When the crowd got nuts, the d bolted down and usually got a steal for very unconventional fast breaks. I think our defense is what is going to keep us in games. I've mentioned before that I thought our help d was really shitty, but tonight it looked great. We were switching on all guard screens and that really confused TCU leading to many of the steals, but one more thing we need to work on is the fast break. This team just keeps on getting better every week! One more thing I live in Louisville and it's a clash between people that like 3 teams here, but a kentucky fan told me that UK hasn't even practiced this week yet. I guess Gillespie told the team if they were going to play like AAU team then they would be one. Man I would love to throw an IU win down their throats.

It is fun to watch a team playing this hard. Fun to watch Pritchard maturing before our eyes.

I didn't enjoy those 13 points slipping away at all, but otherwise, that second half was AMAZING. <br>Besides Buljan, we absolutely shut them out. The crowd was really raucous too. The airballers, 22 and 14(?), got punished.<br>High fivin Coach and all the players was awesome too. <br>Great display, on a national stage nonetheless.

The announcers said, "that's how you earn a hard practice tomorrow" . Touche. <br><br>Cut down on some of that slop, and we destroy TCU...dare I say would compete with most of the Big10? They showed more tonight than any previous game. Unfortunately, the showed alot of the same...turnovers and inability to finish (and some undisciplined defene). Overall, it was fun to watch...love it. I'm not worried about how it finished. The announcers said, “that's how you earn a hard practice tomorrow” . Touche.

The IU crowd was great too!
