Hey folks, Just some last words on the blowout win over Wisconsin tonight. -Coach Jack and the Hoosiers seemed pretty pleased with their win tonight, and for good reason.
IU loses 62-49. The Hoosiers just didn't have it tonight as the Badgers controlled both sides of the court. DJ White led the Hoosiers with 22 points and 17 rebounds against a large front-line for Wisconsin.
And shooting well. He is wearing a tan-colored brace on his left, non-shooting wrist. We should get an official diagnosis (or something close to it) after the game. Things are snowy here in Madison and the Kohl Center is rather sparce.
18:49 IU 44 - Wisc. 25 Both teams miss on their first possession before Amber Jackson hits a deep jumper for the Hoosiers' first points of the half.
Hey folks, Tonight seems like a good night to shirk the errands, as the end of the world is being forecasted by the good people who cover the weather in our fair state.
Mike and Chris are on the road to Madison right now, so allow me to begin the pre-game hoopla as IU's first encounter with Wisconsin nears.
This showed up in my inbox tonight, thought I'd throw it your way. It appears IU is looking to beat Purdue at something else: attendance.
(* Note: I am aware that the following post has nothing to do with Indiana football...but c'mon it's Superbowl week, everyone has an opinion...Mine being in bold.
Jeff Rabjohns of the Indy Star talked to Eric Gordon Sr. this morning and is reporting that Gordon did hurt his wrist but will play against Wisconsin.
UPDATE (11:30 AM): I received an e-mail from J.D. Campbell, the media contact for men's basketball, saying he has not heard anything about Eric Gordon being injured.
From Coach Sampson via IUHoosiers.com To Our Great Fans: When I became the basketball coach at Indiana two years ago, it quickly became apparent to me that the amazing fan support our team receives is a big part of our home court advantage.
Hey folks, It's been a week since this blog got an update, and man do I feel guilty. Well, thanks to the good people down at IU Athletics, I have been aided.
Here is the link to Kelvin Sampson today in the Big Ten teleconference. Sampson on the loss to UConn: "We are coming off a really tough loss Saturday in a game we could have certainly played better across the board on both sides of the court." "We have a great opportunity Thursday against a really good Wisconsin team.
Following Saturday's loss to UConn, the Hoosiers fell to No. 11 from No. 7 in the AP poll and from to No.
In the closing minutes of IU's first home loss in nearly two years, the student body at Assembly Hall released their frustration on the officiating crew (not the ever-popular bulls*** chant, but the newly released F-You, ref chant). Needless to say, some folks were surprised with what was being said.
It's not often a team can lose a game and capture outright the top spot in the Big Ten on the same day, but that's what IU did on Saturday with a little help from in-state rival Purdue.
Tracy Porter finished fifth on the North team in tackles with four, all of them solo's, and had one punt return for 7 yards at the Under Armour Senior Bowl on Saturday. The stats were in a losing effort as the South beat the North 17-16 on the last play of the game. HIGHLIGHTS can be found here....On the last play of the game Porter was the closest man to make the game saving tackle.
We did have the power outage, which cut off the blog coverage with about three minutes left in the contest.
So Ernie Pyle Hall, home of the Indiana Daily Student and, thus, the server that hosts idsnews.com and the Basketblog, is scheduled to have a power outage for most of the day.
From the Arizona Republic Republican-American: BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- UConn sophomore guards Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins were suspended indefinitely after practice Friday and did not make the trip for today's game against No.
