Hopefully this time we don't get the twins mixed up and let the inferior one go off on us again.

That’s great company!!!  Alan Henderson was one of the best players in IU history!!!

No doubt. He was always a little overshadowed by Cheaney, but he was a player.

How is Cockburn pronounced Co-burn? I'm not buying it!

Because he is a big man and he threatens anyone that pronounces it correct.

I was hoping it could be JG, but that seems questionable now.

We probably guard him normal and let him get his 20+ points but we stop everyone else like we did today. One player cannot beat us unless he scores 50.

If Henderson doesn't get injured in 1993, there would be a sixth banner hanging in Assembly Hall.

I firmly believe that too but you can go all the way back to 1975 and if Scott May hadn’t broken his arm, could have been 9.

We have made a lot of fun of Kofi Cockburn in his time at Illinois, hopefully all in good fun, but he is an easy young man to root for. He just plays without acting crazy or complaining about calls. I hate that he plays for them, but I have tremendous respect for him.

Kent Sterling - Indiana cost Brad Underwood a $15K bonus today! Win AND take cash from your opponent’s coach? suhWEET!

Two BTT wins in a row. Something Sampson, Crean & Archie never did I believe.

I think Miller only won 1 game total in the BTT.

Most of that team is painfully likable with the massive exception of Curbelo. I know some people that know Kofi and he’s always been described as a giant teddy bear and great guy.
 

(Wish he’d stop using his damn elbows to spin in the post though!)

All those years of going to the BTT in Indy and leaving disappointed it’s good to see us finally have a little success. My 75 yr old mother went to the game today. First time she has ever been to an IU game. Glad she got to see a W!

Did that one even count? Hoiberg almost died on court then the rest of the tournament understandably was cancelled.

That'd be so fitting with the Miller error, I mean era.  Win one game and it doesn’t even count.

I'm watching the game now....wtf Bardo?  X claps at a foul call, Curbello bows up on him, Bardo blames X?  Ridiculous Bardo Homer.

It hit 0.0 at the end, so yes

Did you see the replay of him elbowing Curbello? He has to keep his head in one and done situations. We can't lose him over something stupid with the way he has been playing.

I just rewound it again...I don't see that.  He started clapping and walking to the basket and Curbello walks over and contacts him.  Am I nuts?

Edit:  ok a little bit I guess.  Thanks for pointing it out

Bardo was a homer today but X put his elbow into Curbello.
