Impressive company for sure, but I so badly want TJD to be remembered as fondly as those guys, and he can do that by a deep tournament run.

Only way he comes back is if we're one and done in the tournament, and he plays awful. I think he's gone though, and I kind of want him to go. To recruit at an elite level, we need a 1 and done at least every few years to keep talent coming here. 5 star guys pay attention to that. We need guys in the league that wore an IU jersey at one time.

I would love to see a neutral court matchup between IU/PU. Has that ever happened? Closest thing I can remember is the Crossroads Classic when hoards of both team's fans were in the building rooting against the other team, but obviously we never played each other. That atmosphere would be electric.

It's like making the argument Christmas Eve is better than Christmas Day. Both are great, but this weekend takes the cake because of the magic next week will bring.

Onward! Great 2nd half. Let's get some revenge against PSU.

That's like the 4th time they've shown that blonde girl in an IU belly shirt. Camera guy must be a fan. Not that I'm complaining.

Just ugly all around. We're playing like we'd rather be at home resting.

I love JHS but please stop with the alley oops to TJD. They almost never work out.

Can't have this many empty possessions and expect to win. The team that was hot and confident to start the game now looks lost.

Yikes, not a good look for the conference. B1G probably hoping IU and its fanbase sticks around through Sunday.

Our path to the finals is right there in front of us. Let's get revenge on Maryland, then PSU tomorrow.

Michigan doesn't seem like they have a resume of a tournament team, but if they cracked through would make it to the Sweet 16. It feels like a team like that comes along every once in a while.

Archie has them hot at the right time.

So basically this is the Michigan game from last year where we get blown out at home after beating Purdue. Goodness.

Last I saw as of Sunday, Jerry Palm has us as a 5 seed and Purdue as a 1. Such a Purdue fanboy, he just can't help himself. Does he just not acknowledge the fact the tournament selection committee had us as the first 4 seed a few weeks ago?

If it's ever in LA, the B1G better prioritize ending the BTT on Saturday. That would be a really rough travel schedule for teams in the B1G footprint to fly across the country and back, then fly who knows where for the teams who are in the NCAAT.

Maybe now we can start that obnoxious count of how many days it's been since Purdue has beaten IU like they did to us under Archie.

After winning at PU, I'd have to think if we sweep our remaining home games we'd have a 3 seed locked up regardless of anything that happens in the B1G Tournament.

Honestly, that was the most fun I've had watching an IU game since the 2016 Yogi-led B1G championship team beat UK in the 2nd round of the tournament.

Maybe Mason Gillis was actually trying to practice shooting before the national anthem. Guy could use it, it all makes sense now

OMG!!! So proud of these guys!

Road teams seem to have done well today. FSU takes down Miami, WVU takes KU to the wire, and ASU upsets UA. Hope we can continue the trend.

Fran Mccaffery only slightly behind Juwan Howard for my least favorite B1G coach. It's more like 1a and 1b. Just went all the way to the baseline under the basket during a timeout to stare down a ref. He is such an idiot.

I'll be shocked if we keep this within single digits. Has Purdue even played this week? Seems like I haven't seen them on, so they're likely more rested than we are.

Does the staff not have any game tape of Troy Williams to show JG what he could do? His whole offense was cutting straight to the basket on the baseline and dunking a lob from Yogi, no reason Geronimo can't be good for a few of those per game.
