It is tomorrow night against the Trojans of USC. That game 10 o'clock, local time, 7 o'clock, of course, on the West Coast and can be heard on our sister station 93 WIBC.

Joining us now on the Java House, Peel and Poor guest line. He is the voice of the Indiana Hoosiers, Don Fisher, joining us.

And Don, I'm not going to lie to you. I thought that game was about to go into a third overtime because I was at the Pacer game and was looking at my phone and following it that way on the game cast. And it got a little hiccup. And I said, oh, it's going to be a triple overtime. And someone close to me said, Don Fisher's going to lose his voice.

And I said, I doubt it, man. He's had plenty of two steps over the last couple of weeks.

But let's begin with this. You know, you could look at the end of the regulation and be disappointed in Indiana's lack of ability to close.

But I'd rather be the optimist and say that it took a lot of fortitude

and strength, especially when UCLA ramped up their defense, to find a way to win that game.

That to me was the kind of game that you can look towards and say, maybe that springboards

you a little bit towards something here. What did you see from your perspective?

Well, the one thing that I saw was, and I think this is what's crucial for this basketball

team right now, is a toughness factor. I just think that these guys, first of all, they had

three guys that filed out of the ball game and weren't even available at the end.

And they came up with other people.
