Thank you for perfectly capturing my emotions with that post

Fruck frvuk trigj indeed.

Not that it would've made the difference, but the refs killed any comeback to start the 2nd half. We were too complacent on offense in the 1st half; almost too worried about them getting into transition that we didn't play our own game. Lots of other things, but its 12:30 and a loss to end the year has me tired.

My wife is driving as we speak. I did angerly rip my. Candy stripes off though.

Hell of a season boys. Sucks to lose but UNC is a great team. They were preseason #1 for a reason.

Max was all in on this game and has been all year. Nick completely dissapeard. Zero post feeds will cause a easily defendable offense. So so shooting.

Never mind that crap.. if IU doesn't put on an epic 3 point performance, this is a nail biter or IU is up. A team can only take so much until the spirit breaks. The refs sure as hell weren't helping anything.

Tough way to go out by not playing your best at the end.  Carolina was on fire from deep and couldn't be touched inside.  Another Sweet 16 loss is tough to swallow but if you would have told me IU would be here in December I would have laughed. 

The only thing you can do is get in the gym during the summer and get better.  Hopefully, the younger players can take some good experience away from this and build on it.  HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS!!!

I'm so tired of maybe next year.

I think the team that lost to kensucky in sweet 16 and this team if we played any other teams those years we would've been elite 8 final four teams

Follow another team?  I don't have much for you man.

Nah. He's right. I get that it's what we get but it certainly sucks. We deserve better. Are we still blue blooded? 1987 is further away every year.

I don't know how anyone could be upset with the way we played this year. We fought through adversity, won the B1G, and made it to the sweet 16 after getting a brutal draw. Nobody could've seen that coming after the start of the season.

We're the basketball version of Nebraska football. Is what it is. I don't like it, but I don't think it's going to change anytime soon, if ever. It's been too long and the damage has been too great. This is what we are now. It's not bad, it's just different.

With North Carolina hitting 3's like they're warm up jumpers and getting a foul call on almost every post feed there is literally nothing that could be done. It was a good year...

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

Ya know, this year was so much fun. It started out so horrible but I honestly don't know that I have ever enjoyed watching a team as much as I did this year.

We didn't get what we wanted. But we did get so much from this group. My hats off to CTC and everyone for this year. I'm going to miss #11 a whole lot though.

[Josh 12,586]

It was a fun/frustrating season.  Definitely memorable, thanks for the Big Ten title.

 

Bad Troy first half, good troy second.  Yogi was hit or miss.  Bielfelt played really well.  We were minus 2 starters!

 

Bottom line is we gave up 101 points.  We scored enough to win, but we gave up 101 points.

 

I thought it was a typical Tom Crean tournament game, but then again I'm not sure what that is anymore.  I'm so on the fence with Coach.

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Good year. Can't complain. Unc was just overally more talented.

Losing rojo hurt.

[hoosiers25 82]

I still think this was tom creans best coaching job yet at IU and that he should still be our coach... *runs and hides under rock as angry fans attack*

What a great year of Indiana basketball! I personally have to marvel at the guts and obvious hard work this special group of young men showed this season. This loss will sting for a while, but for me, it won't be due to not winning a championship or just finally advancing beyond the sweet 16. It is because I loved watching this group play together. They were exciting, and hard nosed, infuriating at times and I was not ready to stop watching. Opposing teams were afraid to play IU toward the end. That is street cred. We had the toughest draw in the whole tournament imo. Played 2 great games before running into some bad luck. Injuries hurt this team badly but there was always someone to fill in. I know many are upset with another sweet 16 loss. I'm upset too. That tells me IU is relevant again. That tells me IU is going past the 16 very soon.
