Let's kick their tails. I feel like we could win close or comfortably. Or lose close. But I don't think we'll get blown out. Still learning so much about this team. Most interested in seeing how Bailey and Alexis do. And what Miles/Sisley can do. Will Dorn be available? Probably not, but I'd sure like to see it.

The United Center, lol On a more serious note... I think the best bet is probably a free trial for one of the ESPN subscriptions to watch today.

Yep. Every game this team has played they've either won in a blowout against lesser competition or gone right down to the wire (Baylor, Mega SuperBet)... I'd (obviously) like to see them win by a comfortable margin against solid competition. Can't wait for tip off.

IU 82 Marquette 77

That was the happiest I've ever seen Cig.

Feels worth mentioning Oakland was down 2 starters in their Purdue game

Three D2 teams have beaten D1 opponents this season. Those 3 D2 teams have combined for 1 D2 tournament appearance all time (they're really, really bad). Hawaii Pacific (qualified in 2017) beat Boise State by 1. Northwood beat WMU by 4 Wilmington beat Delaware by 9. Wild stuff!

Anybody know when the team is arriving to Chicago?

The good news is... we can watch from afar and see how he does at Texas A&M this year. I am willing to bet he performs quite well for Bucky.

I very much disagree with the "toxic" narrative about MM. Agree on everything else. I think they'd all do better with a real coach. So we will just get more evidence throughout the year exactly how awful Mike Woodson was. Thank goodness he is gone!

We'd be really scary if this team could've retained Tucker, Mgbako and Reneau IMO. Just as happy with a fresh start. But we're gonna see a lot of these kinds of performances from ex IU players this season. Good for them.

Us 85 Them 73

Totally agree with you there. Wasn't sure what to make of Miles after the scrimmages. Didn't know if there'd be minutes for him once some of the injured guys are back. Yesterday you could see it starting to click a little more as the game went on. The bench unit will be a lot stronger if DDV can get the best out of Miles this year and Dorn comes back healthy (maybe Enright moves to 6th man? I kinda think not be depends how good Dorn is, I guess). Really want to see Harris too, but don't think that's on the table before December.

Laughing my *** off watching this game back and seeing Wilkerson firing off Trae Young kinda 3s then Conerway throwing it off the backboard to Bailey... We'll see how challenging the Big Ten is, not sure how the roster will match up vs. some... but this team is really fun. And I think could really surprise some people. 3 days til Marquette

Kinda cool the active leading scorer in D1 plays for Indiana.

They are currently beating Southern 89-75. Southern is 176 in KenPom. AAM is 318. Can't wait to root for a Hoosier win in Chicago.

On pace for a 116-44 finish. Stay healthy and bring on Marquette. But... first... we can enjoy this cathartic butt kicking for another half.

In one of the offseason interviews on Field of 68, Dauster said Sam Alexis was his dark horse pick for this team's X-factor. He may have been right about that.

Every time Wilkerson touches the ball past half court this season, the stadium is going to start ooo-ing and ahh-ing

It's been 10 years since Indiana could consistently make FTs........

Gotta avoid foul trouble against Marquette

I think it would be way more than 10 :)

How refreshing seeing a team that's genuinely excited to get the Assembly Hall crowd on their feet. And a staff that's on their feet being active coaches.

I uhhhh really like watching Tayton Conerway play basketball
