Never daunted fans are the ones I like ! This is a good group of fans in my view. Yeah, we didn't shoot well and seemed out of sync on offense to boot. It looked to me like every player on the Illinois team was bigger and stronger than just about anybody we had. Throw in a "let 'em play" group of officials (except when IU sets picks), and it was all set up to be a long night. We're mid pack in the best basketball conference in the NCAA. No disgrace there is there?

Well, that was about as much fun as a trip to the dentist. But I guess we move onward and upward. Thank goodness for Ciezki. I felt like she basically put the entire team on her back and carried them to the finish line. Charlie Creme's "way too early bracketology" has IU as an 8 seed (Iowa 7), with THIRTEEN BigTen teams in the dance. As I say, way too early to really know anything Watched a little Maryland-USC last night. WOW! ps. thanks for this forum.

How come so many gloom-birds come here to roost? Lots of whining and complaints about the best women's basketball coach IU has ever had. We just beat a good Penn State team with a whole bunch of girls hurt. Don't worry, be happy! Compliments to the positive folks!

Proud of Chanel and the IU-Student Athlete's Bill of Rights. Chanel was able to graduate at IU, I suspect due to the Bill of Rights. Good for her, and for IU!
