Not-so-Live-Blogging the IU/Bulter Game

Indiana is hoping to give Butler and early Christmas present.

They've turned the ball over 13 times and have decided that they will not play defense.

They are only up five with six-and-a-half left.

Bulter is controlling the tempo of the game, but Indiana is dominating statistically.

Polk is eating them up. Killingsworth is going to have to step it up on defense.

Vadan is stepping it up and keeping Indiana ahead, but he's turning the ball over a lot too.

Man, someone get this team a point guard....

UPDATE: Indiana is up 12, but this is a horrible game. The officiating is inconsistent, but not benefiting either team. It is really hard to get a rhythm offensively, or defensively for that matter, when the threshold goes from touch to borderline anal-rape.

Indiana is having a very bad night defensively. I don't know why Davis hasn't had White and Killingsworth on the floor at the same time.

Then again, what do I know? Indiana is shooting very well, when they aren't turning the ball over.

FINAL UPDATE: Indiana hung tight with Robert Vaden and Marco Killingsworth dominating the game offensively. Marco shot 90% from the stripe and kept Indiana on top in the second half.

Indiana plays very, very tough and they are going to give opposing teams fits with the amount of depth they have. In Indiana's seven wins, they've been able to go to their bench and get a solid game from someone.

Their point guard play is a weakness, though. I don't think that they are hopeless, but Lewis Monroe has to be more aggressive in looking for shots. I love his unselfishness, and he doesn't suffer from a lack of confidence, so I think we have the ability to improve throughout the year there.
