might be better than us, tonight I give up on the season, neutral court they kick our ass,

You're drunk.

We already played them on a neutral court, and wore them out. If we made a reasonable number of free throws today we'd have won by double digits--again.

PSU has about 2 good defenders--3 less than you need to play good defense. They are objectively the worst team in the big ten. Ace Baldwin should sue his teammates for negligence.

Plus Reneau was out tonight as well.

sleep it off Kurt. A western omelette and bloody mary will help.

We already played them on neutral court, although in front of a PSU home crowd. And we still won.

With MR out and a post-Purdue trap game, and with Baldwin shooting like Steph even though Baldwin is a shitty career 3pt shooter.... take the win.

Yep your right, just didn't seem sharp tonight, was hoping they would build on the 2nd half of the Purdue game, a win is a win, need 2 more

their record has them at the bottom so your probably right, sill a pretty talented team that does have some good wins.

They've underachieved. (PSU) We lose if we don't go off on 3s. Lots of bad passing and poor D, but hitting 3s overcame it.

the win clinches a spot in the BIG tournament, small steps

Unless my math is wrong, only the top 7 teams in the current standings have clinched a spot in the BTT at this point. One more win does it for IU. At this point, IU could finish anywhere between 7th and 16th.

in Kurts standings they are in, already have 2 teams with 13 losses, a few teams with 10 or more, some will be playing each other, were in

next game is key...UWash sucks and we have to win that game, period.
If so, we can probably withstand a loss vs Oregon. Then it will come down to that last home game vs OSU, with both teams on the bubble. Would be pretty intense environment.

Loss to UWash same impact as a loss last night to PSU...will really kill our chances. Not sure what quad level game this road UWash game will be. But we have no losses outside of Q1 and need to keep that record clean to have any shot.

IU could lose out and finish 8-12. As you point out, PSU and UW are already at 13 losses.

There are 4 teams at 6-11: Iowa, NW, USC, and Minn.
1) Iowa and NW play each other, so at least one of them will finish no worse than 8-12. Both teams hold the tiebreaker over IU.
2) USC and Minn. each can finish 9-11.

There 2 teams at 7-10, RU and Neb., and 1 team at 8-10, OSU.
1) RU and OSU can finish 9-11.
2) Neb. can finish 8-12, but holds tiebreaker over IU.

Bottom line, if IU loses out, we are rooting for USC or Minn. to lose 1 game, or one of Iowa, NW, or RU to lose 2 games, or Neb. to lose out.

By the way, IU can finish as high as 7th: http://bball.notnothing.net/bracket.php?conf=big10m
