Another victory for IU, on the road this time, against Penn State. I daresay we're headed for middle echelon.

Saw one of your recruits last weekend, Will Sheehey. He's a good player who will probably be a nice role player for you guys as a freshman. 6-6 PF/SF type, who is always around the ball, and way more athletic than you'd think. He could really jump...

After watching my Cats get thumped by MSU and Ohio State, it's hard to see them as a tournament team. They have a terrible time with big athletic teams and don't have the inside presence when their shooting goes cold. Hopefully they can have a nice NIT experience and reload next year when Coble returns and Shurna, Juice, Crawford, Murcovic and Rowley are a year older.

Coaches with the best winning percentage in Big Ten games with at least 5 years in the league.

1. Bo Ryan
2. Bob Knight
3. Tom Izzo
I saw nothing last night at Mackey Arena to challenge these assessments...Bo has his guys playing HARD.

That's an extremely satisfying win for Purdue last night, against a very well-coached team.

Spartans look to be the class of the B10, followed by Purdue, Wisconsin and OSU lumped together, and then everybody else.

Wow-- does Purdue bring out the best in IU, or what?!?

hoosiers were unconscious last night at home, and I'm very relieved Purdue was able to get out of that snake pit with the W....

Yeah, and I missed it too.

It's somewhat frustrating. Even last year, they had a few very close losses. They just haven't been able to close things out or make the final push.

It helps to make free throws.

Still a long way to go, but it looks like this might be a five team race now, especially if MSU loses tonight to Purdue.

Which they did!

Dominating performance by the Old Gold and Black, in one of CBB's most intimidating venues...
