Little Fran with the made shot that TJD tipped + Bohannon with the fortunate banked in 3  pointer spelled the difference in this one.  

Defend the other 10+ wide open threes and you make your own luck. Add TJD missing a dunk, Race not lobbing to TJD again, and many other plays. You can point to a few plays and call it the difference. You can't control those. You can control not allowing them to get WIDE OPEN looks. LIttle Fran's shot looked on line and when TJD deflected it it went in. It might have had a chance the other way too.

I’m really not mad at losing and glad we’re playing as well as we are. So sick of always being the team on the wrong end of lucky bounces.

IU played a great game and got unlucky.  I'm not sure why there is so much complaining. 

It's basically one guy spamming his outlook on life.

Probably cause we didn’t do enough to guard the 3

Good run. We controlled that game from start to finish really. Lucky bank shot. Not much you can do. Biggest moment of the game I’m disappointed in is that long rebound Kopp got with 2:30 left and IU up three. He hoists it. Gotta pull that out. You’re a senior. You’re 2-11 from the field. Ugh. Shoulda coulda. 

I agree. Hate to keep harping on those guys (Stewart and kopp), but that’s a time and situation awareness issue. Kopp just isn’t a real smart player.  
 

The miss lead to a quick rebound and answer on the other end.

Next year, yes. 

He made a three pointer to end the half.  You had to at least see if something clicked. Not saying no minutes for Stewart and K but cmon.

Losing Jordan with an ACL injury is going to make this a long weekend. 

He almost played today. Pretty sure it’s not an ACL injury and pretty sure this has been a fantastic weekend for Indiana basketball.

If JG is healthy, he likely would have been guarding Murray quite a bit.

Great to see he was out there dressed and was game time decision— should be there for start of ncaa tourney, that’s big

IU played a great game and got unlucky.  I'm not sure why there is so much complaining. 

Exactly this. Played well enough to win but lost on a fluke 3. Trey was actually in great position guarding Bohannon but lucky shot went in.
Still gives IU momentum going to the tournament and hope they get a decent seed

This team can't get a lead and hold it because these players relax whenever they get a lead. 

I don’t know about relaxing but we missed a ton of open shots.

[Banksyrules]

Anyway good run.  If we had decent refs calling a better game we would have been in easy.

We led by 9 with like 5 minutes left. It never should have been tied 

Don't miss an opportunity to cr@p your pants, brother!

[Whoozhers]

X’s TO started our downfall. He played so well, too.

Exactly. This is what we've all been waiting for.  This team looks confident and ready to compete with anyone. 

[bleedhoosier]

We got March, TJD is amazing, X confidence is through the roof, Miller has JV level basketball  IQ which is maddening to watch every game. 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Just stop

Exactly

Bates? I’d take Bates easy. 

Yeah, because he has been a deadly shooter.

[Bigred3588]

Didn’t get to watch the game but I see on the box score we gave up 48 points in the second half. Can’t really b**** about a half court shot with that kind of defensive (lack of) effort
