so how do I watch this on tv.

i check out the big 10 network, both channels are indiana vs jerry rice st.

i thought the point of having two channels of the big10 network was to show multiple games.

Russell is really good at basketball.

Any game updates would be appreciated.

Bucks up 21-8 after 7 minutes.

 

[buckeyeintn]

Sam is 4-4 for 10 points,

 

[Bill Lucas]

Four freshmen and Lee in the game at 12 minute timeout. 23-10. All zone on defense and a 2-2-1 full court trap that isn't all that aggressive...yet.

 

[Tlangs]

Has Amir done anything. Just hoping he can be aggressive on the boards and defensively block some shots.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Amir is still Amir. Lee appears to be the backup big.

1-2 from the field, 1 rebound. I'm getting my info from ESPiN gamecast.

 

[Bill Lucas]

We appear to have some shooters this year.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Not impressed by the 2-3 zone. Late rotations and dribble penetration. I'm going to attribute that to the fact that the chemistry isn't there with the mix of players on the court. Cam with a 4 point play and Russell with a 3. 29-11.
