I'm about as old as old-generation gets when it comes to Indiana basketball. A fan for 50 years, a double-alum, a consistent giver to the Varsity Club and a supporter of all things IU (even Dakich back in the day when he represented the university positively.)
And this "old-generation" fan thinks Dakich's take is absurd and the kids are totally right. No one is happy about losing by 30, but it is foolish and absurd to ignore the realities of fatigue and the effects of cross-country travel.
The last two weeks of the season were very positive for Indiana basketball and Indiana University. The last game was a negative...as it is for every team but one in college basketball.
