[BlueDevil]

Need a few stops here. Chip away.

Boob just had to start this thread...

I held off on saying this all week, but I think many of our fans greatly underestimated how difficult this game would be. We had a great year, but we just don't get the same caliber of player teams like Kansas and UNC get.

If Paige is on court we need to go at him. Crean needs to play the lineups that got us here not try to be cute

Playing back that Paige shot in the paint it sure looks like Morgan was grimacing from either the shot or shoulder but very noticeable!

Certainly looks that way now, but hoping they can make a game of it at least!

we get a few of the same caliber players, it's just that they always have a top 10 class, when we have one once every 5-10 years.

Cheap offensive foul call.

[Whoozhers]

Troy is stinking up the joint so far.

I think we have too many 1 dimensional players and players who are hot or cold to truly compete with the big boys.  Maybe if Rojo was back and Troy had made a commitment to D like the NBA told him to. But right now our starting line up has 3 guys who are struggling/failing on defense and without more offense from our Cold guy we can't score. 

[LIHoosier]

Burton already getting PT. I guess its no Rojo tonight.

[chitown hoosier]

Get burton out of there!

[colonel06]

Now they have bonus too 7-7 FT!
