Game Day Hoosiers---Fire Up!  Beat The Mocs...

The 2nd round matchup between IU/UK is something we are all interested in---but I hope the team doesn't make the same mistake some of us are making and overlook the first game.   Down here in Southern Indiana---we've been waiting for the IU/UK series to resume---and the tourney will hopefully get it started again!

A solid team to open with--no pushover. But---we should still win by 10 plus.

In a common opponent---the Mocs beat Illinois by 4. They have not really played many quality opponents.  We should be fine if we play our game. Then comes the UK power match.  Ullis versus Yogi---have to admit that will be fun to watch. Go Hoosiers!

Rumor is quashed--let's play bball!

Ridiculous----it is truly a sad day when the outright BigTen champion is a 5th seed in the NCAA tournament. The first time in recent history I remember a slight like this. We overcame several key injuries and this is the respect we get?  I hope this fires us up even more.  Go Hoosiers!   PS--the PAC-10 love fest will prove once again to be without merit. 

FWIW---Albers says this report is FALSE.

Hope this is not true.  Hope he does what Yogi did---hope he comes back and shows us what he's got!    If true--this sure won't help with in-state recruiting.

By the way---OG is a player......he can play some mean D---I love him pressuring at the top of the key.

After I have had a chance to calm down----two thoughts:  First---at least we didn't just give it to them. They won it by hitting two big back to back three pointers. All in all it was a good ballgame and Coach made some good in-game adjustments.   Second, we have some guys who are dinged up---RoJo, Juwan, and now Hartman.  It's not the end of the world to give them some rest and let them heal up before the NCAA tourney starts. That's the tourney we really want to do well in...

Well crud---our radar did not detect those last 2 --back to back---long range ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads on them. They decimated our armies. Regroup and rest up for the NCAAs!

Hope Hartman's arm is OK

Well crud---the tournament curse continues!

Crown Prince Crean is  advancing our troops to our northern border--Indy. Queen O has ordered and decreed that we show no mercy to the Wolverines who will be feisty--- trying to play their way into the NCAA.  We shall unleash our secret weapon--Maximus Bielfeldus. He used to fight with them until he saw the light and came to BTown. Now--he is an IU/Francaislander through and through.   Viva La Francais---Viva La IU!   Oui must win!

Great news on RoJo.  We are going to need him in the NCAA tourney.

Good stuff.  Beat the Wolves!  Come on Hoosiers--it's time to finally win this tournament and get that monkey off our backs!

IU MSU PU MD   Game Day---fire up Hoosiers--beat the wolves...

Iowa with their annual late season dive----there's a pattern and a problem there.  Too many seniors to be having this problem again---especially against Illinois.    Coach---meet hot seat!

Congrats Hoosiers! All these awards just go to show how much of a TEAM effort this title was from start to finish in the Big Ten. And the good news is---we have not peaked yet this year.  I really feel like we are playing our best basketball now. Just Win Hoosiers!

I hope Blackmon helps us continue the success next year.  He now knows the difference defense makes and as competitive as he is--I have to believe he will be focusing on his this off-season to put all the "talk" to rest. Go Hoosiers!

Congrats Coach Crean---you pushed all the right buttons the second half of the season.  This has been a season to remember and I hope there are more good memories to be made.   Funny how things go---from zero to hero in a few months! Well deserved honor.....
