While I was at the forum tipoff classic at southport I went up and talked to Fran before the Fort Wayne Snyder game ( Fran was tracking Malik Williams) I wished him luck in the B1G and asked how he liked his team heading into the conference season. I told him I thought they were underrated compared to the rest of the upper tier teams, he smiled and said he loved the toughness of this years team and didn't mind being overlooked. His team showed toughness today. I will root for them a little more this year when we are not playing them just because he took took time out of his day to talk some college and high school basketball with a Hoosier fan

Agree with BlueDevil on this one. We gripe about Crean but Painter got WAY outcoached today.

[Uspshoosier 50,867]

HAHAHA!

But Purdue is a Final 4 contender!!!!

Man what a bunch of pretenders. They haven't beaten anybody and now blew a colossal lead at home. I love it.

they have beaten Vanderbilt (ken Pom 17), Florida (ken Pom 24), and Pittsburg ( ken Pom 26 on the road) but I agree they still suck

Maryland with a great start against NW.

 

NW not getting many calls and Maryland has them playing too fast.  This one will get ugly if NW does not settle down.

Oklahoma and Iowa st in a good one. Oklahoma has been down most of the game but are up 4 with 4 minutes to play

An Iowa/PUke post-game quote from Jared Uthoff, "We played with a set of nuts."

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Yes---I will say the Iowa/Purdue game was awesome compared to the IU/Nebraska or NW/Maryland game.  Those two teams are legit and brought it tonight.  Heavyweight battle! Purdue won first half and Iowa won second half. Iowa took the game.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

For all this pro-Northwestern talk I've been hearing, I have to say I am disappointed. They are not better than IU. Way overrated in my opinion. Maryland taking them to the woodshed in Evanston ---38-16.

UK and Duke win big today.

 

Notre Dame falls to Virginia.

 

Maryland still up big over Northwestern 40-20 at half (Diamond Stone with 8 points)

Ben Simmons is a freak

Yes sir he is, happened to be in attendance for the LSU-Vandy game and came away much more impressed.

@JonRothstein
Indiana has a combined 37 turnovers in its first two Big Ten games. Hoosiers need to take better care of the ball. Averaging 15 TPG. #iubb

Good one in Columbus, Ohio st up 3 on Illinois with 6 min to go

[mdn82 25,782]

Tied

[HoosierAloha 30,100]

That was a solid game.  Good fight by both teams near the end of the game.  Both teams are very beatable. 

[Uspshoosier 50,867]

Good game at the yum center Louisville is up 1 on Wake with 6 min to go

[HoosierAloha 30,100]

4 to go, Wake ball down 1.

[HoosierAloha 30,100]

Bryant Crawford would have been a huge get.  He's been a big key for Wake.
