I consider it IU paying me to watch basketball

One of the best comebacks I have witnessed. Bottle up what Woody said to TJD at half and combine it with the technical that got the officials to finally start giving us some calls. This one’s for Coach.

Polly -- my 11-year-old hound mix -- is used to my yelling during a game. But when we make a great play -- I always clap. 

And when I do, she comes running and wants to play. I feel so bad because when we've cut a 17-point deficit to 3 late in the second half, I can't take time to play. LOL! 

My 3 year old human was on my case about why a team called "The Michigans" was wearing yellow and navy because, obviously, that's the colors that the Pacers wear and "The Indianas" don't normally play against the Pacers. I politely told him I'd explain everything after the game, but now is not the time to discuss amateurism. He called me a nerd and went to play with his Hulk and Spiderman toys.

TJD is Hulk.

Jordan Geronimo is Spiderman. 

Now you can play too.

Love me some Geronimo hugs.

I will be perfectly honest and admit I did not watch nor did I listen to the game and instead opted for yard work.  Truly didn't expect us to win.  Shocked doesn't describe my reaction when I came into the house and learned we'd won and with a comeback for the ages no less.  Reading through this thread is like reading A Tale of  Two Cities.  The first 15 pages - the worst of times.  Then on page 16, there's an ever so slight shift in the comments and by page 20, some posters are even starting to apologize for comments they made somewhere in the first 15 pages!  From Page 22 forward - the best of times.

An absolutely great day to be a Hoosier.  Let's do it again tomorrow.

I agree!!! The offense finally flowed!  Where has this been all year!  Geronimo played well too!

Our D was spectacular the last 12 minutes.  We played decent D all year, but nothing as smothering as that 

The offense flowed more because we got out in transition the second half. 10 turnovers by your opponent will allow you to do that. Players hitting shots will help space and TJD not going through the motions helps a lot too.

We'll need to muck up the game against the Ill, force whoever is on Race to defend, and hopefully get some XJ - TJD PnR action against Plummer and Kofi.

Anybody got a link to the post game presser?

Credit to the guys being positive at pg 15. I caught us at the 3 min mark and still didn’t feel confident we’d win. Lol

I had a friend who texted me the whole game who went from firing the coaches at halftime to saying it was the best half in the last 10 years and making the tournament. The Tale of two halves is an understatement.

I haven't read the thread. I doubt I will. Everyone remembers Dennis Hopper's character in Hoosiers jumping on the bed after Jimmy hit the shot. It wasn't that extreme, but I was definitely doing something similar driving to my Dr's appointment at the Illiana VA Healthcare Medical Center. I had a lot of crazy looks from people passing me.

Iturned the game on SiriusXM B1G Radio heard we were down 17, so I decided turned on the news and watch at home. Turned it back and saw we were down 8. Listened to the rest.

TJD needs to take the second half tape against Dickinson to his interviews.

[JSHoosier]

I think Woodson already has as many BTT wins as Miller did.

Crap, are we friends in real life?
