May be expected on the road in an environment like that, but one too many freshman mistakes today.

The portal will giveth again I imagine.
We literally do not find a way to make luck happen. It's just these 5050 situations that we can never put in our way to either stretch out a lead or put the pressure on the other team.
P.s. that white haired ref should retire. Like 10 years ago.

Last shot, Ugh. Why was he even in the game?? Great effort. Great fight. Dang.
RJ after this game, sadly.
Heck of a game. Hard to let this one slip away at the end.
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.

I'd much rather see him turn it around and be great for us.
That was a great game, but I am soooooooo sick of losing to rivals this year. We are due.
This was always going to be a tough ask to go into Assembly Hall and win against an Indiana team this good. Proud of how well our young players competed today. Yes they made mistakes, but that's to be expected.
We were +6 on the road against the 2nd best team in the B1G without our leading scorer. I would hardly call this a game where we should’ve “taken care if business against a team we should beat”
That T on Hawkins was ridiculous. Nice win refs!
He was going for defense to get a steal. We just didn't steal or foul to get a chance to change personnel
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.
Just brutal. Brutal. At the end of the day gotta make your open threes. Sadly we missed ours down the stretch. This loss hurts. The effort we played with was deserving of the win. Really tough loss. I thought that one was going down for RJ. I really did. Ugh...
Likely for defense, since we were expecting to either foul or get a steal. He could have been subbed out after the foul.
Might be an 11 seed playing an 11 seed if we’re not careful.

Nope. Goode is every bit as capable in the press.

If it's open, then sure. Mayer and Goode weren't open. But that was a really good look.

bummer, great game but nothing to hang our heads about
Shooting lost us another game. Gallant effort by the guys, credit to them for that, but we missed wide open threes in the second half and a critical free throw. B10 refs are an embarrassment to the game. They gave IU 7 points in the first half with the bogus T on CH, missed a call and IU hit a 3 immediately after (don't recall exactly what it was but noted it at the time), and counted the last second first half shot that should not have counted (not completely sure on this one as I haven't gone back to watch the replay). Disappointing, hope we are rewarded in the tournament. We more than deserve it.
So many wasted possessions.
-Harris trying to be a scorer
-Ty has to lose the over the head reverse lay up.
-Melendez no confidence at all
-Epps driving with no outlet available. Against major shot blockers.
-Dainja turnovers down low
-Hawkins not looking to score down low.

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
