Honestly, up until him fouling Maldanado on the 3, I thought Stewart played his best defensive game of the year (I know that's not saying much).  Stewart was on Maldanado a lot and we played him straight up.  This was his 127th college game.....and he's never had a game with TEN turnovers.

 

Parker was by far the best in guarding him.

So does IU fly to Oregon tonight?

That's what I believe they said on the radio.

Bates didn't see the floor in the second half or did I miss it? Woodson gun shy on returning to him?

He was in some in the last few mins

That'd be silly. Go in the AM, you gain 3 hours going West and "****" they 20 yr olds. They better be able to deal with it!

I was going to say something similar. Stewart was really bad on offense but I’m sure he stayed in for his D. He made Maldonado (which is Spanish for “I fall down when I shoot a three”) really work for what he could get on offense.

If, IF, we are clicking we are a 12 seed nightmare  for other teams. Wyoming was rated in the top 25 during the season and we beat them with only 1 of our starters having a good game. If X and Race get it together we can beat St Mary’s.

Thanks God some are seeing the bright side here.

I bet Vegas slightly favors St. Mary's but not by much.  It will be a pick em game.

Is there any reason why the NCAA couldn't have us playing the late game in Portland on Thursday? 

UCLA-Akron doesn't necessarily have to be the second game (or fourth overall), does it? 

Just seems as if they're putting us at a disadvantage when they don't have to ...

Fly out tonight. 
 

Rest in morning, light shoot around tomorrow afternoon.

Saint Mary beat Gonzaga so give them credit. It will be a battle I hope more than two players have a good game. Not knocking anyone but we will have to be better to win than we were tonight.

While I'm not really either, this win was satisfying and I'm already sold on the building for the future. We made the tourney in Woodson's first season after not seeing it since Crean. This is a good night.

Given the plight of IU basketball before Woodson took over this year I'd say he's doing just fine.  The roster is what it is. 

Makes sense, just happy IU stepped on the floor tonight...

We need to get smarter. If you're good with our team making dumb play after dumb play good for you. That severely limits our ceiling though.

It’s a good 12-5 upset look - still an upset but IU is very much capable

The NCAA should have had the Dayton games at 1:00 and 3:30.  We would have already landed in Portland. 
 

EDIT. of cour$e the NC$$ would not have afternoon games even though it$ all about the student$$$ athlete$$$

St. Mary’s opened as 2.5 points favorites.

St. Mary's has a top 10 defense. Our offense...yeah. 

They do.  But their offensive offensive is worse than Wyoming's.  They'll play very slow.  Don't shoot a lot of threes.  Great free throw shooting team but hardly get there....only getting 13 and a half free throws per game.

It will be interesting to see if that moves towards IU which is what I'd predict

Either send the 1st 4 winners to places a little closer to Dayton or have a Wednesday 1st 4 site further west and have the Dayton winners on Tuesday go to the East and Midwest and the new site send winners to the South and West
