They're selling tickets for Saturday's game for $5 now. Apparently you need a student ID to buy them, but not to get in? The email was worded in a confusing way. Really, though–$5 just sounds desperate. Anyone want a cheap ticket?

In other news, the women's team is really having a great year–probably the perfect time for them to do it: Get more attention, get attendance up, hope that those fans hold over once Coach Crean gets IU back on the winning side and fills AH up again.

That was crazy. I don't think we will ever see that again from Mr. Roth.

Yea i saw that, that was pretty tight, specially for a white boy who just shoot threes….he got some long arms on him

Another positive thing from last night was Roth's rejection of the break away bucket. It was quite a nice treat for the loyal IU fans who were still watching late in the second half. Even the buckeye fans thought it was nasty.

I liked the old St. John's arena much better than the new Ohio State arena. I liked that big state of Ohio in the middle of the floor. I caught the IU/OSU game from 1998 on ESPN Classic last night and those of you touting AJ Guyton as one of the greatest IU players are right on. That guy was amazing.

VJIII is getting better, the team looks much better with him on the floor. I don't think they are getting the offensive concept down real well right now, or TC is not giving them a lot to work with. OSU was en fuego and they hit about everything they put up, so what are you gonna do?

In the sake of positivity and all things wrapped in sunshine and smiles, I would like to mention how happy/relieved/astonished I was that Malik Story was able to finish his break-away layup against Ohio State. To see him rumble down the court with the grace of a rhino on broken rollerskates and make (!!!) an uncontested first grade layup without dribbling the ball of his foot was a very welcome sight. Keep up the highlight reel!

I think a big thing killing this team is lack of experience...but in practices.

These freshman probably are working harder than ever before in practice, but not likely hard enough. They don't have a commanding senior to harass them and FORCE them to work even harder.

Basset had Calloway and Wilmont. Crawford had Basset/Ellis to bust him.

These young guys have no-one. I'm not saying they're NOT working hard in practice, but they probably aren't working hard enough for reasons out of their control.

I think Nick Williams has had a couple of nice games in a row too, he is showing the capability to be a pretty good scorer. I wish he would take some of the shots that Dumes takes

Musberger is awful but no one is worse than Jimmy Dykes. That guy is terrible and an idiot who offers nothing.
Lavin is fine. Erin Andrews is a delight.

VJ3 had some silly turnovers but he is getting better. I think Pritchard is going to be a solid role player for us. He's the Cleveland Plain Dealer Ohio Player of the Year! (just had to write that)

Crean stays inordinately positive, I saw a cut away of the IU huddle as they cut away for commercial and he was banging his legs and shook his head. I don't know why, but I liked that. Maybe he was getting his game face adjusted...

I, for one, like the Lavin.

Musberger, on the other hand…

VJ is coming along nicely, has the same slow drive to the basket as Paul Pierce, though he obviously isn't close to that. I think he can actually become a valuable player if he practices his dribble and gains about 30 lbs. He can be a hybrid 1-2 because I don't think he is really either. I think we can put to rest the Daniel Moore experiment. If VJ, Williams, Pritchard (who really needs to work on his agility this summer), and Dumes keep progressing I think they can play valuable minutes next year
