Bryant needs to sit til second half.

Blackmon has to go STRONG with that, try to dunk.

Really bad pass

I hope OG doesn't let all this talk get him to make NBA jump year end.

finally a little defensive nastiness

Damn, Jones shot that from half court

Was that Morgan that brought the ball up? Nice pass to OG.

Blackmon must do better.

I would say if Blackmon doesn't learn to play D he will never make NBA but Troy proved that wrong.

No offensive rebounding

Is something wrong with Morgan? I would rather have Morgan as a rebounder than Newkirk on the floor.

I hope we don't wait until the B1G season to start playing defense this year.

Here are the facts. UNC deserves the death penalty. For an institution of higher education to violate the very essence of its existence in an effort to claim athletic glory, they have lost their way. They have no business being able to compete in athletics whatsoever. UNC's own internal investigator had them at 17+ years of academic fraud. Imagine if it had been an independent investigator. With everything I just stated above, UNC was not only allowed to continue to compete, they nearly won the NCAA tournament this year. It is criminal that UNC gets treated with kid gloves while smaller programs get HAMMERED. NCAA - Nobody Cares About Academics

Well, I have never advocated it until this very moment. It is time to ignore the NCAA. Flat out lie about any allegation, even if your own internal investigator claims it to be fact. Maybe it is just time for me to stop watching all NCAA atheltics. It is just organized cheating now.

Not a fan of the changes. Seems harder to navigate. Maybe I am just getting too damn old to handle change.

If IU manages to beat UNC, Crean will not need to look anywhere else. He will almost certainly get an extension.

No reason TCU cannot be a top tier basketball program. Their football program is certainly turning heads. Texas universities have tremendous resources and a ton of in-state talent.

I respect Poythress, at least he stayed 4 years.

Hope not, it would serve him right from leaving IU for a "better job".

OG has had a bigger impact to this team than Vic even thought about having his freshman season. OG is going to be bananas by the time he leaves IU. This kid flat plays D even against the oppositions best guards. CTC, thanks for bringing this kid to IU even though I couldn't understand his recruitment.

OG has become a MAN in this tournament. Without OG, we don't win the first round game let alone this game. I am very excited about that kids future.

So did Barkley.

I hope our off-season woes are gone.

That is pretty good size for a small school.

I'm not going to complain about our seeding. We laid an egg vs. Michigan. We had no business losing that game. We literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. A lot of selfish play in that game. Not nearly enough kick outs to get the 3 game going. A lot of forced action. Maybe that was game plan? If so, it was a horrible plan. You have to put teams away.
