This game is a wrap. Just give the ball to Morgan very trip Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I hate late games. How many fn turnovers? Green is so bad tonight Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I can't stand Palmer Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Thinking more for Conference but you're right. That was a great game. Probably worth another watch! Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

This is where that Wisky and Illinois game really haunts us. I'm still waiting on that "win one we shouldn't" game lol. We've taken care of the other end of that equation. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Brass cannon does all game threads. I thought we were all in agreement lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Phewww.. was losing my voice over that crap officiating. Push offs, holding players away woth one hand.. nothing, then Green has a 100% Clean block amd they give them a foul over it lol... THEN, Freddie fouls Cook 3 TIMES, not called, and then he steps out of bounds lmao.. My goodness, this team is becoming fun. A game like this, even though head scratching, is what IU needs. That's good experience playing against crap officiating and a zesty crowd. Rojo - wow - my man knows he only has a few games left in his career. This should be fun!

We got this game if the refs call it both ways. Are we going to let things go or are we calling some tick tacks? I'd say it's time for Archie to show Fran how it's done! Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Ok, these refs are getting annoying. There was no foul there. Just dying to give Iowa a shot Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I feel good about that win. I'm not looking forward to playing Underwood in the future if he also gets longer athletes that play defense with that same intensity. Their big defense is whatever but that rotation of guards does create havoc. Now last night, also some very dumb lazy passes. I'm glad Archie yanked Green. Newkirk was handling the pressure much better down the stretch. And I LOVE that for Durham. That kid needed THAT game. One where u could say he sealed the game for IU in the final minutes. Another big game coming up for IU and the NIT. Hate to say that but I'll root my arse off for these guys in the Not Invited Tourney for respectable scrubs. They could make some serious noise with the current defense. Get a good seed and make a run, giving our freshman and Archie more time together. Another serviceable game for Mcswain. I'm also on that small boat that kind of wishes he was around 1 more year to spell Morgan and bruise people up. I don't think I've seen one big push him around except Haas and Ward. He's certainly "thriving" in this system. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

So BTN is talking about Penn state and the tourney. I say, why not us then? Beat OSU at home which i feel pretty good about... shoooot.. Let's make some noise now boys!! Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Green - welcome back to the doghouse. Such garbage passes. He was just not focused enough. Newkirk had some head scratches but handled the ball very well coming down the stretch. Apparently it's going to take more time to reel Green in. Best passes of the night came from Morgan and the Mcswain to Durham backcut. Rojo - shaky at the end but I'm not mad at him. He really hounds the best opposing guard every game. Dude is a legit defender with great body positioning most of the time. Good rebounder too. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Hoosiers, finish this crap. We need this game Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Thank you. Mcswain is twice the player Moore is... Not trying to be an uber jerk but every time I see that comment about "can't understand why Moore isn't playing" my first thought is, obviously never played the game of basketball then. It's so obvious why he doesn't play. It's not that he's weak.. he is literally lost every possession on offense and defense. Let it go, lol. And I'm with Arch, end this Prillerr crap. That's a symbol of a cheesy gimmicky era of IU ball. It's all business now and I love it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Rojo.. really. Smith was standing wide open.. who is probably the best jump shooter we have Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

I hope a night of sleep has some of yall in a better mood. I feel "good" about the loss. We fought like absolute hell being outmatched at almost every position, 7 or 8 guys deep. Assembly Hall is special folks. And can we revisit the Mcbob crossup? Woooooo Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Man, McSwain... get ya some fella!! And Newkirk, I just feel bad for him now. It's in his head BAD. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

There is no doubting that Archie wanted to make a splash this year more than anyone in the country. It has to drive him mad on the sidelines watching the same crap occur over and over again. All we can take away from this season is that the team defense has very much improved and the foundation is now there. FWIW, I've had a number of non iu fans tell me how good the Team looks on the defensive side now. They also say, man it is rough watching them play offense for stretches. Lol Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

The fanbase is just treading water for now and people have to try to keep the enthusiasm going. Because the fanbase truly is what separates us as a program in cbb. Absolute chaos raining down in Assembly Hall. I get it, I'm tired of being in this constant spot. I think it took a lot out of everyone when we had Hulls and co. For 2 great back to back years. Everyone (most people at least) thought we finally turned the corner under Crean and it was ON like DK again. And yet, here we are again, a program that has fallen on its face AGAIN. It has to wear us down at some point. But, that's what's great about IU. It simply takes a few good recruits and we are right back on the map, with a big target on our back. Most of the country just chomping at the bit for us to lose while ranked top 5. That says it all there to me. We will forever carry that kind of clout with the CBB world Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Mcswain could literally have 20 right now, lmao Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

If I'm Archie, it may be time to ease up on Green and let him make his stupid mistakes. It would be different if Newkirk gave ANYTHING.. but he doesnt. Might as well just get 8 points amd 4 turnovers or so from Green this year to ride out. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

No matter what the players looked like on paper at the start of the season, we don't have a tate, bates diop, etc, a wessen body, etc on this team. We have Morgan, a walk on who plays until he bleeds and Rojo who disappears A LOT. That's pretty much all. Everyone else doesn't start or even play much on the top 10 big ten teams. In reality, we have a super weak roster Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Not sure it was that as much as Smith not being engaged and Mcswain at least slowing his man down on defense. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol anyone notice Stan Robinson having fun with #22 Rhode Island heading to the tourney? Good on ya, Stan! Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app

Yea I'm about to check out of this game. I got drywall to put up and flooring to lay that would be measurably more entertaining than this. Guys aren't even remotely engaged other than McRoberts. Even Morgan looks a little slow which is what I was afraid of. We were going to ride that horse until he wears down some. Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app
