Ohio State has already clinched the two seed for the Big Ten Tournament. But a home win from Notindiana today would would secure a fourth-straight Big Ten regular season championship for Thad Matta's team. So, GO #NOTINDIANA.
Comments
#NOTINDIANA is a good rooting preference, but #NOTMICHIGAN is such a good choice too.
But #NOTMICHIGAN means we don't win a BT Title this year. I would like one of those.
If NOTINDIANA wins will they be back in it for a number 1 seed in the NCAA tourney because if thats true then I don't know if i can root for them today

Put it this way: they can still make history and be the first 1 seed to lose to a [lowest seed number right now]. It would be beautiful.
I feel like I'm watching kethup v.s. mustard.
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
This made me lolz
Me too!!
God, why is scUM trying to run with IU?
I'm so confused every basket Indiana scores makes me feel happy, and then I have to remind myself that its bad.
"I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault."
--Jack Tatum
Feel the same. God, I can't stand TSUN.
Good god, Burke, pass that out.
I now feel better about our win Tuesday.
Not sure notindiana can play the run game with them
notindiana's uniforms are god awful, as usual.
They're doing okay right now.
There's too many mixed feelings about this. I'll have to just check the score later.
Not enjoying the fact that the fans at Crisler are 100x as into it as the fans at the Schott were today. Lame.
if OSU had been playing IU or UM the crowd would've been more into it. unfortunately the schott seems to only get rowdy for a select few opponents.
True. Can't say that makes it any less lame though.
Yeah, tough to compare our ho-hum victory against a middle of the pack B1G team to a top ten match up with conference title implications. Very different context.
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."

I see Tom Crean's douchey-ness made it to AA today.
Does it travel with the team or does it have its own arrangements?
They're game is a) later and b) against a bigger opponent. We know that our basketballl fans aren't that great, and the students are off, so they're not as loud as usual here.
I see this game as win-win. Looks like the refs are letting 'em play. Plenty of contact in this game.
The CBS score line at the bottom of the screen has "NotIndiana" spelled wrong.
Another Indiana flop
the pace of this game is making me dizzy.
I can't deal with this, I can't even remember who I'm rooting for, going to watch tiger for a while.
seems like zeller draws fouls like it's his job
I need a shower after this one
I haven't seen this many jump-shot-passes since playing NBA Jam
God, I feel like I'm watching a video game with the amount of running they do.
where is burke?
edit: he just showed up.
I had to wait for the camera to zoom in to realize that notindiana actually DOES have numbers on their jerseys...
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
If you squint hard enough you can see the last names on the back of their jerseys.
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."
If we have to rely on notindiana to be champs, I don't want it.
suit yourself but i'm pretty sure osu will take it.
Now the real question is: is scUM's defense that good or IU's offense that bad?
Yes.
This is definitely a more enthused notindiana team in comparison than the one that played Purdue
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
I know, I'm confused as hell. Can't watch it anymore...
I feel like Indiana thought they were just going to cruise over OSU and Michigan
I don't have any confidence in Michigan's defense to hold this lead though
Imagine what kind of player Zeller would be if Izzo or Matta had been able to develop him.
Schrute farms beets?
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
He has all the offensive tools, but physicality bothers him. Izzo and Matta have been able to get their bigs to learn how to play through contact. Granted, we have the challenge of making Amir play through contact, which he is slowly kind of getting. Plus, Matta would actually get him touches.
Shehee looks like an OSU cheerleader
I hate being glad when SE Michigan University scores.
And Doug Gottlieb is stating the obvious. Your starters are better than your bench players. So true.
Good first half of basketball. One these two teams has to lose - yeah!
What would make this game special, though . . . I'm hoping that a PETA protestor rushes the Indiana bench and throws red paint on the rat pelt perched atop Tom Crean's head. I have nothing against the wearing-of-fur. I just hate Crean and want him to get his just deserts.
Just can't root for those guys up north. I know, TSUN winning means we're BIG co-champs, but as much as I want that, can't stand to see the yellow guys winning. Go IU.
Only down by three. Indiana can comeback. Just make the shots and hit the free throws and this game is theirs for the taking!
You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing. - Gordon Gee
Burke 1/5 shooting from the floor and 4 turnovers in the first half.
Wow... 15th offensive rebound for IU already
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore...
And the game is suddenly close, of I just haven't been paying attention to the score.
How does he fall like that from a little shove?
Awful officiating
That was a dumb foul, but he flopped to make it seem worse than what it was.
Zeller is a girl
Cody Zeller is an open-mouth breather...
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
And Yogi flops.
Live by the flop, die by the flop.
Zeller would be better if he was taught to actually play through contact and his team consistently played through him. That said, the charge was the right call.
IU isn't the only team that flops seems like...
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."
Mitch McGary is everything that is wrong in America.
Did you see the push he gave on his way off of the court... Gross
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Burke is losing a lot of his POY credentials today
These scoring droughts for both teams are kind of mystfying.
And that foul on McGary was meh.
Whoever had the line earlier about ketchup v mustard, I'm finding myself thinking "go mustard" or "c'mon mustard" while watching this game. So much better than some alternatives.
I'd hate to see Ketchup win just because of that creepy, weirdo of a coach of theirs...

