Bucks ad campaign has to be the stupidest I've ever seen.

Well, if we didn't turn it over so much we'd have more shots for everybody.
THIS!! And offensive fouls. Not getting looks from the 3 either, 1 for 2.

Take some charges on those Hoosier drives and pull up jumpers by the Cats would go a long way.

This is classic tournament Calipari. He is not the same coach in the tournament that he is during the season. Just the dumbest moves.

And ONCE AGAIN free throws are hurting us in a tournament game. Happens every damn year but yet it must not be that important.

Matt Jones bait FTW!

If Murray can have even 75% of his typical second half, I feel pretty good. I don't think there is any possibility that Ulis doesn't cut down on his mistakes in the second half. Only down one in this game, it's ours for the taking.

Wtf is Cal supposed to do? He can't come on the floor and hit free throws or stop the silly turnovers.

He has to rotate bodies to keep them fresh, match moves by the clapper and foul trouble.

We can't lose this game. It's one thing to lose to UNC if they're the better team than us this year but it's a whole different thing to lose to Indiana. They're not as good and it would be a terrible way to go out.

Our players have to adjust, we are going to get called for charging every time we drive if they keep trying, when the refs call as many offensive fouls as they have and we keep doing it, we are going to lose, even though there is contact before the foul is called they are not calling it on the defense.

Yeah, that is why his tournament record is so horrible. o_O

Seriously. Willis and Murray have been hitting all year. Briscoe has improved, what more can you ask.

Hard to judge the coaching when we dont really know how far ahead we would be without Tyler missing the gimmies and all the stupid and/or BS offensive foul calls.

I'm a mess. Don't know what to expect in he second half. We started well, but when Poy went out it hurt us on defense. And we need to get Willis and Murray open for some 3's. IU playing better defense than I've seen them play.

With all this insane negativity on this thread you would truly think we were down 15 at half. Anyone watching this can see we are the better team and if not for the refs would be up 6 or so right now. I feel supremely confident in this game. Looking forward to the 2nd half !

If iu plays just 10% better than they did the 1st half.... we better step it up BIG TIME!!! That 1st half was crap on both sides

We should be up in this game. You can't let good shooting teams stick around. We might get blown out in the second half.

Tyler Ulis has been everywhere. He's the only player in double-figures. :basketball:

A parade of poor shooters aren't missing free throws. Good free throw shooters are missing free throws. It's unfortunate luck.

Ferrell got called for one but not much else.

We lead in rebounding and steals yet turnovers are killing us.
