We so desperate, we've contacted almost everyone in the portal so far.

@IUfanBorden and @IUBtown, come share in our misery. But leave some of your friends at home.
Aggravating group....G on 14-0 run, take a 4 point lead, then get blasted over the next 5 minutes; 25-7.

Miami had 29 second chance points...

Bates didn't make a shot in tourney: 0-13.

Is what it is...

After Miami went on that run, IU was chipping away and Bates chucked a 24 footer 5 seconds into the shot clock. He’s got to be brutally frustrating for you guys.

Par for the course with some on this team...

Still look back at Kopps shot. Just why? Dude hasn't hit a shot like that in 22 years. IU is rolling, Miami is reeling, makes a great steal, then tries to do more than he is capable. Pull the ball out.

A bucket there would ahve been huge....Nope. Miami goes on an 8-0 run.

Glad Kopp is gone.....Hopefully Bates hits the portal.

And there is a chacne we are really bad next year.

Yes he is but they'll need him next year.
 
IU outrebounded , 49-31.

JHS had same amount of FGA(22), than TJD and Race combined(22). Wow.
 
Rebounds IUDef vs Miami Ofreb was key IMO.
29 second chance points....Omire with 18 rebounds...No one but TJD/Galloway shot FT's...

Just one debacle of a stat after another....

TJD with 10 FGA....That is criminal
 
Just never seen a team go from 60 to ZERO, so fast..

IU trailed 40-30....Scored final 5 of half. Scored first 9 of the second half. Led 44-40. So after trailing by 13(28-15),IU went on a 29-12 run.

Then POOF!!....

Mind boggling.

I keep seeing this and don’t know the backstory. Fill me in.
It’s a school set up by Jerry Falwell Sr to further indoctrinate people into the moral majority. But it’s “Not-For-Profit” and has an endowment of like $2B (because of course it does) and has had a bunch of scandals surrounding Jerry Falwell jr siphoning those endowment funds to friends.

Also there’s just other scandals with the Falwells that highlight some religious hypocrisy but I won’t get into that. At the end of the day, it’s a NFP college that’s interested in raising money and not really interested in operating as a college.

It makes so much sense now. Painter knew his team didn’t have what it takes to win it all and decided it would be better not to build on this lead. Kudos to Illinois for recognizing what Painter was doing and not letting him get away with it by passing them.

A lot of chess playing in the B1G.
