Is it better than the "Love Train"

All it took was a dunk from a dude who hasn't dunked all year and an alley-top

2 fouls

My entire life has been a sham!!!!!

Yes it's a range in the Rockies sometimes spelled "Saguache" where I live and watch Indiana Basketball.

Remember when the alcohol runs out you will always have us.

I see you're a man of culture as well. Perchance we've been to the same parties?

May I introduce you to this? At $10 a fifth you won't need Indiana to ever win again.

Don't be hard on yourself. With over 27,000 comments you were bound to have a stupid one.

The great thing about this game being a must win is that means there is still a chance.

Imagine the worst member of HoosierSportsNation being paid to talk. That’s Dan Dakich. He’s that family member you invite to Thanksgiving cause they’re family and all they do is start fights. When we talk about issues finding coaches because of fan behavior Dan Dakich has a lot to do with that.

And on the plus side Woodson has the class to avoid punching assistant coaches like some other unnamed coach.

Extremely kind of you to call Dan Dakich a coach but I agree with the rest of your statement.

Additionally, it’s not Woodson’s fault Indiana is on a 5 game losing streak. Let it be known that I started the Illinois game thread which started all of this. If I had just not made that game thread who knows where Indiana would be. Please forgive me...

Everyone is talking about that timeout with 90 seconds left and up 4 that produced a turnover. The truth is that's one out of a bunch things that cost Indiana the game in regulation. Free throws (left 8 on the floor), 8 billion turnovers in the first half, a dozen dumb layups missed...again, shooting old lady percentages from the three point line, Jackson missing 4 free throws in a row, if you take Stewart's three's away this team went 3 for 15 from three. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on....

Whoever said we couldn't score 73 points in a game was correct.

Glad I'm sober now cause I'd probably get 💩faced tonight in a former life.

I predict this for tonight's game

And when you say "many, many fouls calls" you mean they might break the NCAA record for personal fouls called on Indiana?

I have great news and bad news regarding Monday's game. According to ESPN the Pacers are going to play Ohio State instead of Indiana.

We win this game with Rob and probably the NW game too. There's no way Davis puts up 30 and or Davison with 21. Additionally, the foul differential is reduced cause Rob gets less calls and also is good at getting fouled when driving the ball.

Pretty sure last year's team would have lost by almost 20 last night. IMO

Honestly, one of our biggest problems is that Parker, while a great three point shooter, is no threat to take the ball inside. Honestly, the only guard we have who is used to taking contact in the awful manner which is the BIG TEN is Rob. XJ, Stewart and Galloway aren't seasoned in B1G BS. If our guards and wings could get to the line at a better rate I feel this could open things up more for TJD and Race. Part of kicking the ball out to a competent three point shooter is knowing they can fake and or if the defense closes too quick they will move inside. I don't think it's simply that our guards and wings can't shoot but it's that they don't draw a lot fouls when they get inside. Regarding the end of the game I think TJD made the right call but if he had been fouled the clocked would have stopped allowing for the potential of two free throws and setting up a press potentially.

Thought I would show how weird last nights game was... So far there have been approximately 9500 D1 college basketball games this season. Last night Wisconsin attempted 29 free throws. So far only 602 or 6% of games this year have involved a team(s) attempting 29 or more free throws. Of the those 602 games 394 of them had +11 net free throw attempts between the teams playing. Teams that attempted 29 or more free throws and took 11 or more free throws than the opponent won 87% of those games. Another fun little stat is net personal fouls. Of the 9500 or so games played this season only 409 games have had a foul differential of 9 or more. Only 4% of games played this year have had a foul difference of +9 or more. Holy crap. Wisconsin has been in 4 games this year with a free throw attempt differential of +11, 3 games with a foul differential of +9 and 1 game with both. Obviously, Wisconsin won all of those games. Indiana this year has played in two games where the opponent has shot 29 or more free throws. The other game against Syracuse doesn't really count since that was a double overt time game. Twice this year Indiana has shot 11 or more less free throws than the opponent. The other game was against Louisiana. Additionally, there has only been 1 game this season that Indiana has out fouled another team by 9 or more. Last night was a statistical anomaly. Indiana either played horrible defense and deserve the foul calls or something else happened and you all know what I'm talking about. Simply put Indiana doesn't have the offensive talent to deal with the free throw differential and foul differential they had last night. I'm not sure many teams could've won last night being called for 9+ more fouls and taking 11 less free throws. Give Gard some credit though. Once he sees refs are gonna call the $#@% out of the opponent he makes that his game plan. Is it a game-plan for winning, yes, does it exemplify all the worst aspects of BIG Ten basketball, yes. Honestly, the fact Indiana lost by 5, had a chance to win and take the game into overtime is minor miracle. F$%^ Archie for not recruiting one wing player, F$%^ the refs and F$%^ Greg Gard for playing ref ball and helping murder whatever is left of BIG TEN basketball.

pretty sure Shillis just hates Indiana
