Of All the Things I Didn’t Write About the Minnesota Game, Not Mentioning 42 is the Most Impressive as it Would Have Been so EasyFebruary 28th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorIt’s a good thing I was really busy today. Had I not had one meeting after another and a series of other things that needed to be accomplished in between those meetings I might have found myself writing the obvious column today, which would have been the standard Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy “Don’t Panic.” [...] Read more...Why You Should Feel Really Good Today (and a few things that don’t matter at all)February 20th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorIt’s easy to get lost down a million rabbit holes after a game like the one we just watched at Michigan State. You can find yourself in a discussion about exactly why we all hate Ted Valentine so much (answer: He doesn’t hate IU. He just loves drawing attention to himself and this pathological need [...] Read more...Knowing Who the Best Team is Really Isn’t That HardFebruary 18th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorWhat you are about to read should in no way be taken as an assertion that Indiana will definitely beat Michigan State on Tuesday, because you need to prepare yourself for the very real possibility that we might lose in East Lansing. Having said that, there is no way you can look at this college [...] Read more...The Best Basketball We’ve Played All Year.February 12th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorThere have been no fewer than five times this season when I’ve thought, this is the best I’ve seen us play this year. I thought the second half against North Carolina was just about the best basketball I’d seen a team play in a long time. I thought the first half against Minnesota was even [...] Read more...I… Hate to Hate you, babyFebruary 9th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorA snow storm blocking my satellite conspired to keep me from seeing anything more than the ESPN highlight package of the Illinois game and an insanely busy day at work prevented me from spending the entire day pissed off about losing a game I wasn’t even able to watch. But the work day is done and [...] Read more...Big Picture Small PictureFebruary 5th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorYou know me. I like to give you the context. Anyone can report to you what happened. I like to tell you what it means. And Saturday’s win means a lot of things. But sometimes it’s also work worth looking at some of the finer details of the game so we can understand some of [...] Read more...Here’s Nearly 1000 Words on a Game That Only Kind of MattersJanuary 31st, 2013 by Jeff TaylorI’ve spent quite a bit of time recently trying not to look ahead to the Michigan game on Saturday. From a basketball standpoint I saw this game on the horizon and knew there was a very real chance we could be playing for something real, but we had to win a lot of games to [...] Read more...The New NormalJanuary 21st, 2013 by Jeff TaylorThere’s a new normal for IU basketball in Big Ten play. During the non-conference season our games were marked by slow starts, big leads, extensions of those leads, wins. But conference play has been a horse of a different color. Our starts have been much stronger, our leads not as big, and no extensions. We’re [...] Read more...Dead (or extremely sleepy) (or something else entirely)January 18th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorI spent the last year committed to a strong belief that we were going to be an incredibly deep team this year. Like many, I entered the season wondering how Crean would find minutes for all of the depth this team was going to have. I thought that would be something we’d have to deal [...] Read more...Treme, Kanye, and Our Second Half Against MinnesotaJanuary 15th, 2013 by Jeff TaylorI promised you more about the Minnesota game and here it is. I was there, in the stands, grinning like Ruprecht the Monkey Boy at the end of the first half. And then the Firecrackers came out and jumped a lot of rope in crazy impressive ways (btw, you should go to their website, find [...] Read more...
