I am not ready to make any sweeping statements based on one half of basketball.  Team came out tight and made a lot of mistakes because of that.  

Posh and Champ were not good, and we know that won't be the case in general, and you need your stars to star if you're gonna win a road game against a good team. 

Stanley and Pinzon showed that they will be players at this level.  So did Wusu, but we knew that. Those three and Stef Smith all came ready to play and the moment wasn't too big for them. 

Soriano played exactly as expected.  He contributed but mobile, skilled bigs are not what he's going to excel against.  That's fine. 

Wheeler justified Monte's skepticism this far, but the jury remains out (for me anyway) since it's only one half. 

Indiana's defense is absolutely rock solid, if you like defense you have to appreciate what they're doing. The refs are of course terrible. 

Let's see if Coach rights the ship for the second half - we've seen bigger comebacks than this would be. 

Need Julian to play within himself, no hero ball please. 
3 years(at Purdue) and 1 half. That's enough of a sample size for me /media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png
 
I just can’t continually watch IU shoot these wide open threes! Enough already!!
 
What are we doing watching them run the court and then foul?  We can win this!!
 
What is Soriano doing there??? Swiping at the ball from the side with that guy driving to hoop like that? Step in and take the charge! 
 
Nice to see Stef stepping up.  Now we need wheeler to do the same in spelling Soriano

Agree on Wheeler
 
 
Champ went soft after that loose ball, but then redeemed himself nicely
