21-10 is what I predicted. I hope I am right. Nevertheless, we need to win at least 3 of them. This game would have been a bonus considering we were on the road in a hostile environment without our best player (closer). I unlike a majority am happy that we showed fight and kept it down to the wire. I think we reinstituted today that we can play with anyone anywhere. Am I disappointed that we lost? Yes! But there is hope yet.Man that sucks. We had that game in hand. We are so due for one of these big wins. Great fight from the boys, almost had it. We should win our next four and go into the btt at 21-10
I really like Goode for what he is capable of, but I would still give the defensive edge to RJ.Nope. Goode is every bit as capable in the press.
Well, drawing the foul in that situation was a good result..Bad finish, but great game. Epps didn’t run the play again, which I have a feeling that is what BU was on him about earlier in the game. Run the play.
That’s the top two right there.Not sure what’s more frustrating, the missed lay-ups or the second chance wide open 3 balls they drained over and over again.

Why was he in the game?Poor RJ. That would have been the ultimate redemption. I feel so bad for that kid.
The T is not what killed us. The missed layups killed us.Missed too many easy layups in the 1st half. The T on Hawkins hurt. In the 2nd half when up by 7 we needed to score
Agreed, but the game was there to be won. Happy with the effort, but when you have a lead with under a minute to go, have to bring it home.We lost on the road to a top 15 team without our best player. It's tough considering how long we led but nothing to hang out heads about.
Truthfully I don't know why he was even in the game at that point.i guess as a defensive force but is a absolute Achilles heal on the offensive endPoor RJ. That would have been the ultimate redemption. I feel so bad for that kid.
There was supposed to be a foul tho. Defense offense subs are super common in this situation as Indiana should have never broken press and scored.There is a very small chance we get a steal.
There was almost a 100% chance of needing a 3 pointer in the last seconds.
Who are you putting in now? (that's rhetorical)
I disagree. It "could" have been a turning point, but the team kept their composure and rebuilt the lead in the second half. But it definitely killed the run that could have given us more breathing room.I think the dumb technical foul on hawkins was the point where everything just started to break down.
IU did a pretty good job of getting their non-TJD post players the ball and hit some tough contested jumpers, but what bugged me was the number of times we flashed a double-team against Hood-Schafino or some other guy we weren’t supposed to be doubling and got burned on a rebound or wide open three after they broke us down. We’ve done that all year and just have to be better about it.Watching IU’s high low and Hood-Schifino’s midrange game was frustrating
Break down? We went up 9 in the second half. We extended the lead.I think the dumb technical foul on hawkins was the point where everything just started to break down.
They had every opportunity to win this game.
