IU 61 WI 85
Well, there you have it. 1-17 in the Big Ten. One more game on Thursday and that will likely close out the worst season in Indiana basketball history.
But there is a lot to look forward to and this season has served it's purpose -- wipe the slate clean, start completely over, and do things the right way. If that is your measuring stick for this season, then this season was a success.
As for this game, the common themes of turnovers and missed FTs caused the Hoosiers to fall behind and stay behind. Then, in the second half, Wisconsin went to the FT line on nearly every possession.
Bright spots were career-highs by both Verdell Jones with 23 points and Nick Williams with 19 points. It was also good to see Roth make some cuts and hit a couple jumpers inside the arc.
I guess there's not much more to say that about this one, so I'll leave it at that.

i have to say i watched almost all of every game this year, but i only watched this one as i did other things. kind of boring. it was good to see williams and jones show promise. they'll make the PT issue interesting next year. roth must not be high on CTC's list if fink is starting ahead of him! pritch has me concerned. i'm still going with the theory of how much better he'll be with some talent and depth around him, but i'm starting to wonder if these new guys may take more PT away from him than i thought? did we ever see a lineup of fink, moore, taber, roth, and williams last night?
