Big time win for IU tonight. The team rallied to overcome the 4 point deficit with under 2 minutes to go in a hostile environment and that's what championship caliber teams do. During the timeout with about 1:25 to go they showed a shot of the IU huddle and Watford was trying to rally the team and then he goes out and hits the huge runner across the lane with the and 1 to cut the deficit to one. That play was huge. When Watford is confident and aggressive IU is really tough to beat and that play showed the growth of Watford over the last 4 years.

I also feel the shot to Zeller groin by Nix was intentional but, whatever game is over and it's water under the bridge now. I'm just glad IU was able to come out on top.

Oladipo just owns us, god almighty. Better team won tonight. Thought we played like garbage, but I'll just credit that to IU and the National POTY.

I hope to see one or two more match-ups between these two. A couple of the best games this season so far.

Miami and Virgina are tied at 46 with 51 seconds left.

Re: 2/18-2/24 Game Discussion Thread

Virgina gets a hell of a bounce to tie it back up at 50 with 14 seconds left. Miami nearly messed around and lost to Clemson Sunday night.

Maryland follows up that win over Duke by losing to Boston College. That's not going to help their bubble chances.

Florida won't win anything this year if they don't get their head out of the butts on the road. 33 three pointers tonight...33. They average just over 20 yet tonight for some reason were just launching them even when all they needed was a 2. I wish Billy would reign them in when they get so 3-happy.

Derrick Nix is the cheapest D bag, trash, ect. I've ever seen.

Unreal that bag tag went uncalled on Zeller.

O well IU's biggest win of the year so far. On to Minnesota!!

You did see that Zeller had done it to him just a few minutes earlier, right? ESPN showed that they had both done it...

Florida really fell in love with the 3 ball. I don't usually like to use road conference losses against a team but it definitely is making me re-evaluate Florida more in terms of when the bracket comes out.

What Zeller did didn't look to be intentional and just a of part of basketball. I don't think when Zeller was making his move to the basket hitting Nix in the midsection was on his to do list. I could be wrong but, it certainly didn't look like it was intentional to me.

What Nix did looked clearly to me to be an intentional retaliation to getting accidentally hit by Zeller.

Eh, I still love this Florida team, and think we could beat just about everyone in the country.

SportsForever, does the loss make you worry that this team can't close? I think this team may need a close win (I believe our closest win was a 13 pointer over UCF, which is insane) just so they believe that they can do it.

What bothers me is how different they look on the road than at home. Look at Arizona, KState, Arky, and now tonight. They were the better team in each game and in 3 of them looked like it, but they just fell apart at the end again and in each case they got caught up with shooting the 3. We were down by 1 for a good portion of the last minute or so and not once did we try and work it in for a good look...just don't see this team going far since they won't be playing in the O'Dome during the tourney.

That wasn't intentional like Nix act was. I'm sorry but there is no place for that trash in the game.

Embarrassing for Nix. And calling out Oladipo and Zeller saying they're overrated sure helped him tonight. Lmao.

Thanks for the ammo!!

Seriously. 8 points and 5 rebounds. Do your talking on the floor.

Re: 2/18-2/24 Game Discussion Thread

You IU fans need to shut your mouths about this garbage. Even if intentional (which i doubt and the refs agreed), oscar-worthy acting job by Seller. This from a light tap after Seller went full-boar elbow into Nix.

Wahhhhh! Come On Ref! He hit me ma Nards! Kick him out the game cuz he just scored three straight buckets!
