    bnkepner got a reaction from GloryDays in IU vs Illinois Post Game Thread   
    They are currently reshowing the game on the BIG ten network and Im watching it. I missed the second half today so I get to watch it now. But someone I noticed a lot this game and a lot during the Big Ten season is there seems to be an anit-IU bias on part of the commentators during the Big Ten season. During the Illinois game the commentators got REALLY caught up in the game it seems and anytime Illinois made a play or some kind of a run, the commentators were SCREAMING. When IU got hot or went on runs the commentators just kept going like normal. I also notice small things like they always talk about what the other team has to do to beat IU. Its never what IU has to do to win or beat the other team. Its always what the other team should do to beat Indiana. Just small things that just seem very strange when you take a step back and look at them

    We are witnessing the makings of a TEAM. A group of individuals coming together with the belief that they CAN beat anyone in any given night. It's fun to watch them coming together.

    Hate to say it, but the Devin Davis incident probably sped this process up 100x.

    I loved reading that Eric Gordon was tweeting support for IU during the Illinois game.
     
    He helped us get the last win there---- and we started a new string today!

    Last year iubb cliques:
     
    1) Stan, Noah, Devin, Troy
    2) Will, Austin, Jeff
    3) Yogi, Hanner, Peter
     
    This year's cliques:
     
    1) All IUBB players
    2) The opposition
     
    Every timeout...Hoosiers in the huddle with arms around the shoulders of their teammates. Every big shot made...every Hoosier of the bench looking as excited as if each of them had just hit that big shot. 
     
    All. Game. Long.

    This is what will happen. Bryant will commit to UK and be on the second line and make little impact. Maker will reclassify and will see that he can become godlike at IU and commit. We will win it all next year. At least this is my dream...

    bnkepner got a reaction from GloryDays in @Illinois game thread. 1pm Sunday   
    My only question is someone Ive been thinking about for the past few games…what are the purpose of the screens set in our offense. We RARELY run a pick and role or a pick and pop. We don't really set screens to get people open. We just set screens just to set them it seems. Frustrating me. If 3s aren't falling our offense is usually stagnant. Luckily they are falling this game. I wish we ran way more pick and roll though because the screener is usually wide open in this offense.

    As far as the Russell/Trimble/JBJ comparison its funny to compare Trimble and JBJ stat wise. JBJ averages more points, rebounds, and steals. Trimble averages more assists. Interesting to look at

    Their program seems to be a little fishy. The Mundiay situation was a weird one as well. Now Martin leaves the program and its just all around weird

    They are going to be in the top 10 pretty soon. They have big men that we can't even touch. Their backcourt is also pretty darn good. With them ranked so high and us not even sniffing the top 25, we still have a LONG way to go. I do think that head to head we can play with them.

    From the Inside the Hall article about Austin's transfer to Butler:

    "He received a medical redshirt for the 2012-2013 season after suffering a broken left kneecap, which means he’ll have two years of eligibility remaining. Etherington plans to graduate in May and is expected to be eligible next season."
