they donn't call anything on the drive by bertrand, but call don't hesitate to send mcgary when he looks at the rim

I guess magic Johnson didn't play in the big ten.

He was no Steve Alford, that's for sure!

michigan is overguarding the [expletive] out of us

[Magnetic Curses]

burke with a 10 foot high dribble right in front of the ref

[Irrelevant Dude]

Richardson and Paul have really put the team on their back today.

[Magnetic Curses]

i didn't really expect us to come close to michigan today, anyway. the sexy mega ultra schools never lose at home.

[Magnetic Curses]

see what i mean? this is disgraceful. who's in the bonus now?

[illiniguy]

Trey Burke is probably the best big ten point guard since Tom Coverdale or Damon Bailey.

[SouthSideRyan]

We deserve to lose this game by 90 points. Cowardly performance by a bunch of players who already wrote this up as a loss before the game started.

[Magnetic Curses]

5 team fouls in the second half when the game is decided. yeah, you see how refs are scum.

[SouthSideRyan]

IU has a lot of ball handlers though. Yogi, Hulls, Oladipo....

 

Oladipo can do about anything, but ball handling isnt a strength from what i've seen.

Great win tonight for SLU. Beating Butler will be the road win they lacked to be a top 15-20 team. Basically a defensive team without any real stars.

 

You're talking to a guy who just referenced Zeller and Watford when challenged on ball handling.

I disagree we battled for a half. They just have Trey Burke and we don't.

[Magnetic Curses]

yeah, i hope trey burke gets the [expletive] out of school as soon as he can. will probably stay for 4 years though

[Magnetic Curses]

they haven't called a charge on michigan all game

Nice work there by ESPN... "Sulking and whining". Cut to Brandon Paul.

[Magnetic Curses]

beat nebraska at home and we're in, though.

[illiniguy]

No it hasn't, we collapsed one time. Good lord I hate ESPN broadcasts.

And then we came out with a 3 point lead and acted like we were down by 15. Lazy passes, no effort on loose balls, just pathetic.

We got down double digits and battled back to within four. They're better than us and this is in their gym. Not sure what you expected.

Ohio State is going to beat MSU giving Indiana a 2 game cushion at the top of the standings. Obviously Indiana could still falter down the stretch but either way its going to be interesting to see how the 1-5 positions play out prior to the tourney with MSU, Wisconsin, Michigan with 4 losses and OSU with 5 losses. Not that the 5 seed is the end of the world because they will play Penn St but it would be nice to play for the bye.

He's pretty good, but Olayogihulls > Burke

[hawkeyecub]

They are done, unless they somehow win out and win 1 or 2 games in the Big Ten Tournament.

 

If they somehow won out (10-8 with a win AT Indiana) they wouldn't need 2. If they go 9-9 they need 2 to be in the discussion, probably get to the championship to get in.

 

Yesterday was soul-crushing.

This whole season has been soul crushing. The only thing that helps keep it from being worse is the fact that expectations weren't incredibly high, still, there's so much "what could have been" from this team.
