Suck it Purdouche

YES!!!!!!!
Historical beatdown by the Hoosiers, should have been worse.
AJ Hammons gets called for 2 quick fouls, then gets called for only 1 more when it shoulda been over a dozen. I think there's a local 'city ordinance ' on that kinda thing when IU comes to town. Kid ends up w 30 points, seems to be getting better every game.
Huge game Sat nite in Bloomington, can Hoosier D contain all those UM scorers?????

Edit - Or outscore them anyway!!

I think I'm going to quit sports.    So painful sometimes.

Greetings from the best 3-7 conference team in the nation.  lulz 

[YimYodd]

We're #1, we were #1, are we #1?, do we wanna be #1?
All I know for sure is( technically) we are #1 in the B1G standings as of now after a huge win at Columbus.

Ruckus, I'm rooting for that 3-7 team the rest of the season!

GO BIG RED

GO BIG RED

I still have the Indiana game on my DVR.  Have watched the last three minutes a couple of times since Thursday

That Michigan/Wisconsin game was something else.  While I understand the fear of fouling if a player can get into his shooting motion right away, it was still surprising to see both Hardaway and Brust's 3 be allowed to be taken when both teams were multiple fouls away from the 1 and 1.

Got the very end of Louisville/ND after leaving the Brown Bird show a bit early.  Wow!  It was a fun week for sure.

All of a sudden, I really like our chances of making the tourney not. If we hold serve at home against Nebraska, Penn St., and Purdue and win at Northwestern and Iowa, we're golden.  Even if we drop one of those, I still think we're good and that's assuming we lose at Ohio State and Michigan.

GO BIG RED

We are #1 but I'm not sure we want to be #1. After losing in very disappointing fashion in Champagne, the Hoosiers forsure thought they would be dethroned from the top spot. Yesterday they came out firing on all cylinders, playing probably their best game of the season. Now that we are #1 again, we continue to have that target on our back.

Has it gotten to the point where it's not even worth discussing the B1G until conference tourney time.  I can't remember the last time a conference was this good top to bottom outside of the some Big East years over the past decade.  Even then, the bottom had some fish whereas the B1G has only Nebraska and PSU as total crap.  That said, the conference will invariably judged on whether they win the national title.  Number of Sweet 16s and Final Fours won't cut it.

Got my tickets in the mail today for the rounds formerly known as the 1st and 2nd rounds of the NCAA tourney... Woo Hoo!  Gonna be a heck of a vacation... Go from Spring Training in Tampa to the Tourney in Philly.  Can't Wait!!   :happy:

I've been thinking the same thing.  Michigan just finished a fucking brutal 4 game stretch playing 4 games in 10 days.  All 4 games were against top 20 opponents.  Three of the four were against top 10 opponents at the time they played and 3 of the 4 games were on the road?!  There isn't another conference in the country where you could go two weeks worth of games and not get a breather...

Thankfully Michigan has a bit of a breather as they now only have to play 3 games in the next 15 days with two of those games being against lowly PSU.  Hopefully they can regroup after this brutal stretch and prepare for the end of the regular season when they host IU and MooU...

You got us in Ann Arbor as well right? 

[iLikeBeer]

You got us in Ann Arbor as well right?

Yeah.  Illi at home is sandwiched between the two PSU games.  I just don't consider your Illini as much as a gimme as I do the games with PSU even if it is in the friendly confines of the Crisler Center.

After the beatdown you gave us in Champaign, I feel we'll put up a better fight in that one.  I've learned not to get too up or down on this team.

[iLikeBeer]

I have a feeling PSU is in for a world of hurt tomorrow with Michigan coming off of that embarrassing performance at MooU last Tuesday...

The best basketball is being played in the Big Ten; you guys ought to check it out.

Great (and funniest ever) pic from tonights win.   If I was that guy I'd get it blown up to cover an entire wall in my basement.

Finally a signature win.   

                                                                               




                                                                   Pretty sure this guy is not on the team

[Ruckus]

Yes, I kind of forgot about that one!    That will look better on the resume if you guys keep winning.

Great W for IU in the Izzone!, now on to the Barn!
I actually talked to Oladipo this morning on his way to class - Yes, UK he actually goes to class.
He said he had 3 this morning. What a cool cat.
