The Big Woodie 71 KOs da lightweight Howie 67. IU goes for the BTT Championship Belt!

Just win, baby!

I'm getting bruises. And Race misses free throws and gets a 3. I'm confused.

Sloppy ball handling... Un freaking believable.

Having been at the OSU OT loss game. IU really .... uh, can't close a game well?

So many mental errors. I mean mine. Ran out of bourbon before the game.

TJD and IU are getting punked by the refs.

Just hit some shots and IU wins going away. In spite of the zebras not watching that game.

When Rutgers defender underneath hangs on one arm then tackles our shooter on the other...how is that not a foul?

No 3 pointers. Work it inside.

I went whoa after Trayce missed the first shot. But they are going after it. Race is a real hard worker. Trayce is smooth...and Rutbutrs has no answer inside.

On the way to hang a 6th NCAAT Championship Banner! Beat Rotguts!

I'm out of bourbon. But there's lots of beer and wine and some brandy...whoa...some rum from St. Martin...yeah! Oh...looky there...something clear from Austria...korn? Oh...and peach schnapps. I'm good through halftime.

I heard that Josh got a black eye from pulling a groin in a shower. It was his back eye...but...

If and when pigs fly...I bet their wings would taste delicious.

Wonder if Coach Woody is going to put on his game face today. Why doesn't some rookie sports journalist ask him?

Since I will be on the road to Ft. Myers Beach at the time... Indiana 73 Lil Brother (aka Barf n Gag U.) 66 There's a dive bar down there called Hoosiers in Paradise. Can't make it in time...but not sure we would go there vs. the beach.

Indiana Hoosiers 70 Rutgers Sopranos 66 I'll make this short and sweet...between NY and Philly is interstate. (I say this with respect because my sister-in-law almost graduated from IU and then, years later, graduated from Rutgers. I could say more but...)

I'm very impressed with the insight and deep thought that Alaska Hoosier put into this analysis and prediction! Talk about in it to win it! Natty better be watching closely. I think that this prediction game is very helpful. It keeps certain people off of the street. And in the bars.

Yeah, cool...go ahead and be depressed. Don't celebrate a road win in the B1G. IU did play well for about 3/4 of the game. Minny did go on a streak...a huge streak for 8 minutes. Closing out remains a concern. But, IU beat the Vegas line by a couple and brought home a win. Phin played and gave Xavier a break. He didn't even warm up and dropped in some points and played well enough to help. Xavier play has improved. IU is 9-9 in the B1G and 18-10 overall. Pretty much like what some of us expected and not as good as some hoped. Kopp is doing better. Check out Geronimo's line... And IU isn't turning over the ball a lot. The players seem, finally, to be avoiding their flaws. We all see flaws. But just for a few hours. I will enjoy the game. And I will not dwell on the myriad of things that could be improved. With all of the negative crap going down on this Earth..and with the drumbeat of trying to get our attention by scaring us.. I really like to take a break once in a while and enjoy basketball with our team Indiana. And I believe attitude is important. That is why I like to voice the opinion: Be happy. We won on the road.

A win is a win. Just be happy, people.

I have 10 point lead in the prediction thread. And a full bottle of bourbon. I'm good.

Go guys!

Wow! This is really helping my bourbon go down. Indiana is trying to move on offense. Defense is looking good. But Minny is really not into the game. Wonder what is happening there?

Minny wants to give us this game. Oblige...please.
