Ball State's 4-game winning streak is over. Akron 75, BSU 70 in OT. :(

Maybe you can get the perfect Big 10 record that IU just missed out on last year. :D

Ball State's 4-game winning streak is over. Akron 75, BSU 70 in OT. :(

BSU really didn't play all that well and Akron got a lot of luck, including at least 4 contested treys that went in and a couple of ridiculous flops called offensive fouls. I was really more heartened than discouraged. The game that matters is in Cleveland and I think they can take the Zips there. Wednesday night at Kent will be a tough test for this team.

 

ND vs USF tomorrow, they have to win the next 3 to even pretend to be in the NCAA conversation (USF, @Hall, St. John's)

Ok snood, it might be time to get concerned. Why is KU struggling so much with the crap Big 12 teams?

[snoodmonger]

I dunno. But at least we're not Texas. I don't know what happened to them. Of course, I'm sure they'll come out firing on all cylinders on Mon.

[CubbieBum]

and for the record, the turdue nancies are the biggest homers on this board.

 

 

C'mon now, you know better than that.

 

Check out da bum's treatise on Robbie Hummell and how Purdue and IU are the clear cut best teams in the Big Ten historically.

 

They are historically. If you want to argue about the most recent 30-20-10 years than no Purdue isn't up there with the rest but historically they are.

holy [expletive], k-state just hacks the hell out of you, don't they?

 

Yep. KSU basketball is a two and a half hour affair most of the time.

Honest question for UI fans. Do you think strength and conditioning is an issue for your hoops team? Looking at the physiques of your players, they seem very slender. Does Weber emphasize the weight room?

Not sure about the whole team, but Tisdale has to build up some strength for sure !!

Dmac and DJ are pretty physical for guards. And Griffey seems too be built ok. but the two Mike's might not know we have a weight room.

I don't think we can win this. I think we've played pretty well and they've played awful and yet are right there with us. Hope I am wrong.

It seems like MSU has shot pretty well. I mean, they're a real good team so it's not unexpected, but I think another half like the first wouldn't be out of the question, especially if some guys playing more/different minutes affects them down the stretch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

MSU is shooting 55.6% from the floor, Illinois 51.9%.

They shoot FT worse than Memphis did two years ago.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Illinois out rebounded 20-10 !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

With that bucket by Brandon Paul, every member of the team has scored tonight.

[illiniguy]

Our big guys don't rebound and Bill Cole is worthless. McCamey can't beat them by himself.

[illiniguy]

And for the record I would like to see hawkeye fan come on here and tell us all how Demetrei can't shoot again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I think we got a break there.

[XZero771679666304]

Got a break there.

[Andy]

What is the origin of that weird hand-clap chant that goes on for five minutes before anything actually happens? I remember first seeing that when BSU football played at Illinois and being unnerved by it (maybe that's the idea).

[XZero771679666304]

Wow.

[XZero771679666304]

Hold it, you bastards.
