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

did anybody but me notice that 6 pt giveaway? i know calls are missed, but those were obvious travels. i told my boys with about 4 mins to go, if we get beat i hope its by 7pts or more. we arent good enough to lose 6 pts. and jones...fuck.
Travels happen all the time and go uncalled. You cant blame a loss on non travel calls

hell, VJ III had 14 points 4 rebs and 7 assists. i won't complain.
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.
You better watch out, agreeing with me is considered blasphemy on this board and will likely end with you waking up to a severed horse head.

Nice of you guys to come down out of your Ivory Tower to visit with us plebeians ;) .

Players contribute to losing. Some more so than others. Exhibit A: Verdell Jones. He has been killing IU all season.
