Good Home Win

IU won a big game on their schedule last night beating Illinois 62-60. While it was a good win, there are a few things that I didn't like:

1. IU started the game having 3 points 6 minutes into the game. If that happens on the road, they might as well pack it up.
2. The Hoosiers let a 15 point lead with 8 minutes left dwindle to 1 in the last minute. Great teams go for the kill.
3. Marco's behavior was inexcusable. I have heard he was elbowed and pushed right before he put his elbow to the throat of an Illini. Either way, just play the game.

A couple things I did like:

1. Roderick Wilmont. He jump-started the team last night and picked up Vaden's slack. He overall made things happen. I didn't know he could dunk! All I have seen from him were layups.
2. IU fixed what happened at MSU and rebounded the ball. We had an +8 advantage 39-31. That's what wins in the Big 10. Its a rough league and you can't give the other team more chances to score than you.
3. IU almost made as many FTs as Illinois attempted. I remember back to a time when this was a common occurence and it needs to happen more.

Next is PU at home. Should be a blowout but it probably won't. I hope it is!
