BottomLine

INDIANA 88 B-C 64

We have some big games on the horizon. How is coach going to handle this game? He has a foot on the gas mentality. Wouldn't want to get into bad habits right? On the other had we need to go into the post season as healthy as possible. Depending on the lead I think we pull the starters by the 4th quarter but still tell the bench guys to go go go. Don't think we can match last years masacre in Bloomington. Hoosiers 6 TDs = 42 Total = 42 Losers from W Laugh -aye-et 1 TD = 7 1 FG = 3 Total = 10 (In other words they play over their heads)

Watched the Kansas State - Nebraska game. We continue to play like we have our heads up our rumps we lose this game. I know the bench isn't very deep, but the time has come for coach to start looking for the players that really want to be on the floor and want to be part of a team. Maybe an upgrade in competition will help. Indiana 80 K State 74

Thank you.

I'm a bit late to the party this year (been distracted by football). At present we have four players not playing. leaving us with only 9 healthy bodies + walkons. Does anybody have a status report for those four and any idea if and when they might return. I know that Acimovic played mop up minutes in the first exhibition. I'm guessing that he might be a candidate to red shirt but that is just a guess. Ristic, I think, played on our summer trip. He might have an ankle injury. Harris. I have no idea what is going on. The same for Drake. Hate to be shorthanded all season. You know injuries are going to come at some point, not to mention those games where the fouls mount up.

We play these chump teams in order to get our act together. Unfortunately sometimes it causes us to lose focus. See last game. Maybe this time we will get a hint of what kind of coach we have. Guessing that we look better than we did against IW, or else. Closest similar game for Lindenwood to this game is Texas Tech, a 98-60 loss. Only common opponent is Alabame A&M, a 74-65 loss. We crushed those guys. Hoosiers 104 Those guys 58

Who are these guys? The only other school that offered for Priller. They lost to Colorado State 98-64 and then crushed two small Christian schools. We have to be better that col st. Indiana 100 Woody 62

In six Big Ten games Wisconsin has scored only 40 points while giving up 153. Wisconsin has only scored 4 touchdowns in league play. This can be a big time blowout but Indiana is starting to get nicked up a bit. We need to get healthy again. Expect that to hold down the score a bit as we play the bench a bit more. At least that is the way I would play it. Coach Cim may see things differently. Hoosiers 5 TDs = 35 1 FG = 3 Total = 38 Wisky 1 TD = 7 Total = 7

Indiana 93 Milwaukee 69

Tossed a coin and it came up Hoosiers. At this time of the year and with a team this new, what else can you do? Hoosiers 75 Marquette 74

IU should win this game. Our defense has only given up 20 points once (Oregon). Penn St has only beaten Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Not a one is a football school. They have three losses to common opponents, Oregon (-6), UCLA (-5), and Iowa (-1). I see before me a team that has no heart. They showed some effort early against OSU before rolling over in the second half and lost by 24. Personally I think we are better than OSU. I'm just not sure how much better but 5 sounds about right. BTW I expect Penn State to win their last three games against the bottom feeders in the conference and thus end with 6 wins and a bowl game - if anyone wants them. Indiana 6 TDs = 42 Total = 42 Penn St 1 TD = 7 2 FG = 6 Total = 13

I really have no idea but this feels like an exhibition game. Alabama A & M can't be as good as Baylor but is probably better than Marion. Hoosiers 91 Those other guys 60

This is actually only our third away game of the year. The first two were Iowa and Oregon. Three of the last four are on the road. We have struggled to score 30 away from home so that could make this an interesting contest. Trusting our defense to help the offense Saturday. Indiana 6 TDs = 42 1FG = 3 Total = 45 Maryland 1 TD = 7 2 FGs = 6 Total = 13

Been worried about this game since UCLA knocked off Penn St. Yes, I know, Penn St hasn't won since. However, UCLA can be surprising if they have a lead. Just a bit nervous since so many ranked teams have been getting knocked off. At least this game is at home. Hoosiers 5 TDs = 35 1 FG = 3 Total = 38 UCLA 2 TDs = 14 1 FG = 3 Total =17

While 13 members were throwing trash at their TVs when Michigan State kicked a meaningless field goal in the final moments, I was on my knees in front of the TV praying. That was followed by yelling and dancing around the room. My wife wanted to know if I bet on the game. I said, "NO", then she wanted to know why was I so excited. I replied with a big grin, "I got a 25 point bonus." She looked at me like I had lost my mind. Some things you just can't explain.
