Apparently you need a student ID to buy them, but not to get in? The email was worded in a confusing way. Really, though--$5 just sounds desperate. Anyone want a cheap ticket?</p><p>In other news, the women's team is really having a great year--probably the perfect time for them to do it: Get more attention, get attendance up, hope that those fans hold over once Coach Crean gets IU back on the winning side and fills AH up again.</p>SalladFri, 16 Jan 2009 00:29:48 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5134608<p>That was crazy. I don't think we will ever see that again from Mr. Roth.</p>AtwaterThu, 15 Jan 2009 00:39:06 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5124237<p>Yea i saw that, that was pretty tight, specially for a white boy who just shoot threes....he got some long arms on him </p>UnknownWed, 14 Jan 2009 20:22:31 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5124196<p>are you serious "lack of experience" everyone in whole damn world knows that IU has no experience </p>UnknownWed, 14 Jan 2009 20:20:12 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5124082<p>Another positive thing from last night was Roth's rejection of the break away bucket. It was quite a nice treat for the loyal IU fans who were still watching late in the second half. Even the buckeye fans thought it was nasty.</p>floorburnWed, 14 Jan 2009 20:12:07 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5121888<p>I liked the old St. John's arena much better than the new Ohio State arena. I liked that big state of Ohio in the middle of the floor. I caught the IU/OSU game from 1998 on ESPN Classic last night and those of you touting AJ Guyton as one of the greatest IU players are right on. That guy was amazing.</p><p>VJIII is getting better, the team looks much better with him on the floor. I don't think they are getting the offensive concept down real well right now, or TC is not giving them a lot to work with. OSU was en fuego and they hit about everything they put up, so what are you gonna do?</p>BFowlerWed, 14 Jan 2009 18:00:12 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5120603<p>I think a big thing killing this team is lack of experience...but in practices.</p><p>These freshman probably are working harder than ever before in practice, but not likely hard enough. They don't have a commanding senior to harass them and FORCE them to work even harder.</p><p>Basset had Calloway and Wilmont. Crawford had Basset/Ellis to bust him.</p><p>These young guys have no-one. I'm not saying they're NOT working hard in practice, but they probably aren't working hard enough for reasons out of their control. </p>southsidehitmenWed, 14 Jan 2009 16:52:58 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5118484<p>Musberger is awful but no one is worse than Jimmy Dykes. That guy is terrible and an idiot who offers nothing. <br>Lavin is fine. Erin Andrews is a delight.</p><p>VJ3 had some silly turnovers but he is getting better. I think Pritchard is going to be a solid role player for us. He's the Cleveland Plain Dealer Ohio Player of the Year! (just had to write that)</p><p>Crean stays inordinately positive, I saw a shot of the IU huddle as they cut away for commercial and he was banging his legs and shook his head. I don't know why, but I liked that. Maybe he was getting his game face adjusted...</p>CutterInChicagoWed, 14 Jan 2009 15:23:02 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5118058<p>In the sake of positivity and all things wrapped in sunshine and smiles, I would like to mention how happy/relieved/astonished I was that Malik Story was able to finish his break-away layup against Ohio State. To see him rumble down the court with the grace of a rhino on broken rollerskates and make (!!!) an uncontested first grade layup without dribbling the ball of his foot was a very welcome sight. Keep up the highlight reel!</p>J-LAWed, 14 Jan 2009 14:57:56 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5115878<p>agree the daniel moore deal sould be done. he wont play next year. A few of these guys can play next year so lets play them.</p>steveWed, 14 Jan 2009 12:58:27 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5115535<p>I think Nick Williams has had a couple of nice games in a row too, he is showing the capability to be a pretty good scorer. I wish he would take some of the shots that Dumes takes</p>RickyWed, 14 Jan 2009 12:38:58 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5115337<p>I, for one, like the Lavin.</p><p>Musberger, on the other hand...</p>Matt_JWed, 14 Jan 2009 12:31:18 -0000https://www.insidethehall.com/2009/01/14/the-morning-after-staying-positive/#comment-5115171<p>VJ is coming along nicely, has the same slow drive to the basket as Paul Pierce, though he obviously isn't close to that. I think he can actually become a valuable player if he practices his dribble and gains about 30 lbs. He can be a hybrid 1-2 because I don't think he is really either. I think we can put to rest the Daniel Moore experiment. If VJ, Williams, Pritchard (who really needs to work on his agility this summer), and Dumes keep progressing I think they can play valuable minutes next year</p>SethWed, 14 Jan 2009 12:20:04 -0000
