Everything that Went Right Tonight

[YoungFree]

Akok showed up in a big way and proved he will be a force.

Josh played solid overall with a good offensive showing. He could have done more if he got the ball more.

Vital and Adams had defensive fire....it may not have directly turned into points but they kept Indiana on their heels.

We only lost by 3 to a Big Ten squad that is 9-1, finding it's way, but will get their act together and probably be in the tournament.

We had 22 turnovers but only lost by 3 showing that Hurley's getting into their heads and he is keeping them in games Ollie never would have.

The fans packed the Garden and they had a good game to watch.

Sid continues to show his hops, Rique continues to dish the ball, we continue to show up on a national stage, and yah....money was raised for Jimmy V.

Things are on the up-and-up. #BleedBlue

The only good I took from this game was what I already knew. Akok is a game-changer and Josh can score in the post.

So let's focus on that instead of all the negativity. It's so draining.

JC contained himself, would have been embarrassing.

I don’t want to be negative. If this was a game where we played well against a very good team but things just didn’t go our way I would say that and be more proud. But Indiana isn’t a very good team (in my opinion) and we reverted back to our old ways in a lot of aspects. It’s fair to be negative in a game like this, just as it was in a game like St. Joes.

The two are nowhere near comparable. Indiana isn't the Indiana of old but they are a middle of the road Big Ten team, not whatever lame conference the other dudes come from.

I’m comparing the fact that both we’re bad games, obviously they’re different. You can lose to an okay team in a close game and play pretty bad, as we saw tonight.

Valid. Won't argue that at all. It's disappointing to lose but I'm not distraught and trying to see the light in the darkness.

This loss and Xavier dont sit well with me at all, yeah we lost to teams with good records but both these games were very winnable.

UConn is right there but not quite. These losses are a bummer, hard to swallow but 2 or 3 years ago, heck, even last year they might have lost this by 20+.

We're on the rise but this was a big step back. I'm actually pretty shocked by how poorly we played. Oh well.
