No PT for Bates today?

He's not there. Had a death in the family.

Thanks. I must’ve missed that.

I like the Hoosiers winning, but I hate the inconsistency.

Damn, we just let them straight line drive us after a FT.

I see doing it only once wasn't good enough. We showed effort to allow it again!

We'll exit the crossroads classic as the team with the best record in its histroy.

Did Fife learn anything at MSU???

You'd hope.  Of course Crean was there too and we know he didn't.

That means we are the best team in Indiana right? RIGHT?

Welp, if you told me this morning that we'd win by 8, have 4 guys in double digits, and shoot 40% from downtown, I'd be pretty happy.

So I'm pretty happy. 

It's a W.

First win away from Assembly Hall.  

[Whoozhers 3,638]

Does that “feel” like a W?

Or a struggle from start to finish?

I avoided another game thread lol. Good win far from perfect game.

Yay, we won!!

Still so much to work on and fix. This style of play beats not so good teams and teams with far inferior talent but it won't play in the Big 1.0.

Yes.....if you mean in Indianapolis, one day a year, middle of December for the past 11 years.

Ummmm.....yes.  That's what happens when the number on your side is larger than the number on the other side.

If you can't enjoy wins, I don't know why you would watch.

I normally don't have any problems with Matt Painter, but I couldn't help but feel his comments before the games today were a bit of a veiled shot at IU. 

"It would be great for us if we could keep doing this. I think it would be great for everybody. I don't quite understand why it's going away. It doesn't add up. I know Butler wants to keep doing it." 

 

Seems like a narrative is in progress to make it look like IU was too good for the event and ruined it for everyone else. 

[Dave from Dayton 2,581]

Hey, a win!

[LamarCheeks 16,824]

I know the Toiletmakers played out of their minds today, but the difference between us and them is staggering.

They can have fun this time next year when we're playing Kansas and they're playing Chicago St.
