Indiana Hoosiers vs Ohio St. Buckeyes - 12pm ET Tip-off

[LamarCheeks 18,982]

OSU guy misses a shot. We have three guys under the hoop -- and no one from OSU. The ball hits one of our guys on the hands and goes out of bounds. ... This is gonna get out of hand real soon. ... I can easily see a 25-point loss.

Just the littlest s*** happens to this team. For example both these offensive rebounds I mean come on, players don’t even look pissed.

I’ve never seen other teams send their big as far up as we do to hedge the pg. seems to accomplish nothing but make our defense scramble to recover to shooters

It ALWAYS creates a 2 on 1 for a guy near the paint and allows an open layup or 3. Every team we play sets that up to create that scenario umpteen times a game.

GIVE TJD THE MOTHER******* BALL

The biggest thing about this program right now is that I just don’t understand why any top tier recruits would want to play in this system.

Never thought I'd say "can't wait until football season" during an IU basketball season, but here we are. 

[LamarCheeks 18,982]

OSU misses a 3. De'Ron has great position for a board. The ball bounces off his hands and out of bounds. 

Good grief. 

[Bobman1 2,909]

Again! God d***** these missed boards are pretty much turnovers.

Or even in the Big 10, honestly. Why would a perimeter player want to come here and deal with more contact than the football team?

[Hovadipo 56,266]

Back to back muggings causing us to drop a rebound and OSU to drop a pass is “good ole fashioned B1G basketball” according to Hummel but “absolute dogs**t peewee basketball” to anyone not getting paid by the conference. 

[Bobman1 2,909]

Can we please feed it to the post and just see what happens?

I blame the ugly pink shoes...

[Demo 20,093]

Best defensive possession of the game.

[DLG3 1,067]

I’m out. No fire, no leadership, no heart. As a player, how do you not get fed up with it. Not worth my time 

Same. I’m done man, better things I can be doing than watching this trash.

Baseball starts in a couple weeks; they're competent.

If Green called that bank pass off the OSU player to TJD doesn’t it count as an assist?

That's something I hate about having the BTN (I realize this game is on ESPN) : being property of the conference, they are never going to point out crappy officiating.

As a White Sox fan this a decent dry run with Benetti, just wish I were watching a better product on the basketball court. IU makes it very difficult to get excited for

Unless you're a made guy like Bilas or maybe the trustee on CBS, nothing's gonna happen in that regard. Hummel's a 30 year old guy who wants a cushy gig the next 20-30 years. Why would he rock the boat?
