Anything said about Tucker staring down our bench after hitting his first three?

I saw that too.

Unfortunately I can't get creative by switching the T and the F.  Either way its a cuss word and I don't want warned.  LOL!

I rewatched the game. How in the hell did they get those charging calls? They worse than Dookies flops. In at least two instances, they ran at the Indiana ball handler with their hands up and chest out. How do you get a call like that?!

Those types of charges are the least athletic plays in basketball and they need to do something about it. It is also the #butlerway

They weren’t even close to charges though. I would hope that the referees would see how terrible those calls were but I’m sure they’re listening to how they should be calling the next game....

No.  I'm from Decatur, but I haven't lived there in almost 25 years.

According to the coach's poll Indiana is still only the 8th best team in the Big Ten.  

I've always liked watching underdog Indiana teams.  It's fun to watch a team we all know deserves to be in the top ten, but it was always a bit more fun for me to watch a team with fewer expectations climb out from "overlooked" status and become a contender...thinking back to the 2002 season with Coverdale, Moye, Jeffries, Newton, Fife, etc.

Refs not calling fouls just reacting to the flops. What about the push off call on Romeo in the corner when he hit the three? Didnt think that was a foul from where I was sitting.

At times, it’s difficult to know if the refs are officiating the same game I’m watching. It seems announcers have been pointing that out a bit more this season than in previous seasons.

I’m still clueless on what the officials were looking at on those charge calls. If they would have wrapped up and not flopped backwards they would have been perfect form tackles yet they were called a charge. The Butler players were coming in from the side too.

I couldn’t see that one clearly from deep in the corner. I would have thought they were giving the offensive player the benefit of the doubt with what Baldwin was doing on 50% of his drives but they got Romeo on that one. Odd...

We've had a little discussion about Archie's reaction to Rob's shot and also Crean's reaction to CWat's dagger.  How about this reaction from The General after Jay Edwards stuck a fork in Michigan

We are not a top 10 team right now. Haven’t been all year either. We turn it over way too much

I think Archie sees it as a busted up play so isn’t too happy about that. Better to be lucky than good I guess

Who has claimed we are a top 10 team nationally? The poll you quoted was saying that the polls ranked us as if we were ‘worse’ than 7 other big ten teams..

Thank you.  I never once claimed Indiana should be in the top 10.  I wouldn't put them anyplace close.  However, there are at least a couple Big10 teams the coach's feel are better than Indiana that I can't help but question.  That, though, never suggested Indiana should be in the top ten.

I see the reason he thought I suggested that, but if he reads more closely I was saying they are not top ten worthy and that it's sometimes fun to watch a team progress and climb the rankings.  However, I am still not saying they will climb to top ten this season.  I would say it's pretty doubtful, but there's always a chance if they play up to their ranked, higher quality opponents and not play down to the lesser teams.

Don't think he meant this year's team. Think he was talking in general we like watching a team that is underrated.

I didn't realize we have a 5-3 record in the Crossroads Classic, tied with Butler for the best record. Notre Dame at 4-4 and pu at 2-6...

It'll be two years until we can have the best record outright because Butler will beat the snot out of pu next season.

Really not fair that we have to play a legit team every year. Notre Dame and Butler don’t.
