Not going to lie I wrote them off before half time. What a great comeback. I still can’t believe it. Wow

Never in doubt baby!!!

You would think the team feels the difference between the first and second half e and e. This team plays so much better playing chaos ball that gets them out in transition.

Well being in  the desert counting fallow deer seems to have worked . Guess il filled feeders tomorrow go Hooisers.

My meeting ended with 10 minutes to go in the game. I made everyone sit in the conference room till the game was over since we were playing so well. Wow not sure what happened but so happy

Great win! Wish Wisconsin beat Nebraska the other night would have loved to play them again over Illinois.

I think it was even a little more than just separating Stewart and Kopp, I think not having Race in there helped unclog the lane a little more. Nothing against Race, but it sometimes seems that the lane gets way to crowded way too quickly at times.

I just didn't think Race brought the energy today either which could be a reason for the energy shift.  I expect him to be ready tomorrow.

If it isn’t obvious already to everyone, XJ is the best player on our basketball team. Don’t let your early season memories cloud your judgement. 

And he is 100% hungry.  Don’t confuse his fire for hot headedness.

At work so couldn't watch but sounds like an incredible comeback by the Hoosiers!

Dickinson absolutely disappeared.  Think at one point he had 15 points and TJD had 9.

Somebody should check on Brass.

So if we get in as a 12 seed... Do we want St. Mary's, Texas, Houston or UConn? Guarantee a game against Houston.

Nothing against Race because he's been good most of the year, but today just wasn't his day.  IU made that run with him on the bench and rightfully so.  I expect to see a different player come out against Illinois

I sure hope you’re right Pilot.

WHAT A GAME TO BE AT

 

WOW. WILL POST MY THOUGHTS LATER.

[ebridges24]

Looks like from the box score, our bench was the difference.

[colonel06]

GERONIMO!!

[IUFAN1976]

What a comeback! Where has this team been? They finally closed out a close game! Great win!!!!

GO HOOSIERS!!!!

We forced UM into 10 TO's in the 2nd half, that's some badazzz ball. 

Really liking X's fire on both ends, he is the key difference at this point -- along with TJD waking up and running p&r with X, Galloway's all around play, and support from Geronimo et al. -- Need Race back in form tomorrow, he's usually key as well
