These comments just exemplify what a terrible regime this is ... Comment No. 1: They didn't know a kid who was considered a five-star recruit? (Granted, he hasn't played like one, but still ... ) Comment No. 2: Someone told him Tucker might go elsewhere, so he walked away? Good lord -- that ain't how you recruit. If you're interested, you don't take no for an answer until they've committed -- and not even then. Hiring a guy in his 60s who never coached college hoops? Freakin' brilliant!

I would think, and I'm basing this only on my gut -- which is pretty big these days, so I typically listen -- that even if we lose at Northwestern, we don't see any change. It seems the "Fire Woodson" chants only got going once we started getting poleaxed by Illinois. If we lose to NW, but play well against the Twerps, that might buy more time. Now, if we lose both ... (Honestly, I have no idea. Just guessing)

Damn -- we had chances. We coulda beat these guys. UCLA? I'm not so sure.

They are scoring way too easily.

Shay -- gotta make those wide-open 3s!

This list isn't accurate. I was at IU in 1990 and we didn't lose 110-79 that season to Purdue. And the 103-74 loss to MSU was in 2008 -- that falls under Dakich, who had taken over for Sampson. We also did not lose 96-73 to Iowa in 1998.

UConn gonna lose -- at home. Creighton the benefactor of a very questionable late call -- though I don't think anybody will be crying for Danny Hurley.

Creighton up by 1 on the Hurleys -- 22 seconds to play. Bluejays' ball.

Watching Creighton/UConn. Interesting stat: Hurley is 2-7 vs. the Bluejays at UConn.

Goddamn -- that was ugly. Happy for the fellas. They actually looked as if they were trying tonight. Unlike at Iowa or against Illinois.

Ballo has been a beast. He's at 40 minutes. His body is not built for 40 minutes.

Hard to find much use for a guy whose only skill is shooting free throws.

Refs shoulda gone to Woody and Diebler and said, "If it's OK with you guys, 3 extra minutes will be enough."

Our crappy possession was followed by their crappy possession. And now we get free basketball.

We must lead the world in giving up lucky 3s.
