he gets a little bit more confident.
Thursday night he had 17 points on 7 of 10 shooting from the field in Indiana's convincing 86-65 victory over Creighton. He made a 3-pointer from the right corner. He had a play in the second half where he exhibited great body control when he went up for a shot inside, hung in the air for just a second, and then banked it in softly off the glass.
 
He had four blocked shots and was active on the boards. He had a pair of assists. He made all six of his shots inside the 3-point arc.
 
But you know what I liked the most from him on Thursday night – his emotion.
 
He had a sequence in the second half where he had a block and then there was a scramble for the ball after he tried to block a second shot. The officials called a jump ball and Bryant was clearly happy to have gotten a piece of it.
 
And as his team went to a time out he was clearly engaged in the moment and was really fired up and the fans showed their appreciation with a loud ovation.
 
He had a couple of those ovations Thursday night. He had another time when he came back on the court following a timeout after he had scored a couple of buckets where the fans did the two-syllable “Thom-as Bry-ant” chant. I’ve talked to players over the years who have said there is no bigger rush than to hear your name chanted like that.
 
Bryant seemed completely focused on the defensive end as the fans chanted his name but somewhere in the recesses of his mind you have to figure he heard it.
 
And you know what, he deserved it, too.
 
Bryant is quickly becoming a fan favorite at Assembly Hall and it’s easy to see why.
 
He works hard. He plays with great intensity. He seems to take constructive criticism well and he just has a presence in the middle.
 
And when you think about that’s the biggest improvement here: a presence.
 
Indiana hasn’t had a presence in the middle since Cody Zeller.
 
Hanner Mosquera-Perea wasn’t a presence. Luke Fischer had the chance to be but didn’t stick around long enough for us to find out.
 
But Bryant has that presence and the great thing for Indiana fans is that you just feel like he is just scratching the surface of how he could potentially play as the season progresses.
 
Bryant played 19 minutes in the opener against Eastern Illinois and 21 minutes against Austin Peay. Thursday night, he played 27 minutes.
 
And here’s another great statistic from Thursday night. In 27 minutes, Bryant had one foul and one turnover.
 
If Bryant can continue to improve, play with energy, stay out of foul trouble and be that commanding presence inside for the Hoosiers, it’s simply going to make Indiana’s outside shooters even deadlier than they already are.
 
And this season is going to become very much like Bryant.
 
A lot of fun to watch.