Victor Oladipo has 10 pts, 9 rebounds. Trey Burke is 2/9 shooting and has 4 turnovers. That is all.
Well, there goes whatever defensive prowess I thought mustard had...
And Burke is having that phenomenal game at home....I think even if they win this game today, they're going to have an early exit from the tournament.
My 9 yr old is sitting here and is yelling for "NotIndiana" to quit Michiganing their pants! I love being a Buckeye!
Buckeye in PA purgatory
I'm with you 81- it must be the "Woody" generation influence. Just can't root for them.
The sad thing about this game is although we want mustard to win, if mustard loses we want it to be by a LOT. We just have to look at this as a win-win no matter what happens.
Gee what a surprise, Michigan blows it
Least favorite game I've had to watch in recent memory
"I like to believe that my best hits border on felonious assault."
--Jack Tatum
Geez. ANother TV timeout.
Oh. Burke called that timeout.
that was 3 commercial breaks in less than a minute of playing time. Well done CBS
Wow, awful defense on that one.
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."
NotIndiana doing a brady Choke.
WIBUCKEYE
zeller gets so many weak calls......teams played sullinger the same way and he rarely got the benefit of the whistle........refs will give this game to indiana
Makes it amazing how he didn't get as many fouls against us.
Well, at least this game is amusing if nothing else.
I wish we had a player that could get away with stuff as much as Zeller does
How about Indiana try to guard that side three pointer!
You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing. - Gordon Gee
Haven't seen hoke today- he must be back in Bedrock with Wilma
Blew a layup...hilarious!
Michigan is worse than us at layups
I use to like that song before today.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I would be pissed if I were a mustard fan with that offensive possession and their D overall.
If they win their fans will be oblivious and think they don't have any weaknesses. But they sure do and will be vulnerable in both the Big 10 and NCAA tournaments.
To be honest, aren't we that way, too? We look at our wins with a rosy memory. What weaknesses do you remember form the IU game? I sure don't remember that many.
That should have been 3 seconds on him anyway...
McGary is so bad, jeez.
Like really really bad...
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
that was one of the worst offensive possessions I've ever seen
Burke is the hero today for the sun and blue crew.
Edit: assuming they win.
Refs...just...what...
What makes Ohio State and ******** such a great rivalry? In my opinion it's the best rivalry in sports because of the pure utter hatred between the two. Take UNC and Duke or sox and yanks... Rivalry yes, but I sense a hidden mutual respect for one another in those cases. There is no respect between them and us. Nothing but hatred. So much so that if I have to sacrifice another banner being hung in the Schott, I'm ok with that, as long as I don't have to root for them. It goes against everything I believe in. Maybe I need to lighten up, I mean I know it's not football. But if they lose and Indiana wins it outright... How will you sleep tonight? My conscious is clear.
Maxwell Benjamin Couch
This is a win-win, Max. And look at it this way, we're not cheering for scUM, we're cheering for Indiana to lose. If they win, worse seed for scUM, better for us.
Axel Foley in the house gauging by the music.
Another timeout? They are prolonging the agony!
Did I hear that right? Indiana with a +21 rebound advantage?
Edit. It's true. LOL
Wonder what is being said in that huddle? My bet is an argument on better 80s hairdo between Creen and Hulls.
The team that actually blocks out more down the stretch is gonna win this thing...sheesh.
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."
hey i found this awesome picture of crean during that last commercial break...
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Burke getting all the soft touches. Damn it! Play some defense and put Oladipo on him!
You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing. - Gordon Gee
Geez, stop with the time outs and just finish the game, please.
Well said Max. .. That sums it up
now get a stop again, notindiana
YES!!!!!!
Awesome they called travel
Roll with it.
Huge! Indiana falling apart.
Uh oh....if you are Indiana
Hey Belein, you're helping Ohio win another conference championship, you asshole.
I feel dirty... want that B1G title. Just close this out!
Big Ten Regular Season co-champions: Ohio State
Dude! Not yet.
I'm assuming they make their FTs of course :)
I feel like a complete jackass now, but that was still so god damn funny! I can't breathe!
You know what, no matter the outcome, the meltdown from one of these fanbases will be beautiful.
What a fine point.
Actually enjoy it more for IU. They lost 3 straight to blow it.
Why the hell did Indiana not call timeout before that last possession?
Tom Crean's post game handshake is morphing into a blow-by as the clock ticks down.
If Ravenel gets called for an intentional, why wasn't that called?
different officiating crew?
COME ON INTENTIONAL FOUL!
cuz it's indiana
Anyone else hearing the announcer saying rake as rape?
I did.
100% intentional
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Freaking free throws
make your free throws and stay in hulls' face
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Please don't Michigan this up damn it!
Mustard is going to get beat.
COME ON!
Choke so hard...
Well, scUM is screwing themselves over.
God, what a monumental choke job. Hate you, Michigan.
Craft would have made that shot. B-)
This is one of those situations where i am really happy that i despise M*chigan.
i want to puke. but at the same time it's kind of funny
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
I would say unfreakingbelievable but with mustard, all things are possible.
LOL
I don't even care that was hilarious
The one time we counted on you guys...jerks.
"Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you."
Wow. Can't say I'm disappointed in that lol.
brady Choked!
WIBUCKEYE
Burke is a great player but cannot close big games out.
Well, at least that means that scUM has to play Penn State again in the BTT, right? Since they're now a 5 seed.
MASSIVE choke. Disgusting.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
That is worth a banner!! F michigan
Of course they blow it. CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE.
We should all thank our superior being of choice that we are not from TSUN.
Well, that sucks!
How poetic watching the ugly block M falling off the rim.

