They remind me of a Seinfeld episode when Jerry realized he was even - steven. Win one, lose one. Been that way all year. But a nice win in front of the home crowd.

I'm not happy about Evansville being yet another team in the race for the #3 spot in the MVC.

Gotta survive in Stillwater for twenty more minutes. 8-3 to start out in the Big 12 would be really nice, and would equal a tie for third with Baylor or Kansas.

 

But we haven't won there since 1988. Just gotta survive.

I have a sickening feeling in the put of my stomach that Calipari is winning it this year.

Ya, they're the best team in the country. Obviously anything can happen come tourny time but because of the way they defend they're going to have to miss a lot of jump shots to be beat.

Meh, the 3 seed really means nothing this year.

I say 3 seed, but what I really mean is avoiding the 7 seed. Hate them playing on Thursday. Don't want any chance of ISU being out before I get there down to St. Louis on Friday.

Agreed. Far and away the best team this year, imo. Which makes the "1" on the right side of their record that much sweeter!

Supposedly VJ3 is doubtful to play tomorrow, which I more than ok with. I'd much rather see more of Abell + a few guys already playing (namely Oladipo) stepping up as ballhandlers, like what happened against Purdue.

'Cuse-gtown was a lot of fun. Both very good teams but both of them have a gaping hole in their overall game.

and Austin Rivers just cements his legacy in the Duke-UNC series. Wow.

Um wow.

Wow, Zeller on the last 3 possessions of the game:

 

Put a missed three into own hoop for 2 points.

Miss 2nd free throw after being fouled on the inbound.

Let Rivers have 25 feet to obviously shoot a 3 even though there are only 3 seconds left.

Zeller needs to get his hand up there but I absolutely hate switching in that situation. Bad play by zeller just not a situation he should have been put in.

Ol Roy just ain't that good. :lolhitting

 

He will never adjust, and coach K will coach circles around him. 4 losses already with that talent is hilarious.

Hands up plus pressure him, make him drive with such little time left, it would have been a running shot. He played it like it was a 1st half run of the mill possession, not aware of time and score.

 

But yes, they sucked on screens all night.

Zeller can't let Rivers shoot that 3. He let him step into it and everything. Run at him so he can't get his feet set.

The Zeller family has too many kids.

So do the Plumlees

Zeller-Leonard should be a good matchup tonight.

I'm predicting 64-57 IU. A game Illinois has within reach but can never really get closer than 3-4 points. If Indiana is hitting their threes it could be a long night, if they're struggling Illinois has a legit shot to pull of the "upset." I really don't think these teams are that far apart though. They've overachieved and underachieved depending on the game.

The last couple games IU hasn't taken nearly as many threes. They've done a much better job of attacking the rim. If they're able to do that, IU should win, especially since it's at home.

Zeller's have too many kids? Hell, they should have never stopped. They keep getting better haha. Hearing the crowd is insane at IU tonight.

Nice speech Bruce.... That really fired everyone up....
