Coach Izzo didn’t seem pleased with his teams focus, he alluded to some distractions and refused to elaborate when pressed on the question. Not sure if he was referring to the team or certain individuals. Any insight on this???

I wondered the same thing. Would love to know what that’s about. I heard reports of Nix being so focused and amped up for this game that he broke a rim during warmups. But that might have been an unfortunate side effect of chronic oral enpoditis. Damn shame. He seemed like such a fine individual, too….

I really liked what Cody said at the end about the POY honor. The guy was trying to bait him a little and Cody said that Victor can have it. I don’t think Cody cares about that type of stuff. He just wants to see the team win.

He might be referring to the intentional nut smash to Z. As a youth baseball coach, show boatin, trash talkin or anything like that is not tolerated. Example would be Sheehey with his flexin of his skinny biceps at Purdue, looking over at the bench after a made 3 flashing the 3 pt gang sign, then the trash talkin that resulted in a T. I notice the past 2 games Sheehey shows no more signs of that, in fact the next game he went 9-9.

face it tom iu outplayed you and if played on a neutral site you would lose by 15 points.

When Nix said he would “handle” the Hoosiers, I don’t think Cody realized what he meant.

…trash talk was in your imagination…as usual…

I understand that is THE very sign that the Crips use after they knock home a three (but only in the Big Ten).

When will we get street gangs out of nationality televised basketball games?
