When you say “launch”…you mean…he's KICKING the ball off the backboard, RIGHT? I've tried for the past few weeks to figure out the physics of his shot…and the only explanation I have is that he's kicking the ball. What's your theory?

I have no idea what you two are talking about. Mike White launches easy layups off the backboard harder than anyone in the BigTen.

Mike White: Great player or the GREATEST player?

I completely agree….I had to mute my tv to enjoy the 2nd half cuz damn that dude wouldn't shut up and call the game. Who the hell died and make him judge, jury, and executioner??? Prick! Go back to North Carolina and your lover boy Coach K!

I've felt the same way for about 5 weeks now! He's instant offense….FOR THE OPPONENT! He refuses to dunk the ball…he bricks layups b/c he can't hold on to it…and for Christ's sakes…PLEASE!!!!! grab a freakin rebound and HOLD ON TO IT!

WIth that being said….I love the fact that Taber is the dirty worker who DOESN”T look to shoot! WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO A TEAM THAT HAS A TON OF SCORES! Play Taber!

okay…everyone else is predicting…so here's mine…

DJ gets hurt in the 1st half and misses most of the game. EJ goes on a tear and scores somewhere between 27 and 29 points. For some reason, and I'm not sure why, just call it a “GUT” feeling, but I think DeAndre's gonna have a HUGE game tonight!
SCORE….um….How about IU 80 and MSU 61….I'll check back later and see how it turns out! GO HOOSIERS!

You probably shouldn't try to apply for a job as a Psychic at the local carnival anytime soon.
All that being said, I have to be honest with you…I didn't see this type of beatdown coming either!

why doesn't ESPN just hire kent benson, pat knight and ted kitchel to do their “reporting?” sampson should go, but give the coach and players credit in some semblance of unbiased “reporting.”

oh yeah he has a right, but mentioning it every second? He made his point a long time ago, and I felt he didn't do enough commentating about the game itself. Those kids played their butts off and I think they we ignored. I think sampson should go, but I felt he wasn't being objective while the game was occuring. The crowd was screaming “kelvin Sampson” and they chose to ignore mentioning that. I respect your opinion, but I just disagree. At least we can agree it was a great game.

Since Bob left, Dicky V says every freaking game he does we should name the court, gym, state, and concession stands after bob….get over dude….it will happen when it happens…and if it does. I like his enthusiasm and energy but he harps on things too long….Dicky don't make me put in the Billy Packer category……

it is 11:39, 5 days and 20minutes til KS is fired.
Those hugs were very awkward looking……….very odd to me.

Just my medical observation….I think DJ has just a tweek of the knee….torn stuff, you can't walk on it…(been there done that) and I really didn' t see any hyperextension. Might be a little sore…but seriously….do you think DJ White would miss a PU game?

IU fans survived the Bob Knight times. They can do it again. There's a good team to work with right now. Any coach would be happy to grab on. Hm, why did Knight retire before the season was ended? Think he smelled this one coming?

Is there a particular reason one of the referees need stand by Izzo all night allowing him to have his ear as if he owned it? Izzo starts his jargon with them before the first junpball and never lets up, regardless as to whether his team is up 20 or down 20. I like down 20 the best. It just seems the ref could move 10-15 feet and not make it look like a party.

i dont think dicky v hates us!! i think he loves the tradition of IU and hates cheaters… do you hate cheaters ?? i do !

I'm not a Dicky V fan but he was talking good about the university and slamming Sampson and Greenspan for what they've done. This iwas first game I've heard from him where I agreed with him. He went on and on about how IU fans don't put up with rule breaking and how IU has always been a clean program.

Guess that answered your question!!!

Great game for IU. Man Dicky V, is such a jerk. Bob knight is gone , and how many times can you insult our university. Just feels like the nation is against us, and hopefully we take that attitude to every game and destroy the other teams.

ha…next year isn't going to matter when we're banned from postseason for a year (at least) Enjoy what he can do now and the way this team is playing…three straight quality games…too bad we didn't get the W at Wisconsin, but we've still got the Big Ten title in reach.
