Pretty good times

What an impressive and dominant road win! So much to be excited about:
1. 13 of 15 roads wins - we have no fear in going on the road and actually seem to be driven by road kill!
2. Largest margin of victory in the wanna-be Assembly Hall ever!
2. Incredible player management - BU has done a great job of juggling lineups, filtering in the Freshman, keeping Coleman motivated and sticking with guys to work through issues (Grandison's rough 1st half and huge back to back 3's in the 2nd half).
3. Team Defense - .68 DER in the 2nd half, are you kidding me ... on the road??? TJD goes 3-9 for 6 points (way overrated) and Thompson goes 5 of 13 for 13 points. Indiana shot 35.7% and 23.1% from three.
4. Ball Movement - the play in the 2nd half where they worked it around the horn and DMW dropped the 3 was a thing of beauty!
5. Trent Frazier - his two-way effort today was magical! Pitbull energy on defense and his crossover pull back 3 broke ankles from the court well into the student section! I think I heard Robbie Hummel even scream in pain!
I hope everyone is truly enjoying this season as much as I am. We have battled through so much adversity which I am confident will make us battle tested in March. More importantly, the team's culture seems to be special! Best of luck in Purdue but let's enjoy this ride!

On the contrary. I’m at the place where it can take 20 minutes to remember really important things.You must be pretty young.

My two favorite Kofi moments:
1. Him taking a very low feed into the post then kicking it out for an assist on a three. That took skill, vision and BBIQ.
2. When he took a shot to the sternum and still blocked the shot. Just great disciplined defense.
Things like this show he isn't just a great athlete or physically gifted, he truly basketballs.

This goes under the category of 'never change IU fan, never change'

They don't even know what a Hoosier is (like the rest of us).

Two of the biggest smiles I saw from Kofi today were when he assisted from the post on a Trent three and when he caused a turnover on a defensive hustle play in the corner. Dude’s a straight-up winner!I believe this succinctly captures this afternoon in Bloomington. Cover photo on latest Inside the Hall post The Minute After: Illinois

To me he just needs to block out better on defense. He’s starting to show signs here and there so I’m encouraged
Go Illini!
We are talking about a sophomore

Everyone keeps saying 13 wins in the last 15 road games which is incredible by itself, but one of those games was without Kofi and the other where was Ayo got his face broken duing that 5 game in 11 days stretch (or whatever)
And honestly, if your coach didn't lean on that if he had it??????

This is his 3rd year. Let's talk that way. Last year was his second. You might have thought he would work hard on a jump shot.
Dickinson did it.

Trent can never, EVER, get enough praise. IMHO, of course
