That makes me sick. I love these players because they represent my alma mater -- not because they're good at basketball. IU as a school > IU as a sports team |

Lol. You've tried covering up your hatred of VJ the past few weeks. It all comes out tonight. Good try. |

It's 12:11 AM, and Verdell is doing ball handling drills. What a douche! |

Out of that whole post that's what you pick out? Anyways...you're probably right, Cody's the most important player on our team, but Watford, with his skill set, should be the hardest guy for other teams to match up against. My point about him is...when he plays like he did against Kentucky and Michigan State he's a nightmare for other teams to guard. He needs to make himself that hard to guard every game. Tonight he drifted around the three point line all night...didn't take the ball to the basket or post anybody up. He made himself very easy to guard. He was barely involved in the offense. He can't let that happen, especially at times when Cody is out of the game. As an upperclassman and one of our most experienced players, he needs to take over at times when the team needs his scoring. For him to disappear like he did tonight is unacceptable, and he needs to know that...that's all I'm saying. |

I haven't read through this thread yet.... I would like to say a couple of things though. First off, don't freak out everyone. We've won several games we shouldn't have, so it only makes sense we lose a few we shouldn't as well. We're still a good team, and we'll be fine. Minny has played tough on the road this year, and they beat us fair and square. We gave up a million offensive rebounds, Watford and Verdell played TERRIBLE, we couldn't hit a 3 to save our life, and we were still competitive. Teams that hit an egregious amount of 3s like we do can beat anyone, and we can lose to anyone. It was just one of those nights. I thought we would be 3-2 at this point of the season, and we are. I'd rather beat OSU and lose to Minny than the other way around. We're still having a phenomenal year, don't freak out! |

time for bed here...but need the cathartic sleep effect of spilling out thoughts/despair... 1) VO, VJ and hulls (the latter two especially) set the negative tone for this one. none of those guys showed up at the bell. 2) VO needs to get his head around him. lots of well deserved praise for early season play, but truth is it has not been there on a consistent basis of late. 3) pritchard is pritchard. 4) hulls needs to be the central focus of offense (not necessarily shooting) when he is on the court. otherwise, he is just a defensive liability. 5) i've said it before...more remy. glad crean seemed to get the message as well. his development is key to any notion of a post-season run. wouldn't mind even seeing him starting a bit down the road. 6) roth is great. not a great player, but did what he was asked to within what could reasonably be expected. 7) will...gotta love will. if there was ever a game that should have VJ looking over his shoulder regarding starting role (not to mention VO based on this and last performances) ... 8) this game just went to prove what should have been obvious for the whole year...an incredibly small margin for error. we'll make the tourney, and may even make the second weekend...but the future, bright as it is, is still just that. 9) oh...and HIT THE DEFENSIVE GLASS AND TAKE CARE OF THE ROCK!!! alright, i'm done. go hoosiers |

Im more pissed IU gave up its homecourt dominance to minny and getting beat the way they did...being in the top ten for the first time in years....and they lose to the last team in the B1G...smh...unacceptable! But who am i to judge? I was really hoping we'd ride into columbus bumping with confidence after a few good wins but now I see that's not going to happen. Maybe we win and we'll stay in the top ten, or we lose back to back and see how this years team handles it ... poop, poop feeling |

He was -19 last night. Say what you want about the +/- stat. When you see a guy getting beat repeatedly on defense and then see a -19 next to his name, it just helps confirm what you think you're seeing on the court. Oladipo was terrible last night. http://www.btownbanners.com/gm-17-player-analysis-minnesota-edition/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BtownBanners+%28Btown+Banners%29 |

The guy picked last in gym class

That sure would have explained Wisconsin being two games behind them in the standings coming in. :sarcasm: And if no turnovers and offensive bode so well for them, how is it that as a 2 1/2 point favorite they lost by 5 in a game that they didn't lead after the opening moments? |

you're right brum...the key to victory is to stay away from the offensive rebounds and turn the fucking ball over..... ::finger:: |

Referees definitely favored us last night. A couple horrible, horrible calls went in our favor. Elston took a charge while being CLEARLY in the restricted area and Verdell threw the ball off of Minny out of bounds but he had already knocked the ball out. Those were both plain as day. Some of OHB would bitch about the referees if they were the SI Swimsuit team.... |

Read through this thread... Dedicated complained about how much Verdell sucks. In other news, Obama is the president, Carrie Underwood is pretty, and cake tastes good. :D Also, if you're out there DC, and you honestly think all Cody does is dunk in transition or get layups from others' hard work, I hope you watched the game last night. |