M*c*i*g*n W T F ! ? !
That was the easily the shortest period of time that I was angry that the team I was rooting for lost. I went from saying WTF, to laughing in a matter of 20 seconds.
I should be very upset right now, but at the same time, I'm enjoying this.
HAHAHAHA they blew it!
You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing. - Gordon Gee
They "Blue" it.
Well, for what it's worth, the better team overall won today. And that's how it should be. My neighbor from Marysville went to that game today. How freaking funny is it that he now has a 4-hour drive home after that heart-breaking (for him) loss?
this is a strange feeling
rooting on notindiana but yet enjoying the fact that the highlighters choked.
too bad though. almost had that championship
TSB: Typical ScUM Behavior
This game really was a win-win situation, either win the B1G or die of laughter from watching Michigan choke when they had multiple chances to win
hate to say it but had that been olidipo driving for a last chance shot a foul wouldve been called......but michigan did choke it away from the ft line......im at a loss for words bc i wanted our buckeyes to get a share of the title and i hate tom crean but i dislike ttun so idk
#2 seed is still good. Lets go take the B1G tourney title.
Wow......mixed feelings day.....meh. I need a shower now.....and more beer.

AACC, doing squat since 1817.
What a phenomenal consolation prize for finishing #2 in the B1G...watching your arch rival suffer a crushing defeat at home..
Hopefully their hangover about carries into the B1G tourney and into the NCAA tourney.
It was also better that it was close because we got to see more looks of disappointment in the stands and on the bench.
Last year OSU beat MSU to give scum a share of the title. This year they couldn't return the favor. I hate Michigan!!!!!!
To make things even funnier: Michigan misses the bye in the tournament and has to play Penn State
You know what would be absolutely hilarious? If Penn State beat them again.
Sounds like Crean got into it with an ast coach from tsun post game. Words exchanged in the line, and then after. Why am I not surprised?
I have to say that while I've had plenty of practice rooting for NotIndiana in basketball over the years, it'll be nice to be getting back to rooting for NotMichigan again now.
I cannot believe I got sucked into thinking that SE Michigan University would do anything but choke in a game when a championship was on the line.
Congrats to Crean et al for a masterful job getting those guys to miss their free throws, and for the expert boxing out at the end. Coaching triumph from one of the classiest guys
in the businesson that bench.
