Cant wait for the game. Got my candystripes, iu socks, and iu t-shirt on. LETS GO HOOSIERS! Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

Tradition, culture, fan base, and desire to do things the right way. Those four are things I love about Indiana Basketball. There are more, but really cherish those four things. Big props to my dad's mom for making us IU fans. Can't thank her enough for that! Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="JSHoosier" post="29659" timestamp="1389719046"]Wisconsin doesn't play as slow as they usually do, that's about the only chance I'd say we've got.[/quote] For me, I think Bo will slow it down for this game. He knows the best way to beat IU is to make them play slow and in the half court. Worries me because they can play some very good defense, and will try and take Yogi away. Not many teams can, but Wisconsin can. Just hope for a very good effort from our boys. Not expecting a win, but hope they keep it close till the end.

I felt IU should have won the last two seasons, and predicted as much. So, i will predict a loss to bring our Hoosiers some luck! 59-74 Wisconsin by 15 Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

First, i want to get this out of the way, I HATE WISCONSIN. Okay, i'm good now. This game scares me, but its because it is Wisconsin. That style of play really hurts IU, and IU's inexperience will really hurt us. I don't see us winning, but would help make the season if they can pull this out. IU has to limit turnovers to have any chance. Smart play will go a very long way in this game. Hope our boys are up for the challenge. Also, really hope no one is on the edge to jump if we lose by 15pts. This game does not set up well for our Hoosiers, so just be prepared. Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

What do you think guys?   I would have went with Noah, but felt even though Yogi struggled with his shooting, he was the MVP. This is the kind of ball handling we were expecting from him all season. 7 assists to 1 turnover. That's what IU needs! Noah played a great 1st half, but Yogi did a great job being a leader.   Big props to Jeff Howard, be played very hard and tough. Great to see!

I was very worried when IU was down 15. It's not that I lost hope, but this team is so young with questionable leadership. It was great to see the play hard as a team, and not playing street ball. Yes, it's Penn St., but IU needed this win! It was a must, and they gutted it out. IU's shooting struggled a bit at times, but they made plays when they needed. Sheehey really stepped up his game, and finally got back to what he does best. Being a glue guy that does whatever it takes to win. He didn't let his first half shooting bother him, and he kept at it.   Props to him, Howard, and Etherington. Guys who played tough, and impacted the game outside of scoring. Others did too, but those really stand out to me. Stan continues to impress which is great to see. Hope he starts soon, but he's a great 6th man to have!

Better get this started! I won't be able to watch the game till later because of work, but GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!

75 to 68 IU +7

Finally, Mallory is gone!!! It's about time, and now Indiana can move on to better it's future. Can't wait to see who we get!

Horrible game, but have to get this up. Sorry I haven't put it up yet. I apologize.   I am going with Stan. Hope to see him start next game.

  I'm from Mt. Carmel and played basketball/baseball with her oldest brother Tyler. I was a year younger. It is a small time, and we've always has to fight the small town stigma. I had a hard time getting recruited in baseball, even though I got invited to pro camps often. Just how it is sometimes. It also doesn't help if your head coach doesn't help in that process. I know Coach Willis personally (her high school coach), but I don't know how involved he was with recruiting because this is the only big time recruit he's ever coached. Same happened to me.   The Buss' are a good family. Really, really involved in sports, but have a true love for sports. Agree with the small town stigma.

The wife and I are getting out in Snowmageddon. Snow is really slowing. Going to enjoy the snow and clear off the vehicles. Time to go enjoy some snow. Wearing my IU beanie :) Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

Post your thoughts here!

I was at a Wal-Mart wearing my IU gear, and this guy all of the sudden comes up to me and starts talking IU. He showed me his picture, and stated who he was. It was #36, Myles Graham.  I didn't know if it was true, but stated he was back in Miami for the holidays.  Sure enough, Myles is listed from Miami, Fl.  I'm sure he's telling the truth lol.    It's been kind of fun because I'm seeing more IU shirts being worn in the area.  Neat way to talk to people lol.

I thought it was over in the 1st quarter ;) lol, just giving you a hard time. Anything is possible. Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="IUfan_Charlie" post="27832" timestamp="1388874960"]Sorry that I'm pissed that we are down 24-7 already. [/quote] Charlie, you know what I'm trying to say. You can't be emotional on every play. Colts are not playing great, and you have a right to be upset. But almost all of your posts during games are over the top emotional. Every play can't go your way every time. Stuff happens. Its all good, just letting you know what we are all thinking. Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app

Well said! Only thing, is that I don't blame Noah for his point total. He hardly ever got the ball, and did what he could. Stan was the Man today!

  Seriously dude, every play is not the end of the world. Chill out and don't get so emotional over every second! You are a good poster bro, but you get too emotional!
