- nice report Mark.

- I'd say Ohio State played better than expected for the first 25 minutes. I
- was really worried about the start, but they came out confident. As is
- usually the case when I watch OSU play at Indiana, I was convinced by half
- time that the IU Athletic Boosters had made their annual contribution to the
- referees. Damn it's frustrating to watch call after call go in IU's favor.
- They're probably the right calls most of the time, but through my admitedly
- biased view it's tough to take.

- Once Lawrence got the two fouls early, his day was done. He was passive the
- rest of the game. Note, he finished the game with those same two fouls. We
- need him to be much more agressive if we're to have any chance to make the
- NCAAs. On the positive side, kudos to Lawrence for maintaining his
- composure while being taunted by the fans. I didn't see trash talking even
- once.

- He's clearly spent too much time under the tutelage of one Bill Robinson :-)

-
- Yup, I think this was Etzler's last start. Simpson is just too talented to
- keep off the floor. The around-the-back move though has to go. And while
- we're on that play, it didn't look like travelling to me. It would have
- been fine from my perspective if they had called a turnover for stupidity,
- but travelling?

-
- Amen. Hell month is almost over.
-
-
- By the way, I loved The General's move where he pushed the assistant aside
- to have a few words with Greg Graham(?) and his reaction to Calbert
- Cheaney's three point attempt that was clearly audible over the crowd noise.
- Good to see Bobby hasn't lost any of the spice that makes him fun to root
- against.
