3 on Lander/Rob/Durham

[Hoosierfan2017 21,726]

So is that not a travel on Cockburn? It didn’t look like TJD touched the ball.

Archie going back to the "old guard" screwed us. 

[Banksyrules 4,880]

Call a timeout

[kreigh8 2,095]

Geronimo hands are active. Wish he'd get more run

That literally means nothing. But I guess that makes Nikola Jokic a point guard. 

It means you are a record stuck on Al Durham on everything and refuse to look at how poorly Phinissee is.  You're a broken record.

I don't know if it would've done anything, but it would've been cool if Fisch's filter left about 2003. I'm still praying for a Fisch tell-all if/when he retires. I don't know if any of the current reporters that cover IU would be brave enough to write it. Is Hammel still kicking?

Sure is. He frequents the local sit-down chains with Knight. Or did pre-COVID, anyway.

Already noted at how bad Phinisee is. But he actually gets pulled. Durham continues playing no matter how bad he is most of the time.

Cool. When Knight had a book tour in 2013, I got a book signed by RMK while Hammel was standing in the corner. I tried to say Hi to Hammel but I was shooed away. This was on Long Island the night after IU was given a 1 seed. I'm surprised Hammel was making the book tour rounds.

[Stuhoo 81,567]

Too much to ask to hope that Lander would be good enough two halves in a row.

Lander and Leal have been a wreck this half. Durham and Phin not much better

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

Beshanviliviasod looked shocked he was called for a foul after mauling the ball handler.  That's ONLY his 15th time doing it but first foul.

[LamarCheeks 19,309]

No. 15 took about 5 steps there.

The irony that a media member is the person that he probably spends more time with than anyone besides his wife is pretty great. I’ve seen Knight around town a handful of times and every time Hammel was with him.

Stop. Missing. Free. Throws. 

[Stuhoo 81,567]

Can we win this game from the line?!?

[Josh 12,681]

Those two blocks were awesome

[TheWatShot 14,186]

Being in the double bonus with 11 minutes to go would be nice if we actually made free throws more often. 

[Stuhoo 81,567]

Double bonus for rest of game

Not if Race Thompson keeps being the one shooting them. 

[Hovadipo 56,635]

Hoping this game ends before the B1G tourney starts.
