Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

3 things. im not normally one to critize the officiating, but 2 calls cost us 6 pts. early in the 2nd half rowley clearly traveled and hit a bucket and got free throws. missed them, nw got the rebound and scored again. 4pts. later, coble travels, goes from side of lane to ft line with no dribble; both were replayed, both clearly showed no call travels. 6 pts nw.

thats 2. the 3rd is verdell. he flat out cannot handle the ball. turns it over all game and throws the inbounds away on final possession. we lose by 2. christ.

The only reason it was close is because IU went nuts from 3 point range. I stated early in the season that going nuts from 3 was the only way they would win a BT game. Hell, they even hit free throws this game and they couldn't beat NW. I doubt IU shoots this well again this year. I can't see them beating anybody.

you can't be serious. we get within 2 on the road and you don't think we're capable of beating anyone??? for the record, IU only beat NW by 3 on the road last year.

Dont blame Jones on the last play, he had no where to throw the ball. I dont know if they had a time out left, if they did then he should have called time-out.

Do you realize how awful of a shooting team IU is? They are unlikely to shoot like this again. They obviously can't stop anybody, and they play with the lowest basketball smarts of any team in the BT by far. If they do beat anybody, it will only prove how mediocre the BT really is. This team is horrible.

And how many turnovers? And how many other poor decisions that led to turnovers? He doesn't play smart, too bad there isn't a section in the box score for that. This isn't fantasy basketball.

i have to agree. jones fucking killed us all game. poor decisions, poor ball handling, but he shot it decently. its the only thing that keeps him from getting an "F" this game.
