Twice the Hoosiers were building a little lead and then Coach Woodson has Durr, Lander, Jordan, Parker and Bates in and the Badgers make a run to get back in it. That killed the momentum the team and crowd were building. Also Kopp being on Davis a big chunk of the game was a killer, put literally anyone else but Miller, who is probably the slowest guy on the team, on him.

The terrible call that should have been called a jump ball and Davis getting the NBA continuation were killers. Overall terrible officiating in sports is really taking the joy out of sports for me, they have too big of an outcome on games. As bad as those calls were the Hoosiers blew this game. I've been up and down on my thoughts of Woodson as the coach, but lately my original opinion of him is starting to creep back in. A good coach has him team playing better as the season goes on, but this team is playing worse.

I think White is a better defender, but Richardson is probably the better shooter. Celtics have three open roster spots now, don't they? Giving the Spurs 2028 swap rights seems kind of odd.

White is a good player but throwing that first in seems like a bit of an overpay. I do like Romeo going to the Spurs, Pop might get him to reach his potential.

Pacers have made some good moves this week.

Boston seems to have paid a lot for White, they traded Richardson, Romeo and their 2022 1st top 4 protected.

Yeah, I think you might be right. 👍

From the looks of this Woj Bomb he does.

Especially since Stewart has already been suspended for team rules, and Durr had those games after the Purdue win where he didn't play. It's not a good look for those two.

I've been kind of resistant on changing the starting lineup, but I think it is probably time. Galloway should be playing more than Parker and with Stewarts second time violating team rules he doesn't deserve to be starting.

From what I could tell most of the players suspended seemed to be pretty engaged in the last game, so hopefully they realize they messed up and are ready to go get the victory.👍

If Xavier is back playing and some of the other guys, I think they will come out fired up and get the victory. MSU has lost three out of five games and not really playing all that great. I figured they would fall back to the pack, and they have. Trayce has had a bad couple of games, possibly effects from his injury, so the Hoosiers need him to get out of his slump, which I think he will. I would also like to see Tamar get back on track this game, his scoring off the bench would help. Another thing is Jordan needs to start playing a little smarter at times, his rebounding and defense are too important off the bench for him to get in foul trouble.

Ok while I am still pissed that these players cost the Hoosiers a victory, if they were just sneaking out, while it was breaking team rules at least it wasn't something more serious like smoking weed. The players that haven't been suspended before should be allowed to play next game, while someone like Parker who has already broken team rules might need to miss some more games.

Galloway needs to be taking more of Stewarts minutes and Leal needs to be taking some of Bates.

That game was 100% on the five players that were suspended. We win that with them playing. I haven't been one that wants to change the starting lineup, but it is obvious that Galloway should be starting over Parker, someone that has been suspended twice now for breaking team rules. The Hoosiers are still going to make the tournament, but I am pretty disgusted with the five players that made it harder tonight for them.

I would have gotten rid of Fox before Haliburton. Sabonis and Fox seem like a bad pairing since neither are that good of shooters. Kings got rid of their two best three-point shooters, something that Domas needs to be surrounded with. 👍

He seems to be pretty efficient

The meltdown with Kings fans is crazy right now. It's not because of getting Sabonis who they like, it is more for losing Haliburton.

It might actually give me some excitement to start watching the Pacers again.

Haliburtons last 24 games 17.3 PPG 9.4 APG 2.6 TOV 47/43/87% . 👍

Man this is a really good trade for the Pacers. Possible star in Haliburton and Hield is third in the league on 3's this season. They also create a $6 million trade exception with the deal. I see more moves coming. Thing that makes me the happiest, probably eliminates them from going after Simmons.

Should be a pretty crazy atmosphere there today.👍

Probably not, most of the bad weather is supposed to end after today.

I did a little plowing and shoveling last night just to keep busy, but I think I'm going to wait on round two until tonight or in the morning since nobody can really go anywhere right now.

Next he might go after Brohm for QB coach, it would be a big promotion for Jeff. 😁
