IU vs. Minn

who wins and why

[Npride 141]

I say Hoosiers win. AH is going to be ROWDY. Big Ten opener at home with a fully stocked student section. 17,451 of my friends and I are going to make life miserable on Tubby's team. Close game, tough game, Hoosiers by 9.

[hoosier93 33]

I agree, a little worried about MInn for the fact that the just beat Illinois pretty handedly at Illniois but i believe the hoosiers will be winning at half, a strong effort by Minn to take the lead with around 10-8 minutes remaining but Indiana win by 7

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Indiana wins. Why? It's at Assembly Hall. I think the Hoosiers could play the Harlem Globetrotters in Assembly Hall and still win. I also think Indiana is a better team. Minnesota has had a great start to the season, they are extremely athletic and try to get up and down the court quickly. The problem for them, Indiana likes to run too.

I'll be concerned if Indiana doesn't win this game because they have added incentive due to the beating they took at home last year. Hoosiers will lead from start to finish, with one small scare with under 5 minutes to go. Got to love predictions!

IU wins because of depth (Minny had ZERO bench points and only 3 guys in double figures) and a DEAFENING home crowd!!! Plus, they were our only home loss last year- don't think our guys will forget that.

[MrYuk 208]

I think it'll be close and even scary at times, but IU is just too deep for em, Minn just won at Assembly Hall, it wasn't the REAL Assembly Hall. IU by 5

[hoosier93 33]

I understand the It's Assembly Hall, but It was Assembly Hall last year when they walked in and handed the hoosiers their only loss at home.

How wasn't it the REAL Assembly Hall?

[MrYuk 208]

How wasn't it the REAL Assembly Hall?

......cause it was at Illinois........

[Npride 141]

Minn being the only home loss we had all year will only add fuel to the fire, I feel. I have no doubt that IUBB won't forget that just like none of us have.

[hoosier93 33]

I thought you ment last year sorry

[MrYuk 208]

I thought you ment last year sorry

It's all good, nothin to be sorry about

[hoosier93 33]

Mbakwe could prove to be a very strong test for Zeller. This will be the first time he is Truely tested i believe.

[Kineticz 87]

I think Zeller got tested in the Butler game. I think we put CWAT on Mbakwe. Or maybe we do some Zone, this might be the reason Coach has been working on it in game situations. They have only made 84 3 pointers this season.

[coachmayhew 1,414]

No zone defense please, hasn't been pretty so far this season. Stick with man to man and use good help defense, stay out of foul trouble.

[IUHoosier5 1,366]

The Hoosiers take this one. What better way to open up the B1G season at home than against the team that beat IU at Assembly Hall to ruin the perfect record at Assembly Hall. I expect Oladipo to be the X-Factor in this game. He will bring the house down tomorrow. This will be an entertaining game as both teams love to run the court. Wouldn't be surprised if the Gophers got in foul trouble real early. Smoke the Gophers!

[swishinj 27]

I want to see Cody Zeller show the nation that he is the best player in the country. I want him to do to Mbakwe what he did to Meyers Lenard last year. Just go off on the Gophers

[hoosier93 33]

Honestly I don't care who wins the POY award, although it would be nice, I just want to Win

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

Hoosiers win this one going away. I think its gonna be around 82-77 or so, some clutch free throws down the stretch. Assembly Hall is gonna be rocking and be the difference maker. 

[hoosier93 33]

77-69
