Game Thread : Illinois @ Indiana | 8:30EST on BTN

No thread yet? Better not tell Old Friend or it'll be Soap Box time.

By the way - we are apparently Illinois' rival. Underwood gets $15k bonus checks for beating us and Missouri. Does anyone here consider Illinois a true rival?

Nope. Not a rivalry in my eyes. But I can remember through the late 90 's and on we could not win AT Illinois no matter how good we were.

Since I was born, raised and live in the middle of Iwhini country, I do. Having said that, it is more of rivalry for Iwhini fans than Hoosier fans.

So if/when IU only plays Illinois once in B1G play, can he try for $30K in one shot?

For those who didn't get the decoder ring in their cereal box this morning, that was code for Eric Gordon.

The rivalry question..

I would say we have many secondary rivals in the Big Ten besides pu but not on the level of pu.

O$U
Michigan
Michigan State
Ill

Maybe 4th rate rival in the Big Ten?

We've got some momentum and we need to keep it going.  Could bode well for the B1G tournament where we seemingly have always done poorly.

Indiana (14-12) (7-7)      Illinois (12-14) (2-11)

Hopefully this team can exact some revenge, and make free throws. 3 of the next 4 will be against teams we've already played this year.

Does any Hoosier fan really consider Illinois a rival?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Didn't think so.  It's a rivalry in their eyes only, possibly a side effect of never really being relevant.

I don’t consider Illinois a rival. For me UK is the biggest rival, because they have national prominence in Men’s basketball as does IU. Sometimes the answer to this question is determined by which part of the state you were raised.

Hopefully the students are showing up loud and proud for this one?  

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,943]

No surprise.

Channel surfing to reach this game, came across Celtics-Clippers and Dick Vitale was on the call. It sounded weird hearing him broadcast an NBA game. Of course he was talking about Kentucky.

[mamasa 14,818]

So now it's Devonte Green's Indiana Hoosiers!  Interesting- usually is Juwan Morgan's or Archie Miller's.

 

EDIT- Sorry, didn't clarify.  That's what announcers said pre-game!

We need to lay one on em’!!!
GO HOOSIERS!!!
