    Any word on when X may sneak back on the court?  He tweeted out “8.” earlier this week.  On the day he tweeted it was 8 weeks from surgery/injury.  
     

    This is not an easy game, but our guys are rolling and can win this game.  Go Hoosiers!

    I think X’s “8” referred the the final 8 possessions for UM in the game Saturday: that his teammates’ D shut down 8 straight!

  5. Rutgers Post Game

    This is among the most frustrating games of the Mike Woodson Era. We don't lose to Rutgers because they're more talented than us, we lose because they play harder.

    Positives from the game:

    Kopp

    TJD had a double double + 4 blocks

    Defense was honestly fine, we held them to 63 points, we just didn't secure the ball well after the first attempt. 

     

    Negatives:

    Got SMOKED on the boards, absolutely pathetic. 

    14 turnovers

    Shot like crap, and honestly we had a lot of good looks we missed

    SOFT

    Only 9 assists - have to beat that type of pressure defense with more passing.

    Refs were completely awful - missed plenty both ways but man do some of the really bad misses that stick out all go against us (X flagrant, X getting decapitated, TJD getting hit with no call, TJD getting hammered). Not saying any of those change the outcome but wow, unacceptable performance by the refs. 

    Browsing at 11:58pm and not sure I need to read further… spot on.

    Thanks Dgambill! I also researched/reddited it since I posted and yes, YTTV is the only platform that will allow FF through commercials during "pending" programs, such as IUFB IUBB.

    I just switched. 

    You're also correct that $65/mo. is not really a better deal. But with DirecTV I was getting hammered at $200/mo with the boxes, additional rooms, etc... and their customer service wasn't great. 

    Thanks- Happy New Year and Go IU!

    I also prefer the ability to organize my channels on YTTV and the DVR features are better....fast forwarding commercials and basically unlimited DVR...has some downsides with price but unfortunately my wife has very specialized taste in shows and requires either Hulu or YTTV basically.

    So can you Fast-Forward through commercials if you are watching IUBB on BTN? As in during the actual game but you paused the game at tip-off and started it 10 minutes behind, can you skip commercials then? 

    My understanding is the only way to skip ads nowadays is a DirecTV/cable provider- I hope I'm wrong! 

    I have Hulu, and I used to "record" the IU game on Hulu DVR, then start watching the game (on the DVR recorded version) about 10 minutes after tip so I could FF through commercials... but now Hulu not only doesn't allow that (I don't think I can FF commercials until the next day or?), it instead will sometimes glitch backwards (like from 2:09 to go i n the game back to 11:20 left in the game... and THEN will still force me to watch each ad block after the 11:20 point of the broadcast.   

    It is hard to explain but incredibly frustrating-so I'd like to be DONE with Hulu but am not unsure where to go next?
