IU 77, OSU 70

Funny thing is that we were complaining about TJD’s lack of emotion for most of his career.

Wichita State/North Texas making their AAC debut.

For whatever the hell it's worth, my WAR projection (where teams typically +1.0 or over make the tournament) says that IU would need 19 regular season wins to be a tournament team. So that would be 9 more wins, or an 11-9 conference record.

I follow IU basketball and football, the Pacers, the Dolphins, and the Padres (I know, weird combination). Been 37 years since I've rooted for a team that won a title. Anyone have a longer drought?

Dakich would probably coach and keep his podcast and talk **** about himself.

McNeeley and Queen or someone else?

Here's one: Last second shot of Wisky against Michigan State. The clock over the basket and the clock in the crowd behind the backboard aren't synced -- 0.2 second difference. Clock leaves his hand after what 0.0 on the basket clock but at 0.1 on the clock behind the basket. Shot ruled no good.

We've actually shot it pretty well the last three games -- 28 of 57. Still a huge issue with not getting enough looks from there, though.

CJ Gunn hitting a three. Get the ball to him!

They actually have it at 2.56-5.44; the tweet cuts off the last game, which is Iowa. Pom has that game as a 50% chance of IU winning.

The tweet shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Pom.

A lot of kids enter the portal because there is going to be a coaching change and they don't know how they'll fit under the next coach. The portal is used by both players and coaches.

Nebraska is pretty good. Beat Michigan State and also beat Kansas State on the road by 16.

Washington to the title game.

Side note (in best Sheldon cooper voice): leap years occur in every year that 4 goes into with the exception of years ending in 00; in that case there is only a leap year if 400 goes into it evenly.

Nebraska 74, IU 70

Both Torvick and Pom take previous point results into account heavily -- i.e., winning a game by 1 and losing a game by 10 would rank you worse than losing both games by 4 points.

Arizona may give up 100 today

Still to be seen as well if Ware will play and if he does, if he is fully recovered.

FGCU won by 4. Of interest — Isaiah Thompson, who also didn’t play against IU, was out tonight.

Agree with stuhoo…Cupps was getting blow by just as much. I’ve been disappointed in what we’ve gotten from Cupps. I know he’s just a freshman that has been pushed into action prematurely but I’m not seeing what he adds. I was expecting low scoring but efficient. Instead it’s been low scoring and inefficient.

Michigan state in the bonus with 14:04 left

**** part that leads to other pain. Oh, your neck hurts? Well, here, let me add in some back pain that comes from you adjusting to positions you can hold your neck.

I swallowed my pride and agreed earlier in the thread.
