Our boys did rally back and played well down the stretch. Got to give credit, McCamey hit a tough shot, lucky b*&^%$#@! :o)

Our answer was not fouling! That guy hit FT after FT in our first meeting at the Real Assembly Hall.

My damn eyes! They were closed at the Iowa game.

Question: Were we guarding the Illini player inbounding the ball before McCamey put teardrops into my barely open eyes?

where was Elston in the final minutes…. on the bench, I would trade DE for Pritchard in a min, but it doesnt seem the coach wants it that way. so he can be content with TP stat line 0f more fouls than points or rebounds for the rest of the year

I think we had a good answer for Tisdale. He scored 12 points. In the Home Game Vs. the illini he put up 27. We didnt have an answer for McAmeys circus shots.

Illinois won this game more than we lost it. We really didn't have much of an answer for their pick and roll. The winning off-balance shot by McCamey was money on his part. If Dumes stays closer, a foul is going to be called, and Watford just couldn't get over in time.

Bad call, but not a back breaker…I was proud that they didn't pack it in after that. They came to tie it up at 70.

Mccamey was the difference…he made some tough shots down the stretch.

That lame 'over the back' call was a back breaker, and Tisdale knocks down 2 freebies! Rivers was going away & just was stronger. Tough loss.

Rivers also hit 2 consecutive free throws, & under pressure. Big improvement!

+ J. Rivers showed his heart today stepping up making those freebies, while 99% of the IU faithful closed their eyes…including me. It seem like he has been working on his shot too.
+ I will take the progress and this team will win another road game this year, this is not last years squad at all.
+ Like the big line up
+ Crean coached his ass off in this one, keeping the guys into the game whether they were up or down, McCamey made a tough shot so not much could be done. Got good minutes form Bawa, Tija, Elston, and Dumes.

i would like to commend rivers on his free throw shooting.. much better and he looks to be taking over a leadership role.. great game for the hoosiers even in a loss.. IU is playing much better in the b10 that i ever thought after the out of conference games.. watford is continues to be a question mark for me.. he needs to play stronger..

I would add that my hats off to this entire team as well as Coach Crean. They played very good on the road and if it wasn’t for that ridiculous foul call on Jeremiah Rivers in the last minute or so going for a loose ball, we may have pulled this one out. I am very pleased with our progress thus far. I was very proud of the Hoosiers today and I would bet if you’d ask the illini players, they would tell you how lucky they were to get this win. Bring on the soilers.
