[Alford Bailey 12,248]

Perfect time to earn some respect on the big stage. I hope we are ready.

[Parakeet Jones 3,733]

With just over 24 hours to get hyped, I am sure my blood pressure will be at stroke level by tip off tomorrow.

exactly I hope this is the start of the resurgence of iu as a contender. Great opportunity ahead next few games

[Five Prime 1,076]

Kentucky's defense is legitimate. We are going to have to play solid defense ourselves. I think our potent offense will be just enough to outflank their defense while keeping their mediocre offense at bay with our mediocre defense. Also, we need Yogi to outplay Ulis and our frontcourt to hold their own.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

I doubt Crean does it, but this is the perfect game to use the Yogi/Johnson/Williams/Anunoby/Bryant starting 5.

Agree completely

[Trish 11,408]

Our defense needs to be up another notch than what it was yesterday. Nick and Collin need to step it up on the defensive end and of course nail some threes.

 

It's going to be a fast pace game which both teams will love. Yogi has a couple inches on Tyler and is much more stronger. Yogi is also a better shooter. I really don't think Nicky can contain Jamal, so we're going to need RoJo to do what he did last night.

 

This is game of the year and perhaps, dare i say, crean's biggest game of his IU career?...

Gonna get a UK shirt in the morning to lay a"steaming hot brown" on it about 5:15pm tomorrow ! Oh yeah!!!!

I don't understand people wanting to change the starting lineup. Why mess with what's been working?

[coonhounds 8,690]

Time for a new tom to take charge

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Thanks very much LI!

No Barclay for me- 1st day in NYC and all.

Any preference between the two places you listed? Will have the nine year old super fan with me

Neither are necessarily family environments, but i think the upstairs at Professor Thom's has a better atmosphere. No seating at either really

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

I can honestly feel the blood going to my eyeballs over the thought of facing Kentucky. Would like nothing more than seeing Calipari and his band of Cretins walk off the court a loser. Three pointer from Zeisloft with .01 seconds left on the clock, for the win, would be nice.

I mean, yeah I'd take that, but I want a good 7-8 point Hoosiers lead with 60 tics left.

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

I think that the UK players not understanding this rivalry like Yogi and Collin do is a huge blessing. It's just another game because they don't know any better, you can see the fire in Yogi's eyes for this game. I've said it before, but this seems like a game that he can will us to victory. His attitude and demeanor on the court is down right infectious. If we come out with our hair on fire, like I know we can, this game is gonna be fun.

[VO5 8,272]

Haha I don't really care what a bunch of one and done players from UK think. They just use the program to get to the NBA. It absolutely is a rivalry, regardless of what they think. And lol at that Derek Willis comment about bob knight. He absolutely knows who he is because he went on a recruiting visit here. Just trying to say anything he can to downplay the IU-UK matchup

What was the comment?

[VO5 8,272]

What was the comment?

saying they only know of 1 rival and that's Louisville. Willis said he didn't know who bob knight was, and asked if it was the guy who threw the chair.

It doesn't matter what school you go to, but if you're a basketball player then you know who Bob Knight is. That'd be like a guitarist not know who Hendrix was.

Not sure if the quote from the players shows how ignorant or disrespectful they are of IU. Can't imagine an IU player saying that stuff.
