1.2 Million Dollars... for ONE Slow-to-react Player... for ONE Wasted Year... for NOTHING MORE THAN CONTINUED EXCUSES, with lackluster play and weak effort across the board, not just with Ballo. I've seen 8th Grade teams with more cohesiveness and hustle. Want to make more 3's? Try going STRAIGHT UP when shooting, with consistent, no fade follow-through, every darn time, and see what happens. I don't know if coach Cig knows much about basketball, but he sure as hell knows how to prepare and fire up young men to be great... every time they play, no matter the opponent. Not getting anything near that from Woody, "man!" So sad to watch (even in "wins" against inferior programs), it all makes me sick. Mark Deckard / GO IU!!

Call me "skeptical" about Ballo's "injury". Hatton said in post-game interview that he'd been told in the morning by assistants that he might be playing for Ballo...so much for Coach Woodson's suggestion it was spur of the moment. Also, there are photos of Ballo being in a Bloomington bar the night before...I have no idea if there is a team curfew.
