Oh, Greenspan was booed but if you watch the video of when Dakich comes out you hear people yell for him and right before he makes the comment about his family you hear someone yell, "You're the man". People weren't cussing at Dakich.

At least with Stemler, the other team has to worry about leaving him open beyond the arc. With Taber, they can simply not guard him, and free up a help-side defender to stop EJ/Bassett penetration.

I do like Taber's game though. He always plays within himself and seems adept at making the most out of his limited offensive opportunities. Great role player.

Ha....Wow....alright, even if your ears didn't hear the yells at "Akich", as you seem to call him, then I hope those same ears heard all the "god damn" boos (as you would say) when Greenspan was mentioned, and if THIS didn't happen, then Helen Keller, I'll take back everything I said about it. Sorry.

THAT DID NOT HAPPEN!!!! I was sitting courtside at the god damn game and when akich said "Glad to see my family made it" He was laughing about the HUGE ovation he got!!! If someone did yell that you CERTAINLY could not hear it through out the hall, maybe just up in your section.

I agree with all above and you are dead on about Ellis he should always be near the block and stop dribbling so much.

No, you probably do, as I've burned my one clairvoyant moment a decade now.

BTN just posted the entirety of the Wisconsin senior night (16 minutes), but IU is still not up.

Looks like the "BTN won't post b/c of the chants" theory may be right?

Re: White and Gordon lead Hoosiers past Gophers, 69-55

RobertSchell — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:45:06 -0000

Completely agree with you guys. It's just like Scott Skiles has said before...."Basketball is like Religion. Many attend but few understand."

I'm a junior at IU and have yet to be NOT amazed when it comes to how stupid some students are with their chants, boos, then acting all mighty with "Well, If I were coach I would...", as they say something ludicrous

So, after last night's rants, the infamous "Fuck you refs" at UConn, etc., we should expect to see the IU Athletic Department form a designated "student section" in about.......well, never...

When I was home sick a few weeks ago, about the only thing on was Maryland Eastern Shore versus Vanderbilt (I think) in Women's Bowling. It was a hogging daydream. I couldn't believe that, in the middle of college basketball season, ESPN networks carry this stuff.

Gloating...

Hoosiers struggle early,. win by 14. Ellis gets unselfish on senior night, and makes the team go in the second half.

JamesHardy — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:14:02 -0000

so...let me get this straight...I can't call a kid who likes to fight a "thug"...BUT...we drop "F" bombs like they are as common as "the" "a" or "and"???? Wow...now that's....well, I'm not sure for a word yet, but I'll find one by the end of the day. Nevermind...I found it...F***ING RETARDED! I guess that's two words huh?

okay...while its fresh in my mind...see if you agree....
1. DEFENSE...what's that? How many OPEN 3's did Minn hit? Why did they hit them? Well, lets see...I'm 6'0" and I could shoot over the top of stemler and ellis and they have 7 and 8 inches on me. Why? Because when they close out to contest a 3 ball, they both put their hands in the stomach of the shooter instead of in the shooter's face. Speaking of Stemler, he might be the nicest kid on Earth, but if you are playing man to man defense, I'm pretty sure that implies that you must guard YOUR man, not someone else's. Each 3 that Coleman hit was because stemler was in the lane playing defense...when he was supposed to be guarding Coleman...when he closed out on Coleman, NOT ONCE did he get a hand UP...it was ALWAYS at his stomach.

2. OFFENSE...true story...my 5 y/o son plays "organized" basketball at the local YMCA. The offense he runs at Y-ball is more complicated than what I watched tonight. That is not a load of bullshit either! They Y-ball philosophy for 5 year olds is something like this...if you get the rebound take it to the other end of the court and shoot it as fast as you can before the other team gets back to play any kind of defense.

3. Bassett needs to learn how to DUNK the basketball...either that or how to go up strong and draw contact. Don't get me wrong, I love the kid, but I can only watch cupcake basketball for so long....(THIS WAS FOR YOU IRISHP!MP)

4. Did anyone notice the "mid-range" game that Gordon showed off tonight???? Yes...he shot a 15 footer from the elbow...the best part is....HE MADE IT!!!!

5. I am really gonna miss DJ!!!!!

6. Ellis needs to post up more! What a f***ing stud he is...when he's on the block! He's damn near unguardable (not sure if its a word, but who cares)

7. Take back anything I've ever said about DD being the guy for IU...I changed my mind.

8. I hope no one has their hopes up after this victory...we still can't play defense, our offense is...is...is....well see #2 above!

9. If we win two games in the B10 or NCAA's I'll get the IU symbol tatooed on my ass. That's 2 games in the big 10 and 2 games in the NCAA...for a total of 4 wins combined.

have great evening...and best wishes to DJ the rest of the Seniors! Thanks for the good times!

anyone that said "fuck you dakich" should have their tickets forever revoked from assembly hall. you may not like the guy, but he's inherited a pretty stressful situation. also, he turned in one of the most legendary performances in indiana history as a player so he at least deserves respect for that.

were those the same pieces of shit chanting "kel-vin samp-son"? i bet they were.

I won't lie, I have been pretty upset with how many of the fans have acted throughout the year. I'm a student and have season tickets (this was one of the two games I didn't get) and get disgusted on a game-by-game basis by the behavior of most of the student section.

Re: White and Gordon lead Hoosiers past Gophers, 69-55

RobertSchell — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:46:54 -0000

Yeah, when DD took the court...after people stopped cheering/whatnot, a few people booed, yelled "Fuck You Dakich" and "Get off the fuckin' court", etc., to which Dakich replied something to the notion of "Glad to see my family made it tonite"

and when Greenspan was mentioned, it was nothing but boos, to which Dakich said "Let's just try to keep this all on an upbeat note...."

Re: White and Gordon lead Hoosiers past Gophers, 69-55

Kevin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:43:05 -0000

Wait, did those chants actually happen?

I'm very disappointed if they did.

why doesnt gordon take off his cast and get used to it in practice, at penn st, and in the big ten tourney. he needs to get ready for the big dance. i heard the wrist is 100% now

Re: White and Gordon lead Hoosiers past Gophers, 69-55

RobertSchell — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:42:52 -0000

If the BTN were to post the speeches, I'm guessing there would have to be a bit of editing required.

Not just because of Adam's speech that lasted _____ minutes, but the "Fuck You Dakich!" 's, boos, and other chants when DD took the court, and the same went for when Greenspan was mentioned.

PS - How about Cheaney and the Dunkin' Dutchman being in attendance?

Man the Big 10 net needs to post the senior speeches, I mean I just watched Southern U win the SWAC bowling tournament on ESPN classic. FYI, if you have ever wondered what happens to fat girls from Wisconsin, they go to traditional black colleges on bowling scholarships

theKID — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 23:26:29 -0000

yea i no i love taber...hes exactly what we need at the 4...our best lineup is
PG-BASSETT
SG-GORDON
SF-ELLIS(when hustling)
PF-TABER
C-DJ

And i think Jordon Crawford should be in a 3 man rotation with ellis and taber.

he saw some major action in the 2nd half when stemler went out with 3 fouls (BIG SHOCK THERE!)...but he only saw 1:30 in the first half....what a shame! HE'S A STUD!
