Dave from Dayton

I would like to thank the Academy for this award. By the way, I had a turnover for breakfast, too.

So I have a number of questions about Syracuse. Why did Syracuse lose against Colgate? Why is Syracuse seeming to play up and down? Which Syracuse will IU be playing tonight? What happens to Coach JB if Syracuse loses the next 3 games in a row making them 3 - 6? Should I take the over or the under?

Thanks so much for starting and continuing this thread about IU hockey teams. After graduating from IU-B, I worked in Madison WI and eventually got an engineering degree from UW-M. Meanwhile, my wife and I had season tickets to the UW men's hockey. It was a riot! I never missed it when IU visited in basketball and/or football. Every high school in Wisconsin floods their football practice fields and they become hockey rinks. I just walked two short blocks to the close high school rink. Lakes all over up there were frozen. Not like southern Indiana. By the way, I was at IU when soccer became a varsity sport. It happens.

Purely rational and objective Dickie V*: IU men #14; TJD POtW! Duke, Purdue take top two spots in Dick Vitale's Top 25, Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis top player (espn.com) *Vitale, 82, just returned to announcing games after battling melanoma...a very emotional time for him. And, as an aside, ESPN continues in the effort to regain any credibility by sensationalism and subjective analysis? Huh?

Do we get the first draft pick? Oh. Well. Thanks for putting the prediction game together! POTFB!

No live stream. But Indiana will win this soccer match.

I'm ready to watch all three IU games today. Go IU! Beat Washington, pee u(rine), and Marshall!

Jayhawks are no longer undefeated. Another one bites the dust. Go Flyers!

Kansas by 3 with about 1 Maybe, maybe not. Kansas started playing defense. Dayton just has to stop transition and do what they have done...share the ball.

Dayton leading #4 Kansas with 7 minutes remaining...68 - 61.

Indiana (15) visits Washington Huskies (2) Saturday at 8 ET in the 3rd round of the NCAA Men Soccer Tournament. Free live streaming is available at Washington Live Stream | Pac-12 NCAA Men's Soccer Third Round Match Information - University of Washington Athletics (gohuskies.com)

OK. I will take a stab at this game prediction. To date, Syracuse is 3 - 2. Today they play again in the Atlantis Tournament. The other team is rated #19 and is favored by 4. Their scoring has been up and down. And I haven't seen much of them except for the UConn game. Game is on the road for IU. Initial impression is that they play up to the competition...and are flexible. Can IU handle the zone and will turnovers be under 15? What will IU look like against a decent team on the road...coached by a great coach? IU 75 j' Accuse 71

Hope all are safe, with loved ones, and enjoy this great holiday! I hope that you all get stuffed. Honest...I meant that in the nicest way. Trust me. PS To those that manage, moderate this site and to those that make up the community of IU fans and posters...Happy Thanksgiving and thanks!

Both of my brothers went to Purdue. My parents wanted me to go to Purdue. I said: You have got to be kidding! IU has had the Old Oaken Bucket...what? FOR TWO YEARS!! If Purdue doesn't cancel this game, again...or whatever...IU will bring the bucket back to Bloomington for a third year. It's just the right thing to do... POTFB!

76 - Hoosiers 59 - Boogercats like to turn over the ball; don't defend the 3 well; don't steal the ball since West... but are better than some of the competition that we've seen. Marshall almost became known as the Boogercats but that lost out to a really decent handle of The Thundering Herd....which obviously refers to the buffalo, I mean bison...uh...nevermind. PS...have an outstanding Thanksgiving!

Game on!

Jeez. After reading this thread and getting depressed, I asked myself what could be worse than the above scenarios. So I took off my bifocals and washed my face...after taking out my hearing aids. Took a few ibuprofen, my meds... Then I reflected on the basketball program at IU since RMK and started looking for my bourbon. But I am out. I really like college basketball. Correction, I really liked college basketball and football. And I hope to like them a lot in the near future. But the worst thing may be happening. The P5 universities and conferences that really give direction to the NCAA have botched college sports. If any of us are left that think that college sports is not being bought and sold to the highest bidders...then enjoy it when the Alabamas and Ohio States of college football scene are in the BCS4 every. Single. Year. How is professional ball doing with their salary caps? I can't wait until all players have corporate pins and patches and logos on their uniforms. And the referees are also paid directly by the home team or the university that paid the non-P5 college to visit. That will be the single worst thing to happen. Oh, did I miss something already? PS: I really am a cup is half full kind of person. Excited for IU basketball! And for the players getting some fair compensation. But wonder about the all mighty dollar and the corporations, etc. I have a wonderful family and friends...and actually, for real...I am not and never will be out of bourbon.

I'd follow Stuhoo through hell and high water or into a bar if Stuhoo was buying! IU 35 Barf & Gag 0 Other than astronauts and the Subaru Outback that I have...the only good thing out of that place up north is...ugh...nothing.

Shocked! I am shocked! Oh my.... (Hoping for a participation trophy...) You may not believe this but I foresee an IU win over Purdon't. And I will wager all of my 703 buffalo chips.

Maybe because he has been listening to Barrell Rick...

We all most likely realize as you do that ranking is secondary to winning. Especially early in seasons. Especially if it is not the metric used by the NCAAT selection committee. Having said all that, it is something that we fans can complain about or brag about. It is an easy handle to discuss and easily compare in an acknowledged not to deep way. Much easier than saying this team beat that team on day one by a few points and comparing that and a myriad of other parameters to a bunch of teams over time. Back to the point...IU will get ranked if they keep winning; do better in the 2nd half; keep control of turnovers (under 15 or so); and shoot well; assuming defense is excellent; keep healthy; beat tougher competition.

Hit the road, Jack 59 Crimson turnover over and over 81 JSU @ Marshall https://gojsutigers.com/news/2021/11/21/mens-basketball-tigers-fall-on-the-road-to-thundering-herd.aspx

Final...IU by 2 - 0!

BG shot hits crossbar. IU at other end centers from left right across point zero...missed bunny.

Goal IU.
