Well, IU's loss at Illinois definitely got them ready to play this one - kind of like a dress rehearsal for playing at OSU considering how close Matta and Groce are in their coaching styles. I think it's come to the point where OSU shouldn't be worried about winning the B1G anymore and they just need to be focused on improving for the tourney.

Wow, Indiana by far is the best team I've watched all season. Every time we made big buckets to climb back in the game, they answered with an even bigger shot. They came in and whooped us on our floor. Oladipo is a magnificent player. I still think the Bucks are a great team, and we are getting better as the season goes on. I think we will peak towards the end of the season when it matters. This is a fun conference to watch and some very good teams in it.

This was one of Indiana's best performances this year.

If they play like that every game, no one beats them.

They don't play like that every game. That's the good news for OSU come tourney time. Their top-3 today got 20+ apiece. None of them average more than 16. Watford was a bad matchup for DT on defense, and he was able to take advantage of that. Whenever the other team has a good offensive center, that is another area where OSU has struggled on D this year. IU's offense is not a good matchup for the weak areas of the OSU D. Oladipo is the one that they should've been able to guard better, but he just outhustled them at times.

I agree. This is a very good team. A Sweet 16 team, but I don't really think it is going to be much more.

Now that I would agree with. Thompson is not bringing anything as of late except for a few throwdown's. At least Smith will take it to the rim periodically that plays better defense than Sam.

Indiana finally got smart and started to throw the ball into Zeller which is something that they haven't done much of all season. They can shoot the 3 ball well but when they are off they lose because they don't go into Zeller and they change that today.

Refereeing seemed a little tight today and one of those officials worked the Wisconsin/scum game yesterday.

Sometimes I think our guys are afraid of getting beat off the dribble on ball screens and leave the guy for a semi-uncontested three pointer:(
