Ducks hit a deuce at the buzzer. Hoosiers 40-30 at the break. Cieski with 15 points, but ... Meister, Striplin and Garzon each has 3 fouls. Last foul on Striplin (moving screen) was non-existent.

Some nice minutes from Lexi this half.

Now we've got Striplin with 3 fouls. Gonna have to go really small for the rest of the half since Meister also has 3.

Jeezus -- Garzon with a third foul.

Nice feed from Garzon to Striplin to break the zone.

B1G Network talking about how Striplin took a shot to the face. B1G Network talking about how CTM is barking at officials about said shot to the face. B1G Network saying officials will review play to see if there is anything egregious. B1G Network not showing a replay of the incident.

We're giving them the outside shot -- and they're not taking it. They haven't taken one 3. Meanwhile we're 5 for 10.

Cieski 11, Ducks 11. Thankfully, we have others contributing. IU 23, Ducks 11 after 10 minutes.

Two early fouls on Garzon.

15-4 Hoosiers at the first timeout. Nice start. Let's keep it up.

Lexus with the 3. Wow!

Where was the foul on Striplin?

Usual starting 5 ...

Even MT thinks that's funny.

The only viable name here is Gates. Don't see him leaving Mizzou, however. Grant? He's a mid-major coach. Did well at VCU and is doing well at Dayton, but flamed out at Alabama. Plus, there are rumors that he's retiring after this season. As for Shrews -- that's a joke, right? There's absolutely no reason to think he's qualified to coach at IU. This counts him out.

The last 25 seconds of this game have taken about 15 minutes.

Full disclosure: I did not count to verify this, but Chris does not post 2 million times a day on here. (And if you choose not to believe his posts, that's fine. But you have no call to get snippy here. Chris is just passing along what he he hears).

Funny how the story says Chris Beard's name keeps popping up, but cites only Rick Pitino endorsing him and Rick Bozich speculating that he might be a candidate. From that, we go to "Indiana expected to pursue" Beard. Um, no. You cannot draw that conclusion from those two pieces of non-news.

I vote for the UNCW coach -- if only because it would be cool to have a coach named Takayo. I would think there's a good possibility of Odom to UVA. Kinda surprised Scherz only received an "honorable mention." He was a hot name last year. Then again, maybe that was only on this board.

Relax. Lighten up a little. It was a joke in reference to this always fun rant by Slick Rick.

All the negativity on this board SUCKS. Folks, I got news for ya: Arthur Schabinger is not walking through that door. Red McManus is not walking through that door. Tom Apke is not walking through that door. The sooner you realize that, the better this program -- and this board -- will be. The only thing that's gonna turn this around is being upbeat and positive.

Terrible possession by Iowa State.

Two times in the final few minutes we had four guys standing around while Gallo dribbles around in circles, then turns it over. Goddamn, there's no excuse for that.
