Jay Bilas: Indiana owns the state again. Other state programs had a window, but it's now closed.

Thank you, and good night.

its not even 2 weeks into the season.

Are you willing to argue that Butler will still be better than IU over the next several years?

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2011-2012

from what I've seen so far, i really like the squad. this is easily the most multidimensional squad of the creen era. three years ago, i doubt the squad we had then would be undefeated and have the victory margin we have enjoyed thus far. i suspect the squad from tom's first year would struggle to beat any of the teams we have already played. this squad is proving they can decisively beat teams they should beat when i.u. was a strong program.

we are not a one trick pony. we have multiple ways to get points that we haven't had in many years. even in gordon's one and done year, we had only dj as the other guy we could realistically hope to get some good numbers from. now, we got guys like oladipo, cody, watford, hulls and several others who i believe can pick up the burden when/if needed.
overall, a very balanced attack offensively. i need more time to see them against stronger competition to gauge their defense though.
we should definitely get a better idea where they stand against a team like Kentucky and i don't expect a win however, i do think they will be competitive.

I don't know but they sure have a hell of a lot better coach than IU. To say IU is now back on top or whatever is just absurd. It's only 3 games into the season. They haven't even played a Top 70 program yet.

Neither has Butler, and they have already lost one game.

I think his point was referring to recruiting within the state more than anything else, and you can't argue with that.

I think Savannah State is supposed to be the worst team we've played so far, but I'm a little concerned about a possible let down in one of these next two games. That Butler game looms very large next Sunday and for a team that hasn't had a lot of "Landmark" games the past couple years I worry about them looking forward a bit.

I don't anticipate us having a letdown over the next couple of games.

No cable = no Big Ten Network for me. Wish I could buy a basketball package online like I could with NBALP. Would really like to see this year's squad in action...

Butler will never be Indiana.

The BIG10 network has a online thing you can buy to watch all of the games I believe, check it out and enjoy.

The only one I saw goes alongside an actual cable package. Maybe I'm missing it?

We have the second best field goal percentage in the country right now.
