Without trying to sound like Mr. Obvious, this is still very much a work in progress.
I must admit when I arrived in Puerto Rico last Wednesday, I believed I would see a group of freshmen ready to take the next step. They had done well against the first two cupcakes and I thought that when ...

IU played good defense and Cam Long banked in a 3-pointer at the shot clock expired with 5.4 seconds to play
Mason then fouled Rivers on the inbounds with 2.9 seconds remaining, and Rivers made the first and missed the second on purpose.
There was a scramble for the rebound, Mason got it ...

and
Watford just made two free throws with 41.5 seconds to tie.
It's George Mason's ball with 30.4 second remaining and 24 on the ...

Back and forth they go.
Since I talked about free throws being important, IU has made 3 of 4. Rivers hit two and Creek hit one of two.
Both teams are in the double bonus.
It continues to be very, very physical.

The Hoosiers continue to battle.
In the last few minutes, Watford hit a 15 footer, and after Jones missed a tough driving shot to the basket, Bobby Capobianco got the rebound and put it back in. He was fouled on the play and made the free throw. Watford also hit a tough, leaning 6-footer ...

IU went back up 43-41 on a 3-pointer by Verdell Jones from the right wing.
Mason then led 47-43 before Jordan Hulls hit a 3-pointer from the top
The interesting thing is the ...

Because of technical difficulties (a slow internet connection) I'm just posting my first blog installment.
With 5:31 to play, IU is up 25-22
Indiana is playing much better today, night and day in some respects from Friday.
The Hoosiers have energy. They're playing zone almost ...

I watched the Bucket game Saturday afternoon with a large throng of Indiana fans that took over one of the two restuarants on the island that had the Big Ten Network. The Pepin Cafe wound up being packed with IU fans to watch the Bucket. The IU Alumni Association had a bus that took fans ...

There's actually quite a bit to blog about as sun rises on another day in Puerto Rico. We can look back on Indiana's latest basketball mis-step, Friday night's 71-67 loss to Boston University. But since the Hoosiers don't play hoops again until Sunday morning, I thought I would do a side step ...

The way I understand it there's no television for tonight's IU-Boston University game at the Puerto Rico Tipoff.
So you can listen to it on the radio if you'd like except Fish is back in Bloomington to do the Bucket game tomorrow. I'm not taking anything away from Jeremy Gray and Todd Leary ...

In a recent football blog, I compared IU's performance this season against Wisconsin to last year when the Hoosiers got throttled by the visiting Badgers. A year ago, Wiscosnin football put up 55 points on Indiana in Memorial Stadium in a rout. This time, the final was 31-28. I was trying to ...

The biggest deficit has been 16 on two occasions.
As play resumes, Derek Elston will be shooting two free throws.

There's a couple of notes that need to be made here:
Christian Watford is struggling mightily in this one. He is 1-for-8 from the field and has 3 points.
Jeremiah Rivers has played a solid game but he picked up his fourth foul with 17:22 remaining and Jordan Hulls has been running the ...

Ole Miss Rebels
Indiana Hoosiers
IU came out hot and cut the lead to five twice, most recently at 47-42. All three of IU's baskets in this half have come off transition, one by Creek and two by Jones.
It's now 51-42. IU has been a lot better in the open floor in this game than in the half court.

Indiana closed the half on a 9-2 run to get the lead back under double figures.
Ole Miss led by 16 at 43-27 with 3:10 to play in the half.
Jones had a driving left-handed layup, Creek his a 3-pointer from the right wing, Jones had another driving layup and then both Jones and Jordan Hulls ...

Ole Miss Rebels
Indiana Hoosiers
This one has turned into a track meet and Ole Miss is getting layup after layup. IU is only getting one shot on the other end, and can't hit its free throws. It's not a good combination at this point.
Lineup on the floor right now is Watford, Rivers, Creek, Jones and Elston. In other words, ...

IU had an 11-0 run early. Mississippi came back and had a 14-0 run to take a 25-20 lead. That run has now been extended to 19-2, and the Rebels lead 30-22.
IU has 11 turnovers. Rivers has three, and Creek and Hulls have two each.
