I love it....Big Boyyyyyyeeeee! I will put money on it that Crawford would leave if he doesn't get minutes versus Bassett. Crawford's play may lose us a Big Ten Title down the road if not careful...mainly bc Crawford is careless. They winning in spite of his minutes. His lack of maturity shows no more than when he tries to make a move and is not aggressive with it. He thinks that he is still in high school where he was the top talent and can make any move he wants. What separates him from Gordon is that EJ is such a better player at this point that his freshman mistakes aren't that magnified. Crawford can't shoot like Gordon, can't muscle as well as Gordon and isn't as poised as Gordon! I would love for Crawford to stick around, but I'm worried that both will be gone by next season. @ZAPPATISTA: You are giving away clues to your identity! I love it….Big Boyyyyyyeeeee!

There were a couple times when you couldn't hear yourself speak, but other than that I was very dissapointed. After all we are IU. Blame it on the placement of the fans in the hall if ya want. Whatever it is we are the best team in the big ten we should act like it. I also thought the fans sucked at this game.

The simple fact is if they had played this way all season they would probably have only a couple of losses thus far. They played a great game. I thought we played well in spurts.

Other than that Packer was an absolute idiot and Verne Lunquist was not any better. For instance: DeAndre Thomas looks nothing like Eric Gordon, yet he called Gordon, Thomas on one occasion. What Else: Oh yeah, Thomas did not stomp on Pruit. In fact, Pruit took a swing at Stemler and Thomas, which I thought was an offense worthy of suspension. Yet somehow Thomas gets a tech as well. Calm me a blind Hoosier fan, but I didn't see it. Ok, I'll stop whining now....must have been carry over from listening to Illinois fans....My apologies... IU needs to step up BIG TIME in a game AT MINNESOTA. Tubby can coach and he has some solid players. I have grossly underestimated this Minnesota team so far. My hope is that this game against Illinois was a nice wake up call. Hopefully Armon can start and play plenty... Crawford can give us a few sporadically good minutes as needed.

We donot pick enough and then when we do the guards( Crawford especailly) go the wrong way. This takes away the "roll" as well as the intended mismatch opportunity. Illinois looked like they broke the code on our offense. Uconn game could be a heartbreaker for us if we play like this then.
