[Oskee] OK it was 60- 58.....

[Robert Mingee]

Yeah, I know I've been pretty rough on Randle here of late, but to give credit where credit is due, he really played some great defense yesterday, and played the entire game (according to the box score on fightingillini.com) without fouling out -- that's gotta be a first for him.  If we can maintain this level of intensity, which will be tough until we can win one (maybe back at home Wednesday?), we can at least avoid the Big Ten cellar, and maybe still have a shot at the NIT.  I think any post-season experience this year would really help the freshman going into next year.

EVERY frigging loose ball down the stretch goes to IU.  Damn.  IMHO, the biggest play (of many huge plays) was when one of the Hos-yer guards tried to penetrate and dish and Pruitt got a hand on the ball, only to see it careen directly to another hose-yer on the wing, who calmly drains the three.  Randle skies for the rebound, only to come down on the baseline.  Randle skies for the rebound, an IU player flys in and knocks the ball out of his hands and out of bounds.  No zebra sees it, so the ball gets awarded to IU, somehow.  Kudos to Brock and Randle for a dynamite defensive effort against "he who shall not be named".  If they had only played this hard in every game... The ASU and OSU wins are looking better and better.
