Ugly win, but a win. I'm switching over to Olympics -- U.S. vs. Canada in women's pux. Go USA!

Five players in double figures, way too many turnovers, too many missed free throws, and how about Captain Morgan  -- 14 points,  10 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 steals, 3 assists -- how is that for a stat line?

...and pUKe about to lose its 4th in a row!!!!

So Is it a bad thing that I care more about the officiating crew announcement more than the starting line up. It’s time the Big Ten gets some new blood.

I really, really really, really hope Morgan is back next year.

On a side note.....we need to have Morgan next year.

PS. did I mention we need Morgan next year?

It was ugly, but I'll take the win.

Good game from
Morgan and Durham. Off and on for most the others. McBob didn't do anything?

I predicted a 10 point win. Game went about how I expected besides the Ticky Tack fouls for the last 10 minutes.

Alright. It’s a win. I’m not really feeling good about it but, from here on out we just need to win any way we can. Great game from guys like Al Durham and Justin Smith. Really had to have someone step up in the 2nd half and that kid went big. Great job. Wow, we need a PG.

Not the prettiest win, and I don't think it was Archie's best night. But this team has really grown. Made winning plays late.  No doubt in December we would have lost this one.

LOVE the Olympic sized rinks for hockey! NHL could learn a thing from the bigger rinks.

Bright spot was al tonight. Negatives pretty much everything else.

And the analyst said it was an easy call. I replayed that three times and I didn't see it. I guess he and I have different definitions of traveling. 

He caught the ball and took 2 steps. Now, you can do that out of a dribble, but not off a catch. I was caught up in it too but, it’s actually really clear if you think about it.

Maybe its just me, but does anyone else prefer watching curling rather than figure skating.  Something about curling - it looks so ridiculous, but yet I can't stop watching it!

I believe Iu clinched a first round bye after that win correct?

I will admit to not watching much NHL but, I am a big fan of the game. Question, I have noticed a few long passes across the center line and through the neutral zone. Does the NHL still have the two-line pass/offsides rule? Is its removal exclusive to Olympic hockey? I don’t remember seeing so many long bomb passes for scoring opportunities.

As I was hitting submit I heard that. Beast mode
 

Don't forget about the 5 blocks.

With more games to go we already have more Big Ten wins this year than we had all of last year! Keep on’em Archie and keep winning Hoosiers!

Rule is gone. Most like that it's gone. Some advocate the rule to be back to limit injuries. I never liked the rule but I'm a hockey player and not some sissy.

Green - welcome back to the doghouse. Such garbage passes. He was just not focused enough. Newkirk had some head scratches but handled the ball very well coming down the stretch. Apparently it's going to take more time to reel Green in. Best passes of the night came from Morgan and the Mcswain to Durham backcut.

 

Rojo - shaky at the end but I'm not mad at him. He really hounds the best opposing guard every game. Dude is a legit defender with great body positioning most of the time. Good rebounder too.

We’ve all been down on Newkirk lately—but I have to give him some props because he helped us tonight. Made some big shots and plays down the stretch. Pine time can be a good motivator. Hope it has the same effect on Devonte and he explodes next game versus Iowa.
