Completely agree. It was pretty obvious they don't want to give him the ball.

I have a question?
If Mo Creek is a shooter /scorer why do Verdell Jones and Jeremiah Rivers always go the other way with the ball? It seems like they would rather turn the ball over than to pass the ball to Creek.
Prime example: Creek open at the top of the key, waving his hands, still no pass. The same thing happens when Creek goes to the corner; they will not pass him the ball.
They seem to look him off and go to each other. Rewind the tape and take a look. You can really notice this when we played Grace but it’s happening every game now.

we looked awful tonight….I can't come up with many positives other than the fact that we won.

Verdell took over for a little while. Eslton and Watford really crash the boards and finish pretty well.

That's all i got….we took a step in the wrong direction tonight….back to work!

I like Doc Rivers in an IU hat doing halftime interviews. Can't hurt recruiting.

I was worried that this would only be affecting me. I'm watching the end of Michigan/Marquette (and they've confirmed a switch to Bloomington when this ends). But for now, this sucks. Even if it's just pregame and the first couple minutes…

Are they really going to show the last two minutes of a 15-point women's basketball game? Seriously BTN?

I love Gus Johnson. Sure he goes a little overboard, but it makes it fun. I would rather have him any day than some blahh monotone guy that sounds like he can't wait for the game to end. He brings a “big time game” feel to the B10 Network.

Wow!! I don't care if that Collins chick has no skill, she will always have my attention. Cross your fngers we get he a lot. lol

79-48 Indiana.

USC-Upstate trouble scoring and their offense has a long way to go according to Coach Payne. Statistics would also back this up.

Many thought Verdell was going to sign with Minnesota, but I think he had interest from Illinois and Kentucky as well.

Total domination tonight. These guys got the jitters out last week, so I don't think we'll have the same slow start. Even so, I don't think we quite pull out a 30 point victory.

91-67

Yes,Collins is impressive. Does anybody know if Illinois even tried to recruit Verdell? Ive been wonderin that since last year.
