Courtside national tv interview with Rob:

 

Announcer: ”Rob; is that the biggest shot of your career?”

Rob: “Yeah. So far.”

 

Yes Hoosier Nation, there’s more and better yet to come.

Juwan was good at putting the ball through the hoop today. (Understatement)

We still need a solid consistent third option on offense. I do believe we’ll get some of the little things (cutter zigging while passer zagging) figures out as the season goes along.

I think it can be Rob if he just chooses to shoot a little more often.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,528]

Christmas came early for me today.  I had to play grandpa and spend the afternoon at the natatorium watching my grandson swim so I wasn't able to watch the game.  His parents and my oldest daughter are all Butler grads and I have the bragging rights until we meet again!!

I started reading this thread on page 4, and laughed as much as if I was watching The Blues Brothers -- it really helps to know the outcome before you start to read.  Suddenly, on page 24, their was a seismic shift in the content.   

Page 4 offered this classic line from IUsince1980:  "Don't get too cocky about Purdue losing today because IU will be following suit. This team will not beat a fundamentally sound Butler. Butler just has out number."   Do you like your crow rare, medium or well done?

Kudos to HoosierDYT who starting on page 6, was probably the most sane poster throughout the day.

Page 13 from Fleek in a despondent sounding post:   "I guess Rob is our unquestioned shot taker in those moments. It’s always him."    Fast forward to Wayne on page 24:  "Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!"

Page 17 this classic from Fleek:   "I’m glad I didn’t spend hundreds of dollars to be there like I was planning. It would be even more devastating."    Kicking yourself now Wayne?   lol

Page 20, colonel06 called it:  This is going to come down to: “For the Winnn!”   

And the best of all the seismic shift on page 24 from our resident Dukie - BlueDevil:  "OH MY GOD ROB"

All in all, it's probably just as well that I didn't watch the game because my supply of bp meds is running low.  Incredible game and a great day to be an IU fan.

We struggled with Purdue fans all day around us. To the point there were words said back and forth a couple of times. They were rubbing it in while we were down 10 and then we came back. What a great day to POTFB!!!!!!

They forgot they had just lost to a Notre Dame team that’s not even as good as that Butler team

I think they were trying to make themselves feel better. Didn’t work.

Noah Vonleh was in attendance just behind Oladipo. Looked like he liked that game winner like the rest of us.

We have another Yogiesque player growing up right before our eyes!

To be honest, I hated the way that play was looking until Phinisee ripped their heart out.  That kid is going to end up having the best weekend of his life so far.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel completely exhausted after watching this team play? The highs and lows during those 40min feel as though my chest will implode at any second.

Yep. Would really love 3 easy wins in a row. Then another competitive win on Jan 6

Archie now 2-0 being a coach in the Crossroads Classic. With the way recruiting is going, I can see that "0" staying there for a while.

Exhausted yes, however, I have a totally different feeling in games where we are down a possession or 2 and under 5 min left in a game in most recent years! Yes it is frustrating watching the come from behind, close back and forths knowing that any mistake can lose it all, but the last few games have given me a new found confidence that it’s likely going to be ok and we can still win it. The defensive turn around the past year and a half is almost spectacular! Besides the pUKE game, our defense has kept us in games, and it is refreshing to say the least! Continue working out the kinks, and keep racking up the Ws, go Hoosiers!

Both took ridiculous efforts by one guy. 70 points in those two games is nuts

Has anybody else noticed that Rob is on pace to set the IU all time steals record already as long as we play 34 games a year.

They care more about IU losing than their own team winning. Every year it’s like that at the Crossroads. Honestly funny
