Except that the events aren't mutually exclusive. You won't get a snow day if it doesn't snow, but we could lose out and Woodson would still be the coach next year. In terms of 'rooting for two irreconcilable positions' -- what I root for will have no bearing in what happens at the end of the year. If I root for Indiana to win a game, it has no bearing in whether they actually win or not, just like 'rooting' for Woodson to be fired has no bearing in whether he is fired or not.

Question for you -- and it's not meant as a dig at all -- at this point are you openly rooting for IU to lose or are you watching (or not watching) the games as someone who is detached from the program? I agree that IU should be moving on from Woodson but personally still root for IU to win when I am watching. Not that upset if they do lose at this point, but don't root against the team. And again, it is not meant to dig at you at all, just looking for your perspective. My perspective is that I can't control what I can't control, so when I'm watching a game I would like to have an enjoyable experience and I I don't enjoy watching them get humiliated. If we win, I'm happy -- not as happy as I would be if it actually meant something toward the tournament -- if we lose, I'm just kind of not upset at this point.

I need to watch the replay and see if anyone woke up Armond Hill when the fire alarm went off.

12 by Gallo.

Food for thought: Galloway just put up his second 12 assist game. He is averaging 4.6 assists per game this year. For reference, Yogi Ferrell averaged 4.6 assists for his career at IU (and, NO, I'm not implying Galloway is as good as Yogi, LOL, just stating how well he has distributed the ball). It might not have been that IU needed to pick up a point guard in the portal -- may have been more about picking up a shooting guard.

Think it was very telling that late with the game on the line....no Cupps, no X....it was Galloway and Leal in the game. Also, no C.J. Gunn at all tonight.

What are you talking about? You've been babbling on and on about how he'd be here regardless because "Quinn".

Not that it matters, but quad 1 win at the moment. That said, Wisky is at 22 and if they drop below 25 it will be a quad 2.

They are completely fine right now. NET was 22 entering today and POM was also 22. 33rd best non-conference schedule and 5th best overall according to POM. Games left are Illinois, Rutgers, and at Purdue. Short of them losing all three I can't envision them out.

Matt Painter confirmed that with John Rothstein.

Meh......if anything, I thought the team would fold after the break in action.

So who will Woodson blame for the win tonight? :)

You, sir, win the internet tonight.

Conner Essegian......I would like to see him transfer to IU but he was really bad in the few minutes he played tonight.

Good game. Or at least good enough to win.

One HELL of a block out by Leal.

Ware's best game here.

Agree he does that, but the other options aren't very good and don't score.

No three seconds ? Okay....

Hard to be first team Big Ten when you are waiting to get called back up to the NBA from the Fort Wayne Mad Antz.

I thought the same -- heard the buzzer after the shot, but on the replay it didn't beat the lights.

Big play there. Need to get stops.

Hummel having a bad night announcing

Ware, Reneau, Galloway, and Mgbako take the floor after the timeout. Ref: "You need five, Woody" Woody: "My team is on the floor."

Trey Galloway is our point guard. X simply is rusty and erratic. Cupps can't play defense and won't shoot the ball.
