IU Plays Itself out of Great, Close Win

 IU Plays Itself out of  Great, Close Win


    Ugh! We played good enough to win, and then bad enough to lose.

    Man, after, some terrible blow outs, including one they had some chances against Northwestern (Mike Woodson has gone 0-5 against them since his four years at the helm in Bloomington), and a scrappy and somewhat lucky win at Ohio State, and just being demoralized by Illinois at Assembly Hall in our friendly but unfriendly confines (Fire Mike Woodson!).

    We gave up too many three pointers, then played some defense, went ahead, and Anthony Leal was so clutch!

    So Woodson took him out for the final possession! Ugh.

    We lost on a terrible turn around corner attempt by Rice, who had been clutch and huge until then.

    IU is 5-5 in the Big Ten, and Purdue at West Lafayette is next.

    We have to play better. And be better coached.

    Mgbako played pretty well, and Ballo and Reneaux missed some bunnies. And yeah, senior Tre Galloway missed his one and one to let Maryland have the chance to their lead.

    Free throws! I like the Terps, I root for them most nights, not this one. Oh, it started at noon, caught the second half after my special stake conference.

    We should be at least 6-4 now. But then again, one make by OSU in Ohio would already have us sub .500.

    Hoosiers.

    Man, we get in our own way.
