Oh have I been waiting for this one since this was announced and the fact that I will be in person for the evening makes this all the more interesting.

I'm thinking about going. Lots of tickets being sold on the secondary market, not for bad prices either.

If this was a Crean coached team I would feel more confident here. The only thing I ever felt confident about with Crean was beating ranked teams at assembly hall.

Let's see if Archie can do the same.

Looks like on VividSeats there are no balcony only lower level and that is only one. It is Lower Level A Row 43 listed at $306.00 each. Might also check to see what StubHub has or SeatGeek.

Somehow that was a Crean forte. We need to be realistic tonight. It's not apples to apples like the Crean teams the past 3-4 years.

Truth. He'd beat the elite teams, but we would have lost to USF and Eastern Michigan.

Then he'd follow it up with a loss to Eastern Washington in Assembly Hall.

We're not as good at shooting 3s as in the past 6 years, but i could see RoJo, Newkirk and Hartman combining for 12+ in a game, with a little help from another player or two. Question is, could they do it tonight?

Honestly though, a low turnover percentage (that results in single digit TOs) and continued improvement of the defense could mean more than a barrage from deep.

Putting all 3, or maybe even just 2/3 together with a rockin' Assembly Hall gives IU a chance. I'm super excited for this game, and would love to see our guys show up and not be let down with a blowout.

With Archie, who has reached an Elite 8 with Dayton and won a tournament game without a player over 6'6", I still can see this year's team really improving. I would love for the turnaround to start tonight.

Anyone read Duke boards or know how Duke fans are feeling about this one? I gotta imagine they're uncomfortably optimistic, and I bet the team feels that way too. On the other hand, Indiana has nothing to lose. I like our chances.

Managed to find this on Twitter.

Unfortunately there is a better chance of Matt Lauer hosting the Today show tomorrow morning than of us winning tonight.

Actually, Matt Lauer has a 0% chance, and we have around 30-50% according to odds makers.
