Hoosiers face less hostile crowd
As Indiana freshman Eric Gordon warmed up Sunday about an hour before the game, an Ohio State fan, painted head to toe in white, shouted from the stands. "If you think it was bad Thursday at Illinois, you have no idea what it's going to be like today!'' said the fan. "We're going to be on you all day long.'' Not exactly. With the exception of a three-minute rendition of "air ball, air ball," every time Gordon touched the ball at one point in the first half, and a quick chorus of "liar, liar" as he attempted free throws in the final seconds, it was a kinder, gentler experience. "It was a lot friendlier out there,'' Gordon said with a smile as he stood outside the Indiana locker room after the game. "We just came out to play.''

IU doesn't play "Ohio", they play Ohio State. You sure you are a Hoosier fan?

"It is a well known fact OSU bsaketball fans are awful" Just because we don't taunt the opponents parents and throw ice, doesn't mean we are "awful" just good fans. And every home/conference game was a sell out.

Good point, buckeyebabe!
If Illinois had just booed during the introductions, but not embarrassed themselves by slandering Eric Gordon, his family, and the state of Indiana, we wouldn't be judging the Illinois fans so harshly.

Ohio State is the only team worth noting in the state of Ohio, so I often can be found refering to them simply as "Ohio"... makes no difference.

In your original post you said"even last year when the Bucks were goodm the fans didnt show.." I was pointing out that the home/conference games were all sell outs.

They way Illinois treated Gordon, it will make the Purdue crowd look like a church crowd on Sunday morning.

Illinois is a joke. Must suck to be a fan when you have Daffy Duck as your coach.
