It's a Win and that is what matters. Get some rest and come out with energy next game.

The Q is….. WHY do we have to make it so HARD?!?

Hummel is one of the best in the business and has a bright future.  Great announcers admit when they made a mistake.

I’m also a big fan of Hummel and he is also one of the very, very, very few players I have liked while they were at Purdue.

Loved his game but it was too bad he was injury prone.

[Alford Bailey]

Holy Cow! Talk about doing JUST enough to win!

[monskisprodigy]

Just win baby!!

Cant believe we didn’t foul there up 3…

Was trying to figure out how he was calling it off TJD at first. He knows basketball and is up there with Walton as best in biz for different reasons.

Well, this team continues to show it CAN win ugly and that’s a great thing for March. Need X back badly because the team looked a step slow.

Thank you bAsketball gods for delivering us a much needed win. Man……

Take the W in any way possible. Now going to watch Tennessee give up their 3 seed to us in peace.

IU 1 more win away from shutting me up about the no winning conference record since 2016.     Another win against a tournament type team.  Building on that 13th overall resume.    Smart of IU to play 1 possession win so that Illinois’s Net doesn’t drop out of Q1(kidding or am I lol)

How about no more noon tipoffs this year, mmmk? 

Agreed!  I get drunk too early in the day with noon games

Nice play Gallo to TJD!  So lucky to get this win!

That was way too close for comfort. This team definitely has a ceiling come March - not sure if its effort or they're just gassed. But the scoring droughts are an issue. I will admit I jumped the gun on wanting Reneau in for Race, Race is looking a lot better without the brace the last few games. I'm really surprised JHS is mocked as highly as he is. If he is not mocked in the lottery after the season, I'd be thinking about a sophomore season if I were him. 

Win and move on. Tough week ahead

I need to create a second account so I can both like and put a laughing emoji on this post.

I'm already having nightmares about our first round game against a 12 or 13 seed with a midday tipoff where we sleepwalk through the first half.

I'm not kidding, thanks for leaving the door open 

Reece Davis said IU shut the door with the TJD dunk at the end.  Happy now?

People forget how there have been bench players in college who end up as first round picks.  Ultimately JHS has a higher NBA ceiling than a player like Romeo Langford did because Langford can't shoot.  Langford was a 14th pick.

We lack enough discipline (how many TOs), basketball IQ, and effort is still optional at times. Also, we are slow to adjust in getting TJD moving on offense when the post and pray (stop moving) scheme is taken away.

[RaceToTheTop]

I want every game to tip at noon on the weekend.  Zero chance of the game before running over into it.

[Alford Bailey]

Rough day for JHS but that lead pass to half court not many have the guts to make that play
