Feeding the big boys worked great against Duke and we're shown flashes -- very brief, albeit -- of it here. But the truth is, if we can't hit outside shots, we're gonna struggle every single game against good teams. When you struggle mightily to get 2s and the other team is hitting 3s -- that's a recipe for disaster.

Not that one call is gonna make a difference, but those dudes grabbed poor McRoberts and just threw him to the floor!

Hey, hey -- a 4-0 run!

For as much value as we're getting out of our possessions, they might as well play "Make it. Take it."

Might be time to switch to some Conference USA football.

Honest to God, we're lucky this game isn't 25-2 right now.

Gotta find the shooters on the break. Getting absolutely burned on that.

And early game sleepiness. We don't even look like we're awake!

Where did Durham think he was going?

Jimbo Fisher to Texas A&M. Not sure I understand this, as it's much, much easier to compete in the ACC Coastal than it is the SEC West, where you have to play Alabama and Auburn every year. But I guess $7 million a year is better than $5 million. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21631488/jimbo-fisher-leaving-florida-state-accept-coaching-job-texas-am

I was using earbuds, but was wearing the left one only. For some reason, on my computer, it only plays out of the right. I can hear it now.

Even though Krzyzewski was bitching about how the fans serenaded him. "They didn't do that when Coach Knight was here," he said. Got news for ya, K -- Coach Knight's been gone for 17 years now. Get over it. And the reason folks detest Allen so much is because he spent the past two seasons running around tripping opposing players. And you refused to do anything about it. Well, I take that back -- you suspended him indefinitely for one game. So shut up and stop your rat-faced whining.

Since I haven't lived in Indiana for 25-plus years, this song always held a special place in my heart. Loved hearing it before the Indy 500. When I was growing up, the race was never on TV live, so we used to listen to it on the radio. My dad always sang along. I can close my eyes and hear him. Sadly, Jim Nabors died today. My dad passed in May. Maybe Jim can reprise this spectacular ditty and my dad can croon along in the great beyond. RIP, Gomer Pyle.

5 for 21 on 3s -- and many of those misses were wide-open looks. You can't miss those in a game like this.

Allen is very sneaky, too. He uses that elbow to clear space a lot and does it in such a way that the ref can't see. He pushes off on many of those shots, but is smart enough to not get caught. I'm trying not to complain about the refs -- that's just the way it is. If you don't get caught, it ain't a foul.

Make our FTs and knock down some of those 3s and this could've been a W.

Agree. He was getting the ball in position to score, which is what you want. Without him in there, there's very little threat down low.

Allen is great at using that elbow to create space. Very stealth.

Ball game.

They're just too damn big.

Dammit! Take care of the damn ball! ... And don't compound it with a stupid foul!

Swweeeeeet!

Flaaaaaaags! The World's Greatest Timeout!

That should almost count as two TOs by Newkirk -- a bad pass and a dumb foul.
