Heck of a first half by Green. Love seeing the results to match his confidence. This color commentator is f'ing awful. I have no idea who he is but I can't take it.

Figures, we're probably going to lose out to UCLA for this kid. I hate being a pessimist in regards to IU recruiting, but getting Romeo first would go a long way to being optimistic.

7th best in the conference over the last 10 games, or nationally?

Dang I really wish I was going back up to see the parents this weekend, I'd sneak over to Riley to watch that game. Good chance it gets snowed out though.

Now Chris Holtmann impresses me. What a win for OSU, always nice to see the Boilers lose! Now if MSU can knock them off this Saturday, they can probably kiss a #1 seed goodbye for the time being anyway.

Purdue just does not impress me. I'm sure I sound like a hater, but they just don't look like a top 5 team at all.

Thank God, I can't wait to see some renderings. I hope they knock this out of the park. Next up will probably have to be some type of player's dorm, but I doubt we'd ever go to the lengths that UK and KU have.

UK could be in the middle of a 4-game losing streak too. Next two games are at Texas A&M, then at Auburn.

Cal is definitely wearing out his welcome. BBN is tired of sloppy, inconsistent basketball. Could this be the year Cal bolts for the NBA? This is his 10th year of being at UK, correct? He did say he wouldn't be at UK for more than 10 years.....

I don't understand this line of thinking though. He's just a freshman. For the past few years, people were mad at the amount of transfers Crean had during his time here, wanting more players to stick around and develop. I'd like to see Moore put in work and develop. Remember, not every roster spot can be filled with guys who are going to get tons of playing time. If all we ever get out of him is 12 minutes per game, some solid defense, along with 5 pts and a few rebounds per game, I think that would warrant a roster spot.

Teddy Valentine just can't resist a chance to blow his whistle.

Good call sir.

I wish he'd just put Moore in for these last 2 minutes.

I hope the refs transfer at the end of the year. To high school games.

Good game by Devonte. This is the type of player I hope he can consistently be next year. Just stop trying for the flashy, theatrical stuff, and play within himself by going for high-percentage plays.

I remember when I was glad when teams would foul us back in the day, because I knew we'd hit our free throws with guys like Watford, Hulls, Oladipo, Blackmon, and Zeller. That feels sooooo long ago.

I'll go Rutgers by 4, 75-71. They're not completely terrible and we're not that good.

Man if he breaks Damon Bailey's record then I'll have a meltdown if he goes anywhere other than IU. Seriously, could you imagine the Indiana all-time leading scorer going to Vanderbilt? I would just stop following sports altogether and become a monk or something.

Yes let's do it.

Exactly. I was honestly very worried before the game that our students were going to start a Larry Nasser chant or something to that effect. So glad we avoided that, it wouldn't have been a good look.

A school like Colorado would absolutely take a chance on that. Low risk/high reward for a program like that.

I'm glad it looks like there are plenty of IU fans down that way in Jennings county. Every time I'm down that way, which is rare, I see far too much UK stuff.

Hmm so I guess this is good news? I'd put our chances at about 5% but that's ok, tough job to land an out of state top 5 player.

Obviously getting ahead of myself but what the heck, that's what message boards are for. If Romeo were to come to IU, there would probably be no nights with empty balconies or no-show students, based on the number of people show up to NA games now. He would create a Cody-like buzz around the program that's been missing for a while.

The thing I just realized about Phinisee is how much he already cares about IU. He clearly gives a damn, evidenced by how many times he's been to Assembly Hall this year. He would have played yesterday if given the chance. That's going to matter big time.
