Dave from Dayton

A stab from the past: Archie Miller's Rhode Island team is beating Dayton.

Enough time for a beer run?

Tonight, IU will be Phi Slamma Jamma!

I do not get a negative feeling about the situations going into this game. I do get a feeling that IU is on the cusp of something great. Let's go Hoosiers!

Updated prediction: Winner in stripes: 82 Losers can't hit the inside of their barn 58 Elijah Craig small batch select on a rock. If I can stay awake. If Shafino has game then the IU score will be outasight. Every time Kopp shoots, I have to freshen my drink. Every time TJD uses his right hand or hits from 7' or more...I have to finish the drink. (Lucky me, I have a full bottle.)

Mini soda is not a good team. But they do not quit. And they are at home. They just jump out and score early and fade. I hope they fade. Their center, Garcia, got 2 fouls early against Meat Chicken. It was game over. That and they only got 7 FTAs. IU, on the road? Take a deep breath. IU 76 Watsamatta U. 64

Little step brother up north just may lose to Maryland. 3 point game with 3:45 remaining.

Not bad.

Time to unleash the secret weapon!

Let the bodies hit the floor!

Sure is great to see some 3's going in for IU.

OK, here is the deal. IU at home against Izzo and his minions. Game Day! Got a fire laid in the fireplace. I'm up to the overflow mark in coffee. I'm fired up for this. Hope Shafino and crew get the ball across the half court line easily. Get the ball into the offense early. Take care of the rock. And all defend well. Watch Izzo change up defenses. Defend the 3. Don't get into foul trouble JG. Watch TJD handle a crowd of defenders. IU wins by 7. And the B1G is not out of the picture at this point.

Firesign Theater salutes you...while holding the dwarf with the pliers. Bringing the subject back to an IU win on the road in the B1G...has everyone noticed the huge steps that IU and Coach Woody have taken in the last few games?

MSU 69 Indiana 76 In MSU's recent win over Rutger, they hit 3's, 5 players in double digits, and Jaxon had a day...for him. Malik Hall F, is still out.

Yeah! And maybe something about the 'great' food in the Champaign-Urbana metro area. The best being a Rally's or White Castle knock off... Probably the reason why their center was not feeling well. Insert gif of the Exorcist, well, you know.

If anyone has a good understanding of the early technical against Race and/or another IU player on the bench, please enlighten us. I think that IU players have started to realize that effort throughout the game is a requirement to compete well. Wonder what changed? Did TJD get into players' faces and really start vocalizing? Did Coach Woody's getting on TJD make the difference? How is TJD's back? Is Shafino's wrist ok? Who is the best defender on IU's team. Is Coach Woody turning it up a notch? A tip of the old toupee to the team and the coaches. And to those fans that cheer IU through thick and thin.

A road win at Illinois! Just keep on truckin.

We need Shafino to do something.

Defense will keep this game away from Illinois. Great game IU!

Does Race have one less point than Kopp?

Keep it going, Hoosiers!

Illinois started to hit. Defense has to be stiff again. Illinois will adjust and double TJD. IU has to be ready to kick it out to Shafino. Kopp has to get a couple of points.

Is TJD getting tired? How come UI is getting inside more?

Walton is far out, man.

A couple of bourbon on the rocks and a little wine with dinner. I'm ready to shoot a couple of threes.
