and they lost a close game against a team that is better than them. |
![]() The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

An upset loss at home is not a good thing. No matter how close it is. |

I just want to clear this up.. Minnesota is not a good basketball team. Giving up 77 points to them is pretty pathetic, especially when Rodney Williams was in foul trouble all night. Tom Crean made some odd personnel adjustments, but I don't know what the team dynamics were tonight -- sickness (Watford), playing like shit (Verdell), not playing with energy (Hulls). This teams' defense was woeful against Penn State and they followed it up with another really bad performance. I think we thought we were going to cakewalk against the last place team in the conference, and it probably didn't help that our team used Sheehey's return as a crutch. I give Minnesota credit for slowing the pace waaaaaay down and playing under control. They limited IU's possessions, scored on their own, and forced a low energy IU team into an ugly styled game. Still though you can't expect to be taken seriously and lose to teams like Minnesota at home. Like I said earlier, I didn't expect us to be great this year but even then I would expect us to win at home fairly consistently. Hopefully this serves as a wakeup call to this team that you can't cakewalk just because you have a single digit next to your name. I'll be really interested to see how we respond to Ohio State. |

I don't care if we're playing Ohio State at Ohio State...I think some guys definitely need to get benched on Sunday. Verdell for sure. I like what I've been seeing from Remy lately...give the kid a start. Watford....I don't know if his ankle was bothering him after he tweaked it, if he was sick, or what...but when he was in there he wasn't really into it. I'd give Sheehey a start, even if he still can't go more than 15-20 minutes, send Watford a message that the kind of effort that he put out there tonight is unacceptable. He's our best player..he needs to show more leadership than he did tonight. |

As well we all will. A couple things you touched on. Minny dictating the tempo. Tubby can coach. Also, saying VJ was playing like shit. Finally! I don't know how many games you have watched, but that guy has played like shit for most of the year, with the exception of a few games. Can't figure out why he still gets the amount of minutes he does, espcecially down the stretch. Why was he even in the game at all during the last minute? He can't shoot 3's, not quick enough to get steals on the defensive end most of the time and can't even pass good. What the hell does he do good? Still trying to figure out what his role on this team is. I know, senior leadership, lol. Senior leadership is pretty much overrated on this team. At least I have been consistent as far as my lack of love for VJ and I am not alone. I know a lot of people whom I just run into on the street as IU fans say the same thing. Guy totally sucks, but oh boy let's not say anything negative towards him because he came here when no one else would and stuck it out. I probably hated Devin Dumass a little worse, but basically the same feelings. Both are like nails on a chalkboard. Guy has been there 4 years, and the only improvement I have seen and the rest of you have commented on, is his defense, which is still not that great. Also, what the fuck was Pritchard in the game at all. That guy had the most stupid foul ever in that game. |

I've always stuck up for Verdell, but he laid a turd tonight. This team will bounce back though. I doubt we win Sunday, but I expect an effort unlike any we've seen so far this year. |

Verdell is doing shooting drills right now in an empty gym. I fucking love his passion. We'll be better because of this loss. I fucking guarantee it. |

That doesn't prove anything. Supposedly he shot free throws after a recent game, but he was 0-2 tonight. He isn't going to hit those off balance, fade away jumpers consistenly. They have never been high percentage shots. Your love affair for him is just flat out sick. Sorry, can't wait for this guy to go. |
