    Most underrated coach in the country. No one does more with less. Never gets huge recruits but always has a competitive team competing for the conference crown.

    My Hawkeyes host Wisconsin tomorrow night and I know that Wisconsin is really hot right now but I have a feeling the Hawkeyes will win this one. Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of former Hawkeye player Chris Street's death. He was killed in a car accident on the way to class the night before a game in 1993. (Look it up if you're not familiar with the story, it's very sad) I have a feeling Carver Hawkeye Arena will be rocking and the players will be very inspired tomorrow night!

    Typical let down game. Came back from down big but couldn't pull it off. Upset me down late that they thought trading 2s for 2s was gonna work. A minute and change left down 7 you need to shoot 3s, pretty upset they were constantly driving to the hoop in that situation. It's simple math, trading 2s for 2 free throws does nothing. Tough week ahead, need to at worst split the Mich St and Minn games at home this week.

    Off to Madison for the UW Minn game. Must win for my Badgers. Need to go to 5-2 in conf and not fall to 4-3 with a trip to columbus and champaign in the week ahead. Atmosphere should be awesome as always.

    Was ugly for awhile. Very slow start for the Badgers (this is becoming a pattern that is not good at all). Refs let them play in the first half then were super quick with the whistle in the 2nd half. Entertaining finish. I'll take the much needed W!

    WTF was Zeller doing? Guard the basket and you go to OT. After a play like that, I find it harder to yell at my kid's team when they let that happen.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Watching Wisconsin play Michigan is kinda like watching Scott Stapp fight Fred Durst for me. You want them both to lose and wind up severely injured and embarrassed but I have to admit, that was one helluva game.

    Hopefully IU doesn't have another forget to play defense game against Nebraska tonight. They got lucky that they lost but kept the number 1 ranking.

    Go Hoosiers!

    They could wear pirate patches and play Alzheimer defense and still beat Nebraska.

    :D:D

    True!

    I forgot they are in Bloomington tonight. If they were on the road, I'd be nervous. IU has struggled on the road under Coach Crean.
