Our IU Walking Wounded (13-6, 3-3 Big Ten) vs. Michigan State (12-7, 4-2 Big Ten).   The phrase 'next man up' starts to take on a whole new meaning for our Hoosiers.  Will today be the barometer game for the rest of this season?

I'm excited for this one! I finally have good seats. I'm worried about attendance though. A sunny 60 degree day after a week and a half of rain should make for a lot of day drinking.. Just need to get the students to stumble their way over to Assembly Hall afterwards.

First time I've been off campus for a while, but I'd have to imagine there won't be much buzz around the team right now. Hopefully they still decide to show up

Yeah the IU accounts have been begging the students to show up all week. Not gonna happen. Be lucky to fill up GA let alone the balcony.

I haven't noticed much hype for it at all. Way more buzz for breakfast club this morning than the game.

My concern is who guards Bridges? This could be a real frustrating game to watch.

Man no kidding, I've never seen so many corny hype videos for our home-court advantage from the official IU Basketball Facebook page ever haha.

So is it confirmed that Morgan isn't playing today?

BTN has said that Morgan will be unavailable. So there's that.

Let him get his and hope we can stop everyone else? Looking at the guys we have available I see no one capable of checking him. 

[Hovadipo 56,456]

Wonder if we go zone? Idk about MSU's shooting numbers but it doesn't seem like a good shooting team.

This is my thought, as well.

So put JBJ on Bridges and then matchup from their?

Who gets the nod to start at the 4, McSwain or McRoberts?

Everything about your post is so depressing man haha. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,472]

McRoberts probably gets the nod. What a bad matchup.

Either zone them or matchup zone.

Doesn't this seem a little strange?

Just passed OG Anunoby in the hallway, so he is in the building. No brace, no crutches. You wouldn't know he was injured.

So these refs in the Louisville-FSU game are calling fouls on everything. Their game is gonna go well past 4 at this point. Great
