Nick Williams hurt his elbow, they should eject the OSU defender that was on him.

 

Technical foul on Harris?? For what??

And Kramer absolutely flopped. You get elbowed in the face and you go flying 3 feet on your back?

 

Let someone unexpectedly break your nose with their elbow and we'll see how you react. One things for sure you would just stand there.

 

Oh c'mon he embellished the hell out of it, if you can't see that then you are just being a homer.

 

He had blood flowing out of his nose and he was hit unexpectedly. Ever seen some pull the prank of acting like they are going to throw something at someone? In this case Kramer actually got hit. I would expect someone who got hit unexpectedly to go down real fast and in a natural reflex try to get out of the way.

 

Those of you trying to say he flopped when he filled a towel with blood are just plain being stupid. No way to cut it any different. You're letting your dislike of Purdue blind you. Seriously saying someone flopped when they are covered in blood ... I would expect that from people other than Cubs fans.

 

I don't question the fact that he got hit pretty hard and that the impact and pain was enough to knock him down. But I wouldn't doubt that he still may have sold it a bit. You get hit in the nose like that, you're most likely not going to flip around in the air like he did. He hits the ground twice as much as Brian Cardinal ever did, and that's saying something. I don't doubt that he got hit hard. I just think he's used to over-acting a bit when he gets hit.

Just when I start to think this KU team might be turning the corner, we blow a 21 point lead and almost lose at home...to Colorado.

[E.J.]

I don't think it really matters whether he flopped or not. The refs made a terrible call in ejecting Harris. There was no intent behind it. Give him a technical. Don't kick him out of the game.

 

By the way, getting really sick of watching Michigan have no chance at winning games because they have no ability to get the ball inside.

[CubColtPacer]

Indiana's been better than I expected this year, their having no depth whatsoever is killing them.

 

Absolutely agreed. This is the 2nd game in a row where two monumental players that IU lacks were shown.

 

1) a 2nd big man. When Pritchard went out today the difference was massive. Even when he came back in the game, Ohio State was able to go inside time after time because he couldn't foul out of the game.

 

2) a point guard that would completely take Daniel Moore's minutes and some of the ones of Jones. Indiana's point guards turn it over way too much. And it's hilarious to watch Daniel Moore penetrate. He drives past his guy fine..and then he has absolutely nothing to do after that. He can't drive and kick anymore because the player from behind knows that he can just block his shot and so they don't need to collapse on him.

 

I'm surprised with Dumes. His decision making on the court has actually gotten better over the course of a full game (although still 4-5 times a game where he just makes an awful decision, but most of the time he seems to be playing team ball right now). IU has done a pretty good job of getting their offense better now by working off Dumes or Pritchard and passing the ball quickly.

 

Overall though they're still too limited, which means they have to overplay and take risks a lot of the time, which leads to those stupid mistakes like SSR was talking about. And they're going to have to steal one this year because those facts aren't going to change. Wednesday night becomes a massive game for this program now as it's easily 1 of the 2 best chances left.

better get used to it as long as beilein is there.

Well, if Mizzou holds on against Baylor, I'll feel slightly better about losing to KSU after what they did today.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Mizzou's going to blow another one. Unbelievable.

[UMFan83]

Still think its ridiculous for me to say that Michigan isn't making the NCAA's Sulley?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Mizzou's going to blow another one. Unbelievable.

 

You didn't go?

 

That was a lot of fun, big crowd too. I like to think that Mizzou won as karma for Scott Drew wearing black tennis shoes so you couldn't tell he was wearing them. Mizzou looks really good at home. Now they get to go to Austin and play a pissed off Texas team. Super.

No. I'm a failure when it comes to knowing when pickup dates are. I never have tickets, and I haven't been to a game since sophomore year (last year was a boycott, this year I really want to go).

[manbearcub]

pat knight just exploded. he should get suspended for that.

This Northwestern vs. Wisconsin game is one of the best college basketball games I've seen this season.

It was ridiculously entertaining.

 

And I'm happy! Great win for Northwestern.

[E.J.]

Solid game by Northwestern. That was a fun game to watch.

you know its a big ten game when both teams are shooting over 50% from the field and the final score for each team is still in the mid 60s.

[manbearcub]

pat knight just exploded. he should get suspended for that.

 

what happened?

I didn't see the play but he ran all the way across the court to the get in the refs face. It took a while to eject him but finally an assistant helped him off, then as he was going into the tunnel he turned around and sprinted back to the scorers table. two assistants and a security guard led him out.

[TruffleShuffle]

oh congrats to wisconsin on their 6th loss in a row.

apple doesn't fall far from the tree

[manbearcub]

pretty much the same thing

just goes to show you that the apple coaches a lot like their father

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm definitely not using an apple the next time i play basketball, since they don't bounce very well.

[Vanilla Ice]

Well let's settle this properly.

 

IMB, when somebody breaks a person's face unexpectedly do you go flying to the ground like you were shot?

awesome
