i guess this is the year where the state of indiana owns every single one of my teams.

 

Well, even if Indiana wins this game it will just be a home and home split with Illinois, so IU didn't "own" UI this year.

Since Illinois won the first game, I'd call it a push.

 

not by a long shot, the ej thing would overshadow 8 consecutive sweeps.

 

oh well, i should be used to my teams getting beaten without retribution by now.

Nice play Bruce. Unreal.

 

Why would you pass the ball to Pruitt at the FT line?

Why would you give him the ball in that spot ever? The only time he should touch it is when he has a man sealed on the block.

It's a testament to Sampson that a team with so much more talent than Illinois loses to them once, and nearly loses to them again.

 

Well, if Sampson is a bad coach, then Davis must have been worse than Dusty-because IU played much worse than this with a more talented squad last year.

Will it make you feel better when Sampson has IU on probation in a couple years?

I miss the first 38 minutes of the IU/UI game because the local station here showed the UCLA/WVU game. Seems as if Illinois played some of their best basketball for 39 minutes and then, predictably, chokes at the end. I wonder why it's been so hard for us to get a true big man. It's too bad Carter is not that good because if he was he would've had enough confidence to take the ball to the hole instead of dishing it from the lane to McBride. McBride had an open look but just missed it. In fact, McBride had two open looks and missed them.

What makes you think that Myles Brand will ever let that happen?

That may well be. It doesn't make Sampson any better, though.

Illinois playing like they had been lobotomized for the last couple minutes helped, too.

 

And be patient, karma has it's own timetable.

he's done nothing wrong--but zook, somehow is the worst cheater in history because he got some great recruits to play for a talent-starved program.

Teams like Memphis have a much better chance of going on probation than IU does-there are plenty of coaches who have committed worse violations than Sampson's violations (not excusing it at all-he did commit a violation, and he has to own up to that mistake, but that doesn't automatically mean that he'll make that mistake again).

Why do you have to be such a sore loser? It was an ugly game on all sides, and IU pulled out a win. UI won one, IU won one, hopefully they will meet again in the BTT. Just because IU won you have to pull out this "well you'll be on probation" garbage with no evidence of any violations at IU. Man up.

Weber is getting outcoached pretty much every game. 1 basket for us the final 3 minutes we probably win that game. Yet he is content to just keep punting by running the clock out and then throwing up a contested 3. That worked when Dee, Deron, and Luther were here to make those shots. But, they ain't here no more. Lets try to run some freaking sets.

I know Sampson was being looked at when he was in OK, I doubt he was simply forgotten because he switched schools.

People are just afraid of Zook, especially Jabba the hutt over at south bend.

I guess I don't see the huge talent on this IU squad-D.J. is a great player, Wilmont is great at times, Calloway and Bassett are good but erratic, and everybody else are really role players. The talent level certainly doesn't suggest a 17-6 record to me.
