  1. From one old geezer to another - HAPPY  BIRTHDAY and many more still to celebrate.
  2. Not meant to be flippant, but from here on out aren't they all 'sort of must wins' given that our resume of wins to date isn't that strong and we need some quality wins to get the highest seed possible in the Big Dance?  I really don't want to end up seeded 7th or lower.
  3. A true bucket list is forward looking and to that end, I would love to be seated behind the bench on the night we win our next NCAA championship.  [Note to team; I ain't gettin' any younger!]   Witness the hiring of Brad Stevens as our new coach.   Live within walking distance of the most beautiful campus (and Nick's) I have ever seen.
  4. Be in the locker room at halftime of the 1976, 1981 & 1987 NCAA championship games.   Be on the bench when Smart hit the winning bucket in the 1987 title game.   Be in the room for the discussion and voting on hiring Kelvin Sampson and the same for CTC.   Be able to relive my undergraduate years at IU.
  5. With what you've seen of JM and OG and knowing the recruits coming in for next year, over the course of next season - not just a game or two - are we be a better team with Troy and his erratic play or without Troy should he decide to turn pro?
  6. Another chance to play down to our competition but we'll find a way Hoosiers  80 Ninny Lions    75
  7. Levert is probable.   Wolverine Brand Salve   78 The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling             73
  8. If he starts a drive and lowers his head the results will not be good. 
  9. Through 15 games this season: 24.5 ppg. 2 reb./game 4 assists/game 2 steals/game 31% on 3's 77% on FT's 59% on 2's
  10. 1/30, McCutcheon (#6-4A) defeated by Danville (#9-3A) losing 60 - 57.  Phinisee with 18 pts. and 6 reb.
  11. 1/30, New Albany trounced Jasper 92 - 53.  Langford with 35 pts., his 5th consecutive game with 30 or more.  He was 12 of 20 from the floor, 3 of 8 on 3's and 8 of 10 on FT's.  He also had a game high 9 rebounds.
  12. IMO Crean is just being a nice guy and there's nothing more to it than that.  Rice won't be unemployed for long.  There will be enough D-1 jobs that open in the next 60 days and he'll land one of those openings.
  13. Definitely shooting touch has deserted him, but the kid had 8 defensive rebounds so he's certainly not afraid to mix it up inside.  He tied with TB for most rebounds in today's game.  He also only had 1 TO
  14. Sometimes it's just better to be lucky than good.
  15. Oh lord, the February swoon is coming early this year!
  16. Impressive layup drill by Minny.  Not-so-impressive IU defense!
  17. Mercifully it's over.  Lead had stretched to 30 and the Ladies were able to pare it down to an 86 - 63 loss to the Terrapins.  Lousy shooting % the entire game and MD shoots 53% for the game.  Cahill with 14 and Buss with 13 pts.  Need to forget about this one and look forward to being  Back Home Again in Indiana on the 4th for Iowa and again at home on the 7th for Nebraska.
  18. Ugh and Ugh.  Really rough 3rd Q and the Ladies trail 70 - 39.  Just one of those days.
  19. Probably a little of both but on paper Maryland is the superior team and we're playing on their court.  Really rough 3rd Q; just can't buy a basket and MD continue to shoot around 50% from the floor.
  20. Great first half from TB, but RoJo is our leading rebounder with 6 boards.
  21. At this point, the bench as contributed 11 of our 24 rebounds and 14 of our 37 pts.
  22. Cody Zeller ‏@TheBigHandsome 15m15 minutes ago Thomas Bryant is my favorite TB since Taco Bell. #livemas #iubb
  23. Held their own in the 2nd Q but down 38 - 27 at the half.  Shooting only 29% from the field; MD at 48%.  Also losing the rebound battle 24 - 18.  Only 5 TO's which is exceptionally good for the Ladies.  Buss with 9; Cahill with 7.  Anderson 6 reb; Cahill with 5.
