A win. Really good for about 15-20 minutes. Really bad for about the same or more. Hope AF is back very soon

It's a win boys. Would be awesome if we get a surprise and Armaan is ready to go for little brother.

He's really been one of our best players with Armaan out. 

Yeah, I have no problem with him being out there.

[rcbowla 8,282]

Al Durham. Imo was the key to pulling that one out

Situational basketball. Freshman with very little game time are prone to foul late in games when it’s the last thing we want. A good coach would know better

There are probably at least 5 games that would have been worse. If I really cared enough, I could look into it.

Really hope there is alcohol involved with some of the posting...

Wasn't pretty, rarely is, but glad they were able to respond to their self-imposed adversity.

On to purdoodoo back in Btown!

Whoa....I hope you're not badmouthing alcohol

Good job finishing Hoosiers

The first 15 or so minutes of this game, I was taken aback by how bad Nebraska looked. And we had to grind out a win against them.

What are Al’s free throw numbers this season? Seems like it can’t be too good.

With today(3-6) Al's 25/38, 65.7%. Last year he was 81%

Good golly are they lucky. Win is a win but nothing to cool Archie's seat. 

Please! Coach Knight had plenty of games just like this. Under performed, but found a way to win. The narrative is tiresome.

You can have games like these when you hang 3 banners. When is the last time we won a conference game convincingly? When is the last time adjustments were made to postively impact the outcome? Archie is a mediocre coach until he proves otherwise

Coach night won a national championship his 4th year. And won a big ten title his second year. Stop acting like it took a decade for Knight

Worst case was Phin's injury was bad and we lose without him second half.

Thought that was probably's TJD's worst game of the year (still ended up at 15 and 10) -- or at the minimum Nebraska did enough to keep it out of his hands in the first half.  35 points between Phin and Al was big.  Thought this was also one of the best games I've seen from Hunter. I think the most disappointing thing wasn't the threes we gave up -- but rather the string of time where their offense was simply isolation plays and our guards were getting beat.

Lost to Indiana State 69-90

Lost to IPFW 72-92

Lost at Michigan State 57-85

Lost to Rutgers 69-76(B1G Tourney)

That's just in Archie's first year. 

[cthomas 6,695]

We played a well rested Nebraska team, after a disappointing double overtime loss without our second leading scorer again, and found a way to win after blowing a big lead. Multiple guys stepped up and made game winning plays. If you're not happy with that, I've got nothing for you.

Bad shot selection (contested jumpers) that led to transition offense and us not getting back in transition along with them spreading the floor and driving was what let them back into the game.  We were really good on defense early in the season but have definitely slipped since.

Almost feels like some are disappointed we made plays down the stretch to close out the game.
