Funny, not funny moment. 

Barnhizer dunking on a fast break and landing on his face. 

Hope he's OK, but jeez ... 

I think we know why he looks like he does.

Was Hulls not on the Bench tonight?

It could be pretty nasty in SSAH next Sunday afternoon.  And of course, the game gets a national broadcast on CBS.

NOON game the kids won’t bother showing

Had to break his nose.

I shouldn’t have to say this, though I will anyways. I’m not making excuses…

But I just saw on Ant’s Twitter that Scirotto is a NW grad? How is that allowed?

It's not the first time but I think he doesn't have a degree but has some sort of law enforcement cert or something from there.

He had to wipe the blood off of his cookie duster.

Let me guess, “Again, it’s tough to win on the road in our conference.”

[RaceToTheTop]

Not that it matters, but I would an explanation on why Leal's dunk was basket interference.  There was someone (Berry) directly underneath him.  So what is he supposed to do in that circumstance?

Would the ball have stayed in the basket if he hadn't hung on?  Don't know.  But if he's legally allowed to hang on the rim by rule (player safety), how can it be basket interference?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

I didn't even listen to Fisch tonight.  Anyone that did, let us know if Woody showed up for a post-game with Fisch.

[LIHoosier]

No Woody with Fisch tonight, Fisch claims there were technical difficulties but (sorry for the pun), it sounds fishy to me.

And he won't do the Monday night thing either.

Indiana players pretty tired, out of shape, and hungry.  Time to get dressed and go to an upscale Chicago establishment and get something to eat.  The team does have an image to uphold.

Now, Fish is saying he is having hookup problems for post game comments from coach.  Still stalling and waiting….going over game and stats…Still waiting….to see if there is going to be any comments from coach….Still have problems with locker room hookup….going to another long long longer commercial….Upon return to Fish post game comments still technical issues and NO COACH MIKE WOODSON COMMENTS TONIGHT.  Fish said it was not coach Woodson’s fault this time.  He didn’t decline but is on his way to big ten post game conference (where he probably has more friends around other big ten teams).

I think I said this at the start of the year, and I mean this in no disrespect to him, but if Anthony Leal is playing major minutes for this team, we are screwed. Top 5 in NIL and a guy averaging 1.8 points a game for his career is starting. I am curious how much they spent on Carlyle to come to Indiana and for Galloway to return. To me, this isn't a knock on Anthony. It's more so a knock on the "talent" that was brought in... and the evaluator and conductor of this team.

That being said, I'm not a true fan and didn't watch the game. Just box score lurking. I have no doubt he probably played hard. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Side note…how can Anthony Leal be a career 63% free throw shooter?

Played hard….played 28 minutes, took one shot (air ball three), scored 1 point.  Fought for some rebounds, had a couple of nice assists as well as a couple silly turnovers.  Couldn’t guard Berry.

[Dave from Dayton]

IU gave up 54 points in the 2nd half.   All hell broke loose when Woody put in 2 bigs.  Got to defend the 3 and not give up the turnovers.  Mgbako cannot defend.  

Indiana's defense sux at times.  Why?  Reread my first paragraph.
