Me So Hornsby

In Yogi we trust.

That CWat dunk was crazy. I lost it when I was watching the game. 4. Will's little celebration after that 3 is still my favorite thing ever. It's even my profile pic haha. One of my favorite players ever.

  I watched some stuff on Bleacher Report and it is even worse there. Of course those guys have been saying we didnt have a chance since Chattanooga so...... 

https://youtu.be/j8ddztKDFr8   Fun look back to a few years ago :) cant wait for Friday.

I love this matchup, there is no better way than going through who we are going to face. We beat UK, now we have UNC and then we could have Kansas if we get that far. To me, going through Blue Bloods like that would be such an amazing thing. Max, TB, and OG have to be ready to go. We know what we will get with our backcourt against UNC but if our frontcourt shows up.... Boy oh boy I love this team. CTC might not be ready to be done coach this team, but I am no where down watching them either.

Damn. Still worth it haha

Second that on the banners! Where did you get those?

Car sales here. Strict shirt and tie dress code, but dammit I'm at least wearing an IU shirt underneath that shirt and tie!

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.

Agreed. I think OG and JM are going to have to step up big on the defensive end at least. These kids don't let the moment get in their head. They will be ready

I have never seen a fan base that attacks someone on forums like Kentucky. I guess I'm so far removed from the day of ESPN boards that I had forgotten how bad UK fans are. Saw one post from an IU guy asking a simple question and the immediate response was like being in 7th grade again. Regardless, I am so excited for this game. Yogi has been playing like a man possessed and you kind of get the feeling that it's another situation where a great player just won't let his team lose. He would literally cut his heart out for this team and everyone feeds off of it so well. Yogi, max, and rojo are going to be the keys to this game. Mark it down.

Yale is super impressive today. This is a really fun game

So much nervous energy for this game.... Dont get off work until 8, boy am I glad there is a Bdubs right across the street.

ESPN has IU as the #14 team in the Tourny. I really dont understand how we end up as a 5. Iowa State, Kentucky, Duke, and Cal got 4's....

Kuck Fentucky!

I will be taking advantage of my full hour lunch break to watch the first half then Ill be streaming at my desk.   I think OG has a big game, good guys by 10+

  There always has to be multiple viewpoints, these forums would be extremely boring if every just agreed with each other.   As far as the gloating I am doing....We should all be gloating shouldnt we? We just won the B1G outright, is that not something to be happy with? Especially since we have a decent amount of time until our next game.   I understand why there are people that think CTC is not the answer for our program, obviously I think otherwise but that does not mean I think my view is better than anyones. We should be focused on the fact that we have a team playing as well as pretty much anyone in the country, even without our starting SG. A team that has a chance to get a 2 seed in the tourny and plays the kind of defense and shoots the ball like championship teams do.    This is my last post in here, I love this fanbase and all the different views but I am too happy to argue. So I will see myself out, Go Hoosiers and Ladies and Gents its the best time of the year.

  Which is exactly what I said in the last sentence of my post. The B1G title means much less if there is a first round exit in the tourny. Does not mean we can't enjoy this until Selection Sunday.

By all means, I agree with you. I just think that this Fire Tom Crean thing has taken over so many peoples views on this program that its become this almost living organism of hate. Like as soon as something bad happens, everyone is up with pitchforks. Then when something great happens, it happened in spite of CTC. I love this fanbase but I have barely been on the forums because of the chicken little attitude.

Yes! This is my favorite post ever haha. B1G Champs!   P.S I unliked it just so I could like it again

  I can guarantee that people would be/are upset . Some of the things I have read all over the place have made that very apparent. The absurdity of this thread being on the front page of this forum when we have just won the second outright B1G title since 08(only team to do that) is what boggles my mind. I am going to enjoy this and I think this is the point where the posters who have had to endure the constant CTC bashing and just cancerous talk on every single forum post are going to really bask in what this season has been. We still have a lot to accomplish and this season is not done and we still need to do a lot for it to be a truly successful one, but we are back where we should be and I am very thankful for that.

At worst I think we are a 4 seed, which would be losing Sunday and the first round of the BTT. I think if we win Sunday and win 2 games in the BTT we are a 2-3. If we can pull off the BTT champ also.... I really like this team

This thread is kind of funny to read through. My only question is, are some of you too upset that CTC has coached his way off the hot seat that you havent/wont enjoy this season?

Im excited for this game. I think Bryant is going to kill it today and it really feels like Yogi is going to have a bounce back game. Who knows whats gonna happen but man after the Iowa game I am feeling good about this one.

Slightly off topic, but is anyone here on pacers digest? Maybe a mod? I have been trying to join and it will not let me.
