    Yeah, the reversible jacket crowd is real happy in Indiana.

    No Sid, you forget...the reversible jackets are seasonal...one side for football and one side for basketball. 8)

    The Badgers really made us look bad yesterday at the Kohl Center. We seem to be heading in the wrong direction the second half of the season. Unfortunately I do not see any ray of hope either.

    I know, right? All my teams are regressing at the time of year they have traditionally stepped it up another notch. :(

    Ugh....one of the worst performances I have seen out of a Matta-coached team. Stu is right, we are headed the wrong direction at the worst time.

    I wasn't sure where to put this, but I didn't want to start a new topic for only one comment. This is from Fort Wayne sportswriter, Reggie Hayes:

    Hoosiers pick up a good one...they were overdue in ELansing. Hadn't won there in something like 17 years!

    We're gonna need it Don....Sparty is smarting from their recent loss to the Hoosiers and would love nothing better than to pay us back for last years classic in ELansing that we pulled out with a Buford jumper at the buzzer for the championship. This is gonna be a battle and not for the faint of heart.....Big 10 basketball at its very best

    Wild and ugly finish, but a win is a win! We could not get much to go in the basket in the first half, but that was corrected in the final 20 minutes. Craft played a superb game in the second half and scored a season high of 21 points. Superior foul shoot helped as well 20-24.

    MSU was very difficult for us to contain inside. Harris had a great game as well. Looks like the Hoosiers are pretty much assured of conference title.

    Uh.....is the season over? Last I looked, there are games left to be played. Nothing is assured.

    Sid,

    I do not see Indiana losing any more conference games! :) (regular season)

    Don, as an IU fan, I appreciate your optimism, but we both know the path to the B10 regular season championship - and the tournament, for that matter - is fraught with peril, especially when playing on the road.

    Hoosiers are playing well and certainly have the inside track. Road trip to Minny should be doable and they end the year at M - should be for all the regular season marbles. Our visit Bloomington next week will be big.....we'd need to play lights out to steal a win and we have been very inconsistent lately, but certainly capable if IU is not on their game.

    Big win for us last night over Sparty.....if you would have told me that our leading scorer would have gone 4 for 16 and we still win, I'd have told you you were insane.....Craft was brilliant and took over the game. Maybe the spark that we need to get some momentum going into post-season.....
