I agree with your point that we should be happy with this win, considering Kentucky lost to VMI at home and Utah lost to SW Baptist State.

There are a lot of teams that are considered more talented than IU that will lose to teams like IUPUI and maybe worse. We'll take it where we can get it!

I have to disagree on the scholarship for Daniel Moore. He seems like a very smart player with a nice handle and definitely more raw talent than Surh or some past walk-ons, but come on, it's been two games against bad competition.

He signed on to be a walk-on. He'll most likely play huge minutes this season and be very valuable, but next season everyone would be complaining that we wasted a scholarship when we didn't have too as Moore sits behind Jones, Hulls and Rivers.

He might not be much of an option to score, but he's arguably the best ball handler on the team and hey, that's going to merit significant playing time. Once he gets a bit more acclimated to the college game, he might look to score a bit more in certain situations.

A win's a win, we'll take it. There are a lot of teams better than IU this year that will lose to worse teams than IUPUI in pre-conference play, so there is no such thing as a bad win at this stage of the season. Two positives I see from the box score – we out rebounded them, and we improved our free throw shooting %.

Pritchard actually had a double double 19 points and 10 boards.

You forgot a name under the BAD and UGLY columns…JOBE

That poor kid looked like he was on the streets of Paris without Tom-Tom Go last night! I hope he can learn how to get position before the Big10 season starts. He would be a great asset to plug in the middle of that 2-3 zone…I think the 2nd foul called on him was complete BS, but that's what happens when the refs know you are clueless. Bring back Blab to show this kid some skills…PLEASE!!!!
