Holy cow. Fantastic half.

Wow.

Need to maintain and increase the separation now.

That was a three point break for Indiana. We have to rebound.

I'm counting on fresher legs as we move forward. Can we start playing defense though.

I'm hoping double or triple overtime

...or Britt Prince/Elkhorn North

Ohio State is looking very good versus Illinois.

Remember, Howard and Fred started the same year (I think). Rabbit and the tortoise storyline. Juwan started fast and Fred was extremely slow out of the gate. Remind me, who ended up winning the race?

Us 73 Them 65 2

Their bigs are impressive. The way we defend tends to confuse them just enough to make a difference. Hopefully our fresher legs will also be a significant difference maker.

Indiana it is. Game winner with 5 seconds to go. PSU missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Sort of funny - Indiana cheerleaders chant "let's go Hoosiers"; but it truly sounds like let's go losers.

87-56

He played with Josiah at Northstar, and I will go to my death bed advocating that Josiah, not Donovan, was the best player on that team.

Sheesh, watching Maryland's abysmal attempt at playing Wisconsin today gives me added optimism in the game we play on Friday. What a beat down.

We can and should beat all comers. That said, my biggest fear is a team with quick guards who can fill it up from behind the arc.

How long does it take to fly back to Ann Arbor?

You need to add the 100's of support staff that are not ticketed, but are present at the game. LPD, security, ushers, media, concessions and so forth.

From a Creighton source...and this was from last season: This probably belongs on the basketball board, but it certainly has applicability to football. Creighton is putting all of its resources into basketball and trying to build a national brand, according to a very reliable source. Current deal for EVERY scholarship basketball player, per year: 1. $75,000 cash 2. Condo 3. Car NIL is total insanity. It is not sustainable and it certainly isn't fair. Even the NFL and NBA have rules on what teams can pay players.

I guess I didn't realize the Watt brothers grew up in Pewaukee. Good athletes from that town.

That is hilarious! But our staff is almost as lame in their "attempts" to distribute shirts. Sad!

If we've been there and done it year after year, then I overwhelmingly agree that a watch party is not warranted. BUT, our lack of basketball history allows us the right to celebrate incremental victories. We struggle getting to the dance. "Our story" can be and should be celebrated. And we may have a flippin parade if we win one, and we may shut down schools if we get to the sweet 16. ...and lest we forget, we have some of our brothers talking statues...soooo

Yeah...I heard this from one of my people; but I heard it was more speculation rather than rumor. I also heard that the family is happy that Natalie is here. So although anything is possible, I am going to guess that she remains for year two.
