We're not winning the NC. I have no problem with people ripping on him. It just infuriates me how dismissive we are about all the good things he does. Like Brum said, he did an admirable job on Burke yet that's hardly mentioned. His improved defense is one of the most noticeable improvements I see from last year. I wasn't calling you out individually either, Rock. There are many people my thoughts apply to. At the end of the day, it's just my opinion that he deserves more respect like it's yours that he doesn't. One thing we can all agree on; being 14-1 feels really good. |

Let's just say after this season, we'll only lose about 10-15% of our scoring, and about 80% of our turnovers.. |

If Sheehey had played, i doubt we need that shot at the end of the game. Jones drives me crazy along with every one else, but I am thankful that he came to IU and has put the effort that he has put over the past few years and didn't give up. Without the senior class we couldn't be where we are right now. |

Hoosier Daddy?!

Let's all remember that our best bench player is still hurt, yet we've been able to pull out two wins against ranked teams at home. Let's just all be happy with the win and move on to Penn State. They won't be as easy as we all thought after they embarrassing Purdue tonight. |

The dumbest quote of the night goes to Dakich when referring to Hardaway stepping back off a screen to hit a jumper......he said, "thats what they call chin action" Can anyone honestly tell me wtf that even means? |

well...frustrating as people have said. but, some of my takeaways... 1) watford still has his games and stretches where he seems to disappear, but luv seeing him emotionally engaged and understanding his potential and role. huge expectations for his senior year. 2) did VO have the flu? just was not himself. did not look it and his game seemed to be a bit stagnant (for him). 3) roth with the head fake on the three and pull-up two. lovely. 4) more remy!!! kid has no fear. he's a difference maker. my biggest worry is he will be pushed out with other talent coming in. but, the kid just seems a competitor who hates losing. 5) been said a million times...sheehey needs to get back. |

The guy picked last in gym class

Yeah, I'm sure next year we'll be averaging 3 turnovers per game. Hulls had played piss poor in two of the last three games, but all we'll hear about is the VJ hate. VJ definitely made some bad plays tonight....but can you name me one good play that Jordan made? Funny that no one has yet to mention Jones' 6 assists. And while Hulls may be a leader, I saw him shirk that responsibility tonight when he the ball with the clock running down and passed it. Where did the ball end up? In Verdell's hands. No one has ever called Jones a great player, so stop that line of argument. But VO went 2 of 10 from the field, Zeller only had 4 rebounds, and Hulls did nothing. If you want to dissect everything Jones does, then you have to look at everybody. |

When Jones has a good game, you wont hear about a lot of his mistakes... You have to ask yourself why he's such a lightning rod for criticism and the most likely reason is, he makes bad decisions AND plays out of control CONSISTENTLY. Yes he has his games where he may put up 15-20 pts and Hulls has his bad games but when you look at the consistency of all of the players, Jones stands out as one that makes bad decisions and plays sloppy. The same can be said for Pritchard as well. Both on OHB and through random chat with other IU fans, people have a tendency to cringe when Jones is handling the ball or when Pritchard gets in the game. I agree that he needs to hold a special place in our hearts because he's endured the hardships at IU BUT that doesnt mean that he always needs to hold a place on the court at the end of the game. |

Can you enlighten me on how consistent Hulls has been in Big Ten play? And I would like to add, once again, that in our three wins against ranked opponents Jones has had the assist of the game winning bucket or hit the most important shot of the game. That doesn't make him great, but he is one the five best players on the team, especially when Sheehey is out. |

Jones seems to be the only guard that legitimately tries to get the ball in the post, too. I love Jordan Hulls but his no-show games kill us especially since he can't defend penetrating point guards. |

i agree with this. but jones also tries to force it too much into the post, when an extra pass or couple dribble could open up a better angle. and, don't see jones consistently guarding penetrating point guards either. jones has an important role on this team...but i would like to see some other bodies given more of a chance. feel it will ultimately benefit us come march... |
