Is A.J. Ratliff done? Yes, he is

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Update: A.J. Ratliff is off the IU team (Herald Times)
Note: Due to Ratliff’s departure, some updates have been made (in bold and italics) from the original post I penned last night. Unfortunately, what I forecasted at that time has come true. A.J. Ratliff is no longer a Hoosier.
First, a preface: Prior to the season, [...]

The Afternoon After: Northwestern

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Notes written while basking in the defeat the smug jackass to the right took last night.
First off, forgive us ITH’ers. E is still recovering from Super Bowl Sunday. Apparently he was drinking cranberry juice yesterday in an attempt to recover from a particularly debaucherous Saturday. In other words, he was already spent by the game [...]

White, Gordon help IU pull away against Northwestern

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

It took a while for the Hoosiers to pull away in this one — thanks to Northwestern’s back cuts and three-point shooting — but with around eight minutes to go, Eric Gordon hit a few shots, D.J. White chipped in some free throws and that was that: 75-63, IU wins. For the afternoon Gordon [...]

The Morning After: Wisconsin

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

E was good and worked up tonight, so technically, this is the minute after. You get the point.
After UConn essentially dismantled IU last Saturday, there were two overriding points of view. The first was to assume that IU played poorly, met an athletic team that neutralized its strengths, and suffered a weird blip on the [...]

What happened to A.J. Ratliff?

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Almost two months ago, I wrote about A.J. Ratliff’s return and what it would mean for the Hoosiers rotation. Here’s a brief excerpt from that post to refresh your memory:
The Hoosiers don’t need Ratliff for his offense. They need his senior leadership and his tenacity on defense. Two seasons ago, he held Adam Morrison to [...]

ITH Podcast No. 2: What A.J. Ratliff’s return will do for the ’skod’

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

It’s that time again … here’s another podcast. Not as horrible as the last time, but certainly not without many faults, including but not limited to: mic and volume levels, misspoke words (indicated in the the title there) and I still, you know, say you know a million times. I need a shock each [...]
