The a$$ clown jumpsuit didnt age well past the 70's. But Indiana continues to want to appease the geratric population that is butt hurt over Dollar General Knight firing.

Ty Rodgers was in the back practicing some spread offense breakdowns. Wonder if we’re gonna see more of that to force some ball movement.
I really think fans better brace themselves for ten losses or more.
Nice catch!
We are a bad offensive team right now. Really poor ball and player movement. That is consistent with the past 5 seasons, so not sure we can expect huge improvement here

Duh! We are 8-3 so losing 7 more this year is likely.
We have 20 scheduled games left (19 Power 5) then add 5 or so more games for B10 & NCAA tourney. Going 18-7 for the rest of the year is still a damn good year and still a top 20 team.
We have a punchers chance with this years team to be special and get past the sweet 16. I am still excited, as I think we can play with anyone I've seen so far.

Man, I hope so.
Bonus points if he has a son named Efrem Zimbalist Winters Jr.
E.Z. Winters? Never heard of him, I say from my Chicago condo a few blocks from the blustery, needle-sharp winds of the lake.
I am securely braced. What now?
Enjoy the ride.
I can live with ten or more losses... as long as there are NO losses in March!
I'll make that deal right now. Eyes on the Prize.
Sounds like we're gonna get screwed in April again .
I’d be pretty happy w 10 losses. This is not some uber-talented group that can overwhelm most teams in our way. We’ve got some nice pieces but these guys have played very few games together.

We lost 10 last year in a Big Ten championship season.
10 losses equals:
-No National Championship
-No B1G Tourney Championship
-13-7 B1G record (likely puts us around 3rd to 5th)
I'm expecting a better B1G record but this isn't unrealistic.

While I am concerned with the last two games and the apparent leadership issues, still not yet overly concerned about where the team can be in March. We have won B10 championships in the recent past but that has not translated to tournament success. Also not concerned if we finish 3rd to 5th in the league this year, as long as we find success in the tournament. Most of the hand wringing is a direct result of the Penn St loss - and less so, the Alabama A&M scare - and that is understandable. But if we had beaten Penn St we would be chalking the Alabama A&M game to out of conference, taking opponent lightly, looking ahead to Mizzou, etc. I keep reminding myself that Kansas lost last year to an NIT team in Dayton, and they ended the season on top. Hopeful the team can gel sooner rather than later and prepare for a season ending run.
