Joining us now, and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so based on that segue.

On the Express Pro Tire and Auto Guest Line is the voice of the Indiana Hoosiers, Don Fisher.

Don, the reality is this.

I mean, I guess there's kind of no way to sugarcoat it.

That was, I just thought at the end of the game yesterday, you know, it was clearly chaotic. So let's begin with this. If we're going to go

with the fact the sun is out today before we discuss the end of the game, give me points of that

game yesterday, if there were some that were encouraging, if any, for Indiana in terms of the

way they played, because Maryland is a pretty good basketball

team. They are. Indiana found themselves down 10 in the second half, and Indiana came back and

actually took the lead by five, I think with about three and a half minutes to go, something like

that, still led by four, I think,

just at about the minute mark and had a chance to win the ball game. They just did not make

the plays at the end that constitute a victory. And without question, that's the disappointment,

because in the end it did bounce back and got back in the ball game. They were only down one at halftime, so it was a close game throughout most of the

contest.

But that 10-point lead they had with right about 10 minutes left in the cont.

And the game itself looked like things were going down the tubes.

And Indiana righted the ship, so to speak, and got back in it.

And really had a chance to win the game

and probably should have.

In terms of, you know, Malik Renu comes back, who we know is, you know, might be Indiana's,

it's maybe a fair to say best player, but obviously a critical piece for them.
