Losing to Minnesota at home....really? I guess we weren't prepared to get their best shot, which happens every night when you have a high ranking. We didn't bring the energy until it was too late. Hopefully we didn't overlook look them getting ready to go to OSU Sunday......they'll get our best shot now!
I wouldn't sweat it. Its conference play and that happens often. Teams and coaches in conference know each other so well it makes it tougher.

Minnesota played a HUGE game. They shot the lights out, out rebounded us and simply POUNDED on Zeller.
The game was good, but it showed some weaknesses that we must address.

True....although Zeller is what kept us from blown out of our gym last night. Bad nights happen, at least we didn't quit in the second half!
Conference play always brings out the best in subpar teams....I don't think it's anything for IU to be worried about....If memory serves me correctly UK was only 10-6 in conference last year and made a run to the final 4...UConn didn't fair well in the Big East last year and went on to become national champions
I really do think they had their heads in the sand on this game. Minny was on a 4 or 5 games losing streak and I think the Hoosier's were looking past them as being a patsy on the schedule....Well them patsy's will sneak up on you and nip you in the budd, so you got to take every game as if it's for the National Championship......
Well I guess they weren't ready to play in such a hostile enviroment at Ohio State either...But on a good side they did play a lot better in the second half, after only scoring 14 points in the 1st. half.
They'll rebound and get back on track, heck only 3 loss's so far this season says a lot about this team.....
They should go far in the NCAA Tournament this year, but next year will be a better year with all the Top recruits coming in....
GO HOOSIER'S..............................
We sure took one on the chin yesterday. Its not like we were playing just anyone though....OSU is a legit National Title contender. They found our weaknesses and exploited them.....some teams can do that, others cannot. It didn't help us that we decided to help off of a guy averaging 5.2 points per game, but poured in 28 against us. We'll snap out of it sooner than later IMO.
