Exactly, Indiana gets beat up for text messages and and bumper stickers; while thousands of dollars and assistant coaching positions are being doled out on a regular basis under the NCAA's watch.

It doesn't just seem like it. I'm pretty sure Izzo is like 0-58 in them.ETA: I shouldn't say that because the Mateen Cleaves teams always won them. But it's been a while I think.

State played extremely lazy. I like what I saw from freshmen Harris and Valentine. They should be good contributors all season. Pretty rusty first time out, but they always start out slow it seems.

Your underestimating Iowa here. They will be very good this year. I think Iowa beats Virginia Tech.

Geebus.... look at the teams in these 3 match-ups. #1, #4, #5, #6, #8, and #11 according the current AP poll.

Big win for the Spartans tonight. Gary Harris looks for real. Appling come through in the clutch. Looked night and day better than the UConn game (although still need to reduce the turnovers).
Like what I saw tonight.

Absolutely. Appling was huge in the final minutes. Great win for the MSU and the BigTen.

Good to see Appling take over like that. He's been a little tentative the past two years, but now it's his team and he knows it.Really like both Harris and Valentine. Very intelligent players, especially for freshmen.

when has that ever stopped Tommy Spray Tan? Sign em all.. someone will magically come up ineligible next summer and some senior will decide that indiana's just not the right fit any more despite tweeting only weeks earlier about how excited he is for the upcoming season. no worries.

So what's the MD basketball outlook in a post-Gary Williams world? They were ok last year, right? How are they this year?

Welcome...best part of all this? You don't have to deal with Ripeastapewood in this thread, so there's that
Things look good, IMO. The freshmen class is strong this year, and next year's class looks really good as well. This year's team is probably borderline top 25-ish, with next year's team even better unless they have some unexpected defections to the NBA. Two seniors this year, neither of which is irreplaceable, although the center Alex Len might bolt this year.You guys remember Smotrycz, I'm sure. He'll be eligible to play next year.

Oh, and first question... how do we pronounce B1G, exactly? Or do we still just call it the Big Ten?Hola, B1Gers

Big Ten. We're kind of old fashioned in the Big Ten. It may take some getting used to. For example, Randy Edsall will have to get used to saying things like, "Nothing matters but the BIg Ten Championship. We just want to play in Pasadena on New Years Day."Oh - and everyone hates Ohio. You will too. It kind of brings us all together.Oh, and first question... how do we pronounce B1G, exactly? Or do we still just call it the Big Ten?
Well, first Randy Edsall will have to get used to saying things like, "I'd like to finish with a .500 record so I can keep my job."Big Ten. We're kind of old fashioned in the Big Ten.

Really ugly win by IU tonight, they only played well for about 5 minutes of the game with Hulls and Oladipo pretty much carrying them. The Georgia team they played was really not good and just drug IU down to their level in a sloppy game.
Hadn't had a chance to see IU play this year. Obviously only one game, and they were playing in NYC so first time on the road for the young guys, but the Freshman all looked rough. Yogi threw up some bricks when he was wide open and didn't look good handling the ball. Dude is quick though and if IU is shooting well he's going to have a lot of opportunities to drive to the hoop.
Looking forward to tomorrow's game against UCLA or Georgetown.

I thought the whole second half was pretty solid. Oladipo was incredible, attacking the basket and Hulls was his usual self hitting the threes and dishing some nice assists. Good defense, taking some charges and getting the rebound. Zeller did not have a big ball game, but he was in foul trouble and they did not need him.

The first road game is always rough, but yes it was ugly.Ferrell and Hollowell were completely taken out of the game by the bright lights. Zeller still looks like he is fighting the flu. Sheehey was ice cold. Creek was a non factor. Watford played well but I would have really liked to see him go to the basket once Georgia was in foul trouble. He is still and forever way more comfortable just pulling up for jump shots. His rebounding is much improved this year though.Ugly, ugly win.

I am sure Tom Crean would love this. Crean is doing a great job of taking advantage of IU's tradition and incorporating it into what he is doing there. I am a huge, huge Knight fan. Make all kinds of excuses for him, always stick up for him when he steps in it, but Knight needs to get over himself and go back to Bloomington.

Have been a huge Knight fan since I was a kid. I think he usually provides great analysis, but I thought he was just OK calling this game. Still, a couple nice moments.The Hoosiers sucked for too big a chunk of that game, but Hulls and Oladipo were strong. Remy Abell continues to be a really good player off the bench.

####That game was one of the worst ref'd games I've ever seen at Breslin.

That really ####### hurts! That kid made the offense go, and played decent defense for a freshman. Crap!

Love this, though..."During a late time-out, Izzo said he looked at Appling and said: "It's time, big boy. You wanted the stage, you got it. So bring it home."" And he did.

Tell you what, though, I'll take "just OK" from BK over Dookie V's manic shtick ANY ####ing time. That was painful.

Great game until Georgetown ran out of gas in overtime.The Illini look great against USC and now get Butler in the Maui title game. Paul, Richardson, Abrams, Bertrand... They are loaded with ball handlers, shooters, and on the ball pressure. Butler will be interesting since they play the tough type of style the Illini will have to play night in night out in conference. Their bigs will be tested all year and need to hold their own for a tourney bid.

Good news on Harris. Sprained shoulder, out 2-3 weeks which was Izzo's best-case scenario. Should be back for Big Ten play.
