Indiana’s last game was against Northwestern…where they almost lost to the team that hasn’t won a Big Ten game all year, and Ohio State hasn’t beaten any of the 4 teams ahead of them in the Big Ten standings. But of course, this whole game was about the Kelvin Sampson scandal and how it’s the interim coaches first game in Bloomington. Is Erin Andrews bored with the Kelvin Sampson thing yet? Pretty sure Brent sounds bored with it. Brent didn’t sound too excited about the game either. He must not have had enough to drink this afternoon. Steve was slacking on making up stupid catchphrases. Brent never said “one and done.” Steve did say that Indiana’s interim coach was being dissected like a frog in biology class. This game ended up being a quality announced game, but I am completely sick of hearing about Dan Dakich now.
Brent was observing Thad Matta very closely…watching him run up and down the court this afternoon…being very concerned with his foot. During the game, Brent even asked Erin how well Matta was moving around. Erin said Matta could beat Steve in a sprint. It seems that every game Brent is obsessed with watching one of the coaches.
Ohio State only plays zone defense. Not just for this game, but for the entire year. Steve was giving a lot of reasons why Thad Matta decided not to play man to man. How can you be a D1 college basketball player and not be good enough to play man to man defense????? How can you be a D1 college basketball coach and not have enough practice time and be a good enough coach to teach your team how to play man to man defense???? Dear Ohio State Athletic Director, this is a bad sign. By the way, Indiana didn’t have too much trouble with Ohio State’s zone tonight.
“This is where Dakich needs to show a little Bobby Knight” - Brent
Don’t forget to watch Michigan State at Wisconsin on Thursday night, 9pm, ESPN2. Lavinburger will be in Madison, Brent’s favorite city to get drunk in. I will be Tivoing the game so I won’t miss any of the stupid comments.
Final score: #12 Indiana 72, Ohio State 69
Indiana keeps their hopes alive of being the conference champ
