Wrong glass, Sir.
I was wondering when IU was going to get mentioned. Adidas school, CHECK. Desperate to reclaim status as basketball blueblood, CHECK. Douchebag coach, CHECK.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Even if we finish second, I honestly don't care. This team has been one helluva pleasant surprise and the boys aren't done yet.
Only thing that could possibly lessen the season for me at this point would be a first round exit from the NCAA.

I didn't think there was a chance in hell they'd make the NCAA, so even that wouldn't lessen it imo.

When you're the basketball school chanting "overrated" at the football school, you've already lost.

CJ Jackson is a winner. That shot was pure ice in the veins. Also had 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 TO. 50% on his 3s.
Great comeback game for KBD, so glad to see him play well. He was more decisive with the ball tonight and also I don't think IU put a help defender on him as much as some other teams have recently. Wasn't the most efficient scoring day for him but, goodness gracious, 24 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks, 1 turnover? Are you kidding me? You can add his positive stats besides pts and rebounds together to make into a triple double for him, lol.
We had an advantage inside with Kaleb that we didn't utilize to the full extent we could have but IU was smart about getting Kaleb in foul trouble. He really will have to work on that. Fortunately, Potter gave us a few good things when he had to come in for Kaleb.
Another great game for Kam. So glad to see him playing this way after the suspension (as opposed to Loving post-suspension, ugh) because we really need his offensive presence out there.
Tate had too many dumb turnovers (as did Dakich) but also had 6 assists. Very Tate-like performance, he definitely helped. Dakich did not help so much but at least he had 4 assists to go with his 4 turnovers.
Andre was not quick enough to defend IU's guys without fouling. IU is basically playing small-ball right now and their guys are pretty athletic so it's not surprising but, yeah, I don't like Andre in a game like this. IU definitely put us on our heels a bit on D. They saw some of the ways we struggled against PSU and they capitalized tonight by playing quick, smaller line-ups (but with size advantages at guard) and just attacking the basket. We had a difficult time defending without fouling, the way the game was being called. Big foul disparity, to be expected at Assembly Hall, for sure.
It's so weird how we're very either/or on Potter and Young right now. I guess Holtmann has a mindset of one or the other in the game to game situation and must be deciding which based on practices and match-ups.
I can't remember rooting for a Wisconsin team as hard as I will be rooting for them this weekend.
Absolutely incredible that this OSU has played their last B1G game this season and still has hope of a B1G title.

I put this game on DVR to watch tonight and accidentally saw on YouTube of all places that we won in 2OT. So I am happy but pissed for finding out the result, and also because I think it will not have recorded that long. Lo and behold, I got to see the game winning 3 and with 30 seconds to spare. Holy shit, what a great game for this team to finish out the season on. That 3 from CJ was what everyone said, ice in the veins and so awesome to see him be the guy to hit that shot. Great night for him and of course, amazing game from KBD in every aspect pretty much...the second to last series in 2OT he just dominated with that incredible drive and then incredible defense running back. Tate was working really hard and put up some points, and it was huge to get Kam going early...he looks back in the groove and really I think his scoring is my biggest wildcard for this team to make a run. If he can play around that level, we are tough to stop...KBD can score from anywhere but CJ and Kam are very good from the perimeter. Great game boys and what an exclamation point to the regular season.
Now c'mon Wisconsin basketball...what, wtf did I just say?

Holy fuck! I just caught the replay on BTN. I couldn't watch last night so I avoided any media/friends that might have spoiled it for me. Wow. Talk about a "No, no, no, YES!!" moment when CJ threw up that long three. Extra painful loss for the Hoosiers. That makes it extra sweet. But what a hell of a game.
