Funny, after that RoJo layup, Gus said "Here come the Hoosers." About 45 seconds later, we're down by 17.

So excited by our play in the first half. The second? Not so much.

16 TOs and we still got 9 minutes left. Ish!

We bailed them out again with another STUPID foul.

And we bail them out with a foul when they were about to run out of shot clock. Frustrating!

Had some really stupid, careless fouls early in the half. Now, they'll come back to haunt us.

Gotta finish that, Justin!

Can't keep wasting possessions!

Green shoulda just taken that to the hole.

It's so strange to not see us run that silly three-man weave up top on 40 percent of our possessions. Strange in a good way!

Why isn't that a T on Rodriguez?

Green's new nickname -- Shoe!

Got killed on 3s the first two games, so I'm not sure why we keep leaving shooters to help. Stick with the shooter!

BTW, we're not the only fan base that's a tad schizophrenic. I don't troll on anybody's fan boards, I just see headlines on yahoo or msn.com and read the stories -- that usually take me to a fan board -- because they're interesting and funny. In the past two days, I've seen one story saying Jon Gruden indicated if he returned to coaching, there were 2-3 jobs in which he'd have interest -- the University of Tennessee gig was one. Another said Gruden has made it known he has absolutely no interest in the Vols job. So there you go ... many fan bases are as nuts as we are. I'll leave you with this quote from Bob Wiley: "Roses are red. Violets are blue. I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I."

I know someone who's son went to high school with Bryce and played basketball and tennis with him. Has nothing but good things to say about he and Homer. I think Bryce is a good dude. It just so happened that Darius wanted to stay close to home and Vandy gave him that option. Just because it worked out that way doesn't mean there was anything wrong with the way he was recruited.

Watch what you say about Gary. I'm from there and am a helluva good guy.

I think this is why Brad Stevens has absolutely no interest in ever returning to the college game. ... Well that, plus he's doing a pretty damn good job in Boston. ... And Billy Donovan as well (no interest in returning to college hoops).

I'm going with the exact same score made me weep (not really) when I was a junior in B-town and watched the NCAA Sweet 16 game at Jake's. (Is Jake's even around anymore?) Seton Hall 78, IU 65

If the Garlands didn't want that news out there till the 3:45 p.m. announcement, Darius shouldn't have talked to ESPN.

Welcome to IU basketball, Robert Phinisee. ... Mr. Garland, good luck in your future endeavors.

Who knows? Maybe Phinisee gets up to speed quicker than we thought and ends up being better for IU in the long run. Remember, Calbert Cheaney wasn't all that highly regarded out of high school -- he ended up OK.

That's what I don't get. Why set up this announcement, then talk to ESPN and tell them everything. I don't blame ESPN. Clearly, he talked to them and had no problem with them publishing this info.

If you play Achie's post-game remarks from last night backward and at half-speed, about 15 seconds in, you can clearly hear: "Darius is coming." ... And about 30 seconds later: "Romeo will follow." ... And about a minute after that: "Paul is dead."

The freshmen are bringing some energy!

Perhaps they should start shooting free throws underhanded (or granny-style), like Rick Barry -- or Ollie from "Hoosiers."
