Congrats from a Hoosier

[Foosier]

You guys were the better team last night and had I not been an IU fan it would have been beautiful basketball to watch. I don't know if there is a team in the country that could beat you if Paige shoots like that. I'm anticipating a UNC versus KANSAS championship game. I drew UNC in my blind pool at work so I'll be cheering for you guys the rest of the way. Don't disappoint.

As for the game, I really wish we had been at full strength. Rob Johnson would have made a difference but probably not a game winning difference. For the first time in months I think we missed Blackmon, too. He would have thrived in a game where we weren't playing any defense and he could shoot without consequence. That's not to take anything from UNC, they were great.

Go win the Big 10 again. Yogi will be hard to replace, but y'all got something to build on.

And Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for the words Foosier. And like others have said, continue to own the Big 10. Yes, Yogi will be hard to replace, but with a core of Blackmon, Williams, and Bryant, Indiana is gonna be a bear next season and moving forward!

Easy to see why Roy wanted Williams. I also got Johnson and Blackmon who we tried to get. I will be good next year. One of the things that Roy can do is evaluate talent. Look at our players and who he has targeted and missed on. Not all of them were 5 stars but quite few played great in this tournament. Hope Roy sticks around for as long as he wants.

Everyone should try to minimize things that bother him so he can focus on his team which us what he enjoys. He could go on another big run for the next few years if we get the NCAAB stuff behind us.

Thanks. IU has a lot of knowlegable fans (as one would expect), and while there are always some douche-nozzles, y'all's percentage is considerably lower than say, UK (which again, I'm sure you're aware ).

IU finished the season strong (and I thgought UK would have been an easier out for us) but often basketball games are matters of styles and it's really hard to prevail in a transition battle with UNC if we're shooting decently.

Congrats on a good season and making the Sweet 16.
