X's 9 made free throws put him over 500 for his career (504 now).

While I agree we should be shooting more threes, I don't think we really have that many shooters....particularly until Mgbako starts hitting.

It is, but until you start actually hitting some, it would be just taking them to take them. Think we're at 23% right now after going 1 for 11 tonight.

I get it. It's just that Stu is correct -- Louisville is sucky. A win over us would just mean we lost to a sucky team. They lost to Kentucky Wesleyan in an exhibition. They needed late heroics to beat Maryland Baltimore County. They lost at home to Chattanooga by 10. The one point loss to Texas is the exception, not the rule....they were simply a sucky team that had a good game.

At making threes? I don't think so. Know what the kicker is? Xavier Johnson is 5 of 10 from three. The rest of the team is 10 of 54.

Anyone feel bad that Dakich had to rewrite his script that he had written up about the embarassing Indiana loss with 6 minutes left in the game? Me neither. He'll probably still go with it.

Cool. If UT's shot doesn't fall and Louisville wins....they are still sucky. 2-23 against in their last 25 games against power conference teams. They lost to Chattanooga and only beat UMBC by 1. I hope they do get better just so they finish in the top 200 NET and it's a quad 3 win. But they were 315 last year, so 200 might be a stretch....because they are sucky.

Not only did we run zone, but they ran it pretty well. Allowed a couple of entry passes to the free throw line that you wouldn't like to see happen, but I was pleased in that in the zone they seemed cognizant where the perimeter players were.

Five minutes of zone would have probably beaten Tom Crean's best teams.

Louisville ending a game on a bad run kind of backs up what Stuhoo said about them.

If Purdue hangs on to beat Gonzaga, remind your Boiler brethren that's a cute little win, but we just beat a team with three titles and Gonzaga -- like them -- has never won one.

Yeah, this was not a game where the two teams should have shot 60+ free throws.

I predicted IU 74, Louisville 66. If only X misses his last free throw, I nailed it exactly.

We made one three....and won. Louisville is bad. Hope they get better some this year so it would be a quad 3 win.

With Kenny Payne on the other sideline, you always have a chance.

I'd settle for what we were: better.

At first I was asking why Banks would foul there. Replay.....I'm not sure where the foul was again.

20-6 IU run

The way the game has been called, might as well go up and shoot it.

Love going to the zone. Has minimized our switching issues.

Much better the last four minutes.

Missed lane violation

JFC. Two free points for Louisville

What a ******* ********* call. My God.

WHERE IN THE HELL IS THAT FOUL??????????
