Prediction League (Game 2 - Howard 11/12/17)

Recommended Posts

IU  74
How  70

The interesting thing is that I truly believe that you are a true blue Indiana University basketball fan, but go through this world absolutely convinced that things are generally not going to go well, no matter what.

As for this game? I have a sneaking suspicion that if Howard comes out and hits the first two 3 pointers an Indiana defender will pick up a technical foul for knocking a Howard player on his @$$ the next time he attempts one. In other words, I have confidence that Archie will put incredibly major stress on our team not playing “soft“.
Indiana 86, Howard 51.

That's not true at all.  I have a very positive outlook on most things in life. 

As far as IU basketball, I was only a few years old the 87 championship and was very young during the Calbert Cheaney years.  I don't really remember any of that.  I started really following IU basketball strongly about 20 years ago and it has mostly been a trainwreck.  The 2002 tourney run was amazing but really a curse in disguise as it ultimately led to 4 more of Mike Davis and then Kelvin Sampson, etc.  Without it we probably fire Davis a year later, hire Thad Matta, and have a few more FFs on our resume along with maybe banner 6.

I was a student at IU for 7 years and they were the last 3 years of Davis, the Sampson era, and the first 2 years of Crean.  Not exactly the best era of IU basketball.  Some of you older guys remember the Bob Knight glory years but I do not.  So if I'm somewhat negative from time to time that hopefully explains it.  I have said many times that Indiana is the sleeping giant of the college basketball world and has only lacked a good coach for about 20 years.  I think we finally have the right guy in Archie and am very optimistic about our future.
