Demezi  Anderson could shoot too. We need guys who do shoot and have in a college game before. We need guys who have confidence already playing at this level. Two Nick Zeislofts and this team is top 15.  

Do you think Anderson will stay?

I would hope not. Unless he is hurt, why isn't he playing?

[Whoozhers]

Why is Green hobbling/limping around??

A UK loss always makes me feel better but still would’ve loved to seen us win today

Florida did the same thing, lost a big lead!  SMH!

Race was hit in the face by Durham so no flagrant possible. 

Not true. Go back and watch. He was first raked across the face by Ruevers and then fell back and was hit again by Durham.

It was the rake by Ruevers that dislodged him and allowed him to grab the rebound and put it back up for the bucket and a foul. All of which happened AFTER he hit Race in the face.

I could be mistaken but I think they did quickly review Race getting hit in the face....

Nope, and our bench didn’t do a thing to push for it

Unfortunately, UK has consistent shooting. Something I wish IU had

What’s sad to me is how few people stick around to honor the seniors

First seniors in like 50 years to maybe not make the tourney

Has there been  a more disliked 4 year guy than Devonte Green?

For some reason, a lot of people hated Verdell a lot. I never understood it.

Just finished watching the game. Wisconsin made more of their shots and executed better in the last few minutes. We missed a few close ones and a Jerome Hunter 3 that I thought for sure would go in. Can’t complain too much about the rest.

And this is the 4th year in a row in which we did not have better than a .500 record in the Big Ten. The last time that happened was during the 1930-1934 seasons.

I agree. Many were pissed that he was not a great player but he never had “great player” talent. I was just glad he gutted it out during some tough years.

We are seeing unparalleled things at IU that’s for sure

yeah...we don't have 20 wins

Wow, didn't know that. Hopefully we have another game before Selection Sunday. 

[HinnyHoosier]

Just finished watching. Finally didn’t have someone text me or see an ESPN update to ruin the outcome for me.

Bleep Wis-bleeping-consin and our bleeping inept bleeping offense.

I think some people cannot even visualize rules of social engagement that do not include a hero and a scapegoat.  Without those two characters created, they are lost, and they will try to create them for the rest of us often employing the underlying fundamental principal that if you say something enough times, then it becomes true.

Look around you.  Even though it is a dying social model, many, many, many people know no other rules of social engagement, and could never conceive living in a world where a hero and a scapegoat do not exist.  The possibility that other, more successful social models even exist has never entered their imagination.  Many people live according to social rules of engagement that do not use the hero/scapegoat model, but I am nearly certain you have noticed that lots and lots of people need the comfort a hero and a scapegoat provide in order to navigate their journeys through their respective worlds, primarily consisting of groups filled with like-minded people.  It's easier in the short term that way.

Such an excellent take.

Verdell Jones, for instance, was/is a really good guy that had many many good and not as good moments as a dedicated, motivated Hoosier b-ball player.

When Verdell got hurt in that BTT game his SR season I felt as badly for him as I've ever felt for an athlete. He was asked to be something he wasn't capable of being but he always brought effort I thought.
