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

[Hooker, Anthony L]

I'm afraid that this team has too much trouble scoring, but we should still be able to win enough games through hard work and defense to make the NIT, or go crazy for one weekend at the BTT and win our way into the dance.  We're starting to "get it", but is it too late?  We've still got 14 league games to go, and the last half of the schedule HAS to be kinder than the front half, right?

That's the most frustrating part, if they had played this hard in December, the losses to TSU, Miami and PSU are probably reversed and we're 11-6 instead of 8-9. I was hoping a win in Bloomington might spark this team like it did in 2004, but I'm not sure this group has the same growth potential as that team did.

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.
