PrintI'm excited as this is the first open thread over here at SB Nation. I'm going to use my wife's phone to see if I can comment along during the game since she has the mobile web feature, but I don't know how well it will work. I know eventually I will be able to use a liveblogging feature in this place, but Let's try the new open thread for now. Some of the other SB Nation blogs in the Big Ten are getting 300+ comments during an open thread, so surely we can top that.
The Beauty of this is that you can play off of other comments much easier than when we were over at blogger. As I play with some of the new features more things should look even better. For now, it's time to Boiler up and kick the crap out of the Hoosiers
And yes, I am aware of the Robbie Hummel situation. Right now I am just kind of numb. I am hoping that he we can win a few games without him, then have him come back for the Michigan State game. We can definitely win today without him. If we can grab the Michigan game this week without him too that would help immensely because I like our chances at home against Ohio State and Northwestern.
And one final note about that Northwestern game. I still have my tickets available in Section 112, row 13 for that game. I am likely going to have to work that night since it is the opening night of sectional play, so if anyone is interested in the tickets please drop me an e-mail.

Right now I like our chances against IU
For the next couple years. But I think they will get back to where they were sooner rather than later. Tom Crean turned Marquette into a good basketball school. Despite hating IU, I actually like what he did with the program this year. Ridding the team of members with unnecessary baggage.
The only way I see us losing this game is a low FG. Majority of our losses this year are due to low FG, sometimes below 30%.
I just want to see some good, hard-played, big ten basketball today.
Dwyane Wade helped
When you have one of hte greatest players currently in the game that helps.

E'Twaun Moore!!!
The only thing that will stop him from scoring 40 is if he is unintersted

Sound good so far
I missed E’Twaun’s two treys because of a phone call. It’s great to see him showing up early!

Smoooge and JJ
Good to see him scoring at will and JJ getting rebounds after last game

Bobby rushed that three.
He needs about a split second more to hit those.

Hummel
Good to see him score and get a block his back should be ok i hope

The knee concerns me though
Don’t know if it was his knee or ankle.

JJ
Cant tell if we are getting the ball to him or not but like to see him get some more shots

Bit of a dry stretch here`
pritchard is killing us on the offensive glass
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
JJ
wit 4 blocks could be on way to tripple double if he gets the ball more
by Delaware Boiler on Feb 21, 2009 2:44 PM EST reply actions
he's rebounding well too
That only makes him better. If he gets going ont he offensive glass they cannot stop him

MArcus Green is a beast
That play was just like the one he stole Tuesday night

Worst clock management ever
Indiana didn’t even look like they knew the half was almost over.

JJ has a pretty jumper
If he can step into it he has a very nice 17 footer

22 for Moore
Ties a season high for him from the Oklahoma game. Career mark is 28 at Northwestern last year.
What did Eric Gordon do again?

Seems like
the floodgates might be about to open…

Keaton is struggling
looks like he is the one having the bad game today. That steal was ugly
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
Our passes aren't clean today
We just don’t have it. Good thing we’re playing IU
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
Yeah, I can't watch
but about every minute or so Clisby says somebody else dropped another pass. Strange…it seems like this has been a problem all year long.

Have a seat, Kyle
Just poor coaching to leave your one scoring threat today in with 4 fouls and more than 9 minutes left.

Marcus' line
looks pretty good again today. A few boards, a few points, not trying to do too much. Without watching the game, it’s hard to tell, but between MSU and this game, it seems like he’s starting to play a bit smarter. I hope he can come on late the way Crump did last year.

agreed
Green is a guy we need to all the little, dirty-work type of plays. When he does that we’re a much better team.
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
OK, Challly
I’ve defended your 3 point escapades through thick and thin, but no more. I don’t want to see you even thinking about a shot outside of 18 feet unless we’re up 25 with under 5 minutes to go.

Question for those watching
Clisby’s been making a big deal about Verdell Jones pushing off while trying to penetrate. I noticed him doing that a bit in the IU-UW game earlier this week as well. Not that I don’t trust the Cliz, but what do you think? Has he been getting away with the push-off too much?
by septimusharding on Feb 21, 2009 3:56 PM EST reply actions
I don't think it has been that bad
There have certainly been a few missed calls and everything, but Pritchard’s shoulder to Hummel’s face was worse

The rule of 64 may fall today...
20-0 when hold teams to 64 or less, 0-6 when they score 65 or more
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
I expect a black hole
to open up right in the middle of Keady Court if IU is able to get over 64…
by septimusharding on Feb 21, 2009 4:10 PM EST reply actions
maybe thats a good sign
from now on we can just win no matter what the score
by Delaware Boiler on Feb 21, 2009 4:13 PM EST reply actions
Good call
A win is a win. This one counts no more in the standings than Tuesday’s did
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
Right on
We’re sitting a half game out of first, and MSU faces a resurgent Wisconsin Sunday. Just for tomorrow, I say we allow Marcus to be better than Carl.
by septimusharding on Feb 21, 2009 4:18 PM EST up reply actions
Exactly
Wisky needs to win tomorrow, then I will go for Illinois on march 1 against Sparty in Champaign. Assuming we can win the next three games that would give us at least a tie for the conference.
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
IU Sucks
Their gonna finish dead last in the big 10 in both football and basketball. I believe the only other team to do that in the history of the Big 10 conference was North Western.
Go Colts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
