problem with playing that tough of schedule is it leaves no margin of error and if you lose all of the tough games your season is pretty much over before the start of the big 10 season. Anyone else remember the 2004-05 non conference schedule? 6 straight loses, North Carolina at home, Uconn on the road, notre dame at home, Kentucky at freedom hall, Missouri on the road and Charlotte at home. I agree we need to get rid of the 300 plus cupcakes no reason why should have 5 games against teams like that

i wouldn't say no one was talking about Butler before stevens took over. I would say he pushed them to a place no one thought someone could take Butler. Just look at the coaches before Stevens became head coach. Thad Matta and Todd lickliter both had some success. For me, the game against Florida in the 2000 tourney where mike Miller hit a last second shot to beat butler was where people started to take notice of butler basketball

yeah he is definitely the catalyst offensively. Teams who will have success against butler will take advantage of Lewis on the defensive end like Miami did. Purdue didn't have the point guard to take advantage of him.

@1NationORG The recruitment of Josh Jackson has not been finalized. The news reported by the Detroit Free Press isn't true. I still think he ends up at Michigan state

@KyleNeddenriep C.J. Walker led Tech with 32 points and six assists. Chris King added 21, nine in OT. Paul Scruggs 33 points and 10 rebounds for Southport.

Never mind Virginia showing why they r a top 5 team won by 1. Bennett with a hell of a play to get brogden a 3. The good old elevator screen

Cal looking to close out an impressive road win. Up 5 with a min to go in ot

Xavier must of dominated the 2nd half, they are up 8 with 20 sec to go

Halftime score: Wake Forest 43, No. 6 Xavier 28. I tried to watch it on ESPN 3 but it says it's blacked out in my area.

they are playing on a neutral court at auburn hills palace but they just did play northeastern on the road

@MikeMiller Tom Crean says it's a possibility that IU adds a new player in next few weeks. Nothing in the works, however. #iubb

i could also see us under performing in the big 10 and get an 11 seed and making at least a sweet 16 run ( kind of like that NC state that had a lot of talent and under preformed until the tournament and then made a little run). Of course no matter what seed we get it will all depend on the matchup on whether we will advance

@ESPNLunardi 28-Iowa, 29-Utah, 30-UConn, 31-SoCar, 32-Baylor, 33-Fla, 34-Texas, 35-Ind, 36-NDame, 37-Cuse, 38-SoCal, 39-Monmouth, 40-VALPO, 41- ArizSt As of today joe believes we have the 35th best resume ( we would be a 9 seed)

the committee cares about top 100 wins and creighton was a top 100 win. That mediocre big 10 schedule you are talking about has 10 games against teams that are top 100 as well and 3 other games against teams just outside the top 100

Just watched the game again, dakich also called yogi from Indianapolis one of the truly great players or point guard in Indiana basketball history. i personally don't think he holds bitterness against the iu program

Just watched on IMAX 3D defiantly worth the wait. Can't wait to take the 4 year old to watch it in couple of weeks when it is not as crowded

the game I watched him play at southport he played more SF, they had 2 smaller guards handling the ball and bringing it up but I can very well see him as a SG in college. The kid is a stud and was worth the price of admission (10 bucks). I would assume Louisville will be the favorite to land him if I had to guess

@JeffRabjohns Indiana watched 2016 guard Devonte Green today at the @CityLegendz event, per @NYCHoops.

its not easy I lost my dad in 2009 he was 63 and I just turned 31 and then lost my mom at the age of 63 in 2012. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

If we put 8 wins together that would mean we would have 3 wins vs top 100 ken Pom and 3 true road wins so I would say yes we would be in the top 25

in my opinion I didn't think it was a must win for the dance. In the big 10 we still have game against 10 ken Pom top 56 teams( 5 of those against the top 18) and 3 more against fringe top 100 (Nebraska 110, Illinois 116). The committee loves top 100 wins and no bad losses. As of today all our losses our against top 100 teams. As much as I hate rpi that will be the one that matters instead of ken Pom but it's to early for rpi to mean anything. With the notre dame (top 25 ken Pom) win however it gives us some breathing room if we lay an egg in the big ten. It might not seemed at the time but the creighton win is a top 100 win and will look good on our resume as long as they stay in the top 100.
