    I couldn't do the same thing and recap another historic home loss solo. So I invited my old college roommates (we ran the block 2011-2015) to come on and share some thoughts on just what is going with the Hoosiers, where does Indiana go, and just to ultimately console one another on what has become a season to quickly forget. Then it's onto the Indiana news, including a bit more bummer there as Indiana loses out on Derick Queen. Then it's to the conference news, including Olivier Nkamhoua electing for season ending surgery. Then it's a Hoosier History Hit.

    Good Lord, we have some work to do... Let's get into this one as the Hoosiers make victory over the Army Black Knights about as painful as it could have been. Indiana came out slow, something needs addressed there. Payton Sparks, maybe a lil' too amped for this one. In a turn of events free throws saved the Hoosiers here. Fastbreak was downright painful in this one. Indiana's turnovers fueled by intention-less passing. Defense acting like the opposition just created the pick. Kel'el Ware's motor seems to be one of the most reliable parts of this team right now. Most teams you give 18 more shots to aren't going to beat you. I'm still convinced Mackenzie will need to be on the floor for this team to hit its potential. Showalter Fish of the Game.
