[...] that was nice! The Good Hogs certainly came to play tonight, firing on all cylinders in a most impressive 86-72 win over Indiana. It’s amazing how a big NCAA tournament win erases the bad memories of dismal midseason [...]

Seniors did a good job. Maybe Charles Thomas will reappear against North Carolina. I really liked seeing Townes and Hill in there at the same time. Big difference defensively with Hill in the game.

Way to go, Hogs! Great effort!
That was a BIG win! The March Madness drought is over for us, that is a HUGE monkey off of our back. We are playing the #1 team in the country next, so the pressure is off. What do we have to lose??
Just play…Go Hogs!

Great win! We need our big men to play well the rest of the way as well. You might as well say we’ve lost Stefan Welsh. If he’s only 75% for the game, Pelphrey might as well save himself and the team the trouble. It’s hard enough to keep up with Ty Lawson as it is. If our frontline doesn’t hustle, we’re done for. If our guards don’t play good perimeter defense, and make good decisions with the ball, it won’t make much difference anyway. It’s hard to emagine UNC not bringing thier A-game. I hope the Hogs do the same. GO HOGS GO!!!!! BEAT UNC!!!!!
