Jay Williams: "You can tell I'm wordy with my words" 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Ok

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

Down by 7 is actually better than I expected.  

[FortWayneHoosier]

Malik, has been huge for us. He has really smoothed out his game in 3 halves of ball. 

[Hovadipo]

Hell of an end to the half. Needed that badly. 

[HoosierTrav]

I can’t even watch. X is 6 years deep and plays like a freshman. Continuously. We play hockey lineups and get the same damn results every single time. Our guards STINK. Mbako is an absolute dud. Ware is the player we have that would start on any competitive teams. 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Spencer is in foul trouble now

[TheWatShot]

Nice little run to get back in it. Doesn't feel like we're going to win, but that was encouraging. 

[tyappleg]

Honestly a nice job taking that punch.  Getting it to 7 at half was impressive.

[kreigh8]

Smart 20 minutes by X. Pound the ball into Reneau anytime Karaban is matched up with him and find somebody on defense and box out and IU can win this. IU can take advantage of Spencer and Karaban just need to be solid defensively

[schoosier]

I knew Jay was against us after we waxed him his last college game. Now I know he married a Hoosier! F Duke

[FortWayneHoosier]

At the half. 

[monskisprodigy]

If this team just had 1 knockdown shooter, just 1!!! They have a chance to be very good with that missing piece.

Tom Coverdale lives in Jay Williams head rent free. 

Does Coverdale have eligibility left?

[JSHoosier]

They have almost as many offensive rebounds as we have total rebounds. The team should be doing rebounding drills until they can barely move. 

Reneau has been good but someone else has to step up in the 2nd half but it won't matter if we don't hit the boards or guard the 3 for once.

[Hoosier1984]

X just picked up his 4th foul walking back to the locker room.

[Stuhoo]

Probably won’t win this one, but there are some pieces on this IU team.

Malik is a helluva guy to have to guard for opponents. They’re gonna double team the **** out him next half.

Hope he can be quicker with what to do when he gets the ball. Felt like he got away with a walk trying to get through a double in the first half

Malik Reneau is having a phenomenal game!  I wish we could surround him with shooters
