Don't these refs understand Indiana gun laws? They are treading on very thin ice after three straight, horrible calls, in favor of Ohio.

 

[MI Nightmare]

That series of fouls against Purdue, followed by a couple of Bucknut 3s, really crippled the Boilermakers as they were never able to overcome the deficit.

Ohio State did look better but Purdue ran with them. This score doesn't indicate how close this game really was (though Purdue is on a run). The Wazzu loss makes one raise an eyebrow but Purdue isn't half bad.

IU @ Illinois up next. Going with the Illini.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Groce looks like he's about ready to eat somebody. You gotta love college hoops.

 

[NDHoosier101]

IU is going to finish last in the B1G if we continue to turnover the ball like this. Pathetic.

Have to expect some sloppy play from the two youngest teams in the B1G. Keep an eye on both of them over the next couple of years...

Do you think Yogi stays 4 years?

 

[MI Nightmare]

39 all.

Agreed. That momentum looks to have carried over.

I still think this one goes down to the wire.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Bertrand is underutilized. If Illinois gets more production from him they win quite a few games.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Good Illini D but horrible IU possession. Overtime....

 

[cwerph]

No one wants to win this game.

 

[CardiacKemba]

i love college basketball

 

[cwerph]

That was great hustle to force free throws.

Yeah I'd be surprised if he left early. Vonleh is probably leaving after this year though.

 

[MI Nightmare]

That was a good battle and what I was expecting to see. It couldn't have been much closer.

 

[CardiacKemba]

Penn State giving Michigan State all it can handle, up 11 with 2 to go in the 1st half

 

[CardiacKemba]

Michigan State gets it down to seven, down 47-40 at the half

 

[CardiacKemba]

Spartans come out of the second half on a 10-0 run to regain the lead
