St. John's trying hard to catch Kansas in the second half. Got down to 3, but now Kansas back up by 8...69-61...9:32 to play. Kansas goes on a 16-2 run over the last 5 minutes.

The simple fact, in my humble opinion, is that we, as fans, don't know what to expect from this team just yet. We have a new head coach, some new assistants, a number of new players who are now getting experience playing with our old players. There's just a great deal of uncertainty right now. Can't get too high or too low this season.

That's the truth!! Thanks.

I agree. I simply was pointing out that they appear to have played something less than their best last night. Tarleton gave Michigan a good game also.

Gonzaga struggles with Tarleton tonight...64-55. Game was a one possession game with 5 minutes left. Then the Zags took control. Tarleton's tallest starting player was 6'6". Not great for the Zags resume.

OSU QB Jack Miller??

Man, I'm glad to see someone say that. I know Holmgren is 7' tall, has good maybe great ball skills and can shoot from the perimeter, but the media folks talk like he's the greatest draft pick EVER. Yeah, he's going to get drafted, but he's not going to play much right away. Not with his body. JMHO

I'm thinking that the game at Syracuse will be quite difficult. We aren't a great shooting team and that place can be problematic even for teams who are good shooters. The Syracuse zone defense does look average or worse, which the coaching staff should find exploitable. Close win for IU.

IU - 74 Syracuse - 70

Not that it means squat, but Lunardi has IU as a 7 seed, up from an 8, and no longer has Syracuse in his bracket. They were earlier listed as a 9 seed against our 8. We need better shooters and more of them. This coaching staff will get us there. I have no doubts.

IU - 81 Herd - 65

Houston having its way with Butler...35-16 with 4 min left first half.

Wolverines fall to Arizona...80-62. Guessing that ranking is about to change for both schools.

Sure would be a great night for Stewart to get hot from outside...along with Kopp.

You're not alone in your worries. I'm there with you. Maybe a little adversity, in loss of Trey and Rob, will motivate the team. Yeah, dumb comment, but it came from my nerves.

I am nervous about this game. They have size and experience. They shoot pretty well. We can't just show up and expect to win. But Coach Woodson knows that, so I hope he's able to have our guys ready.

With the serious injuries he's had, I hope he is. He's not pro material, unfortunately. Just too fragile.

Well, he's got 22 pts and 7 rebs, so that's a decent condiment any way you spread it. He did manage to commit 4 turnovers in the first half.

IU - 88 JSU - 57

IU - 81 LA - 69

So, what would you expect Holmgren will weigh once he gets to the pros? Porzingis is 7-3, 240 and Durant is 6-10, 240, for example. Not being argumentative... really curious because right now he looks like he might be perimeter oriented.

IU - 77 SJU - 72

I hope you're right. Needs to show that he can shoot with consistency. JMHO. Young man has great athleticism. I just want to see him score with a jump shot regularly.
