Rutgers and Minn have already built a couple of homes with these bricks they’re laying

I hope the winner of this Rutgers/Minny game plays this poorly tomorrow against us, however i expect the opposite to happen.

Actually, I was hoping they would have to battle each other to the point of exhaustion . Maybe an overtime or two. Wear'em down.

Agreed come on how about a 7 OT game. Come on refs make it happen

Minny - 8 minutes, no made baskets, only down 2...what?

[hoosierdogg 3,215]

It will be very disappointing if Indiana struggles against either one of these teams.  This is hard to watch. 

[HoosierSadaseci 2,258]

The thing is the winner will have their tournament jitters out of them, we will have some.

I think I'd rather face Rutgers than Minny, Sanders is the only one who concerns me for the Knights, while both Murphy and Mason concern me for the Gophers.

I believe RoJo on Mason would take of that but Murphy could be a matchup problem.

Bardo said IU could be a surprise team in the BTT...we have always stunk it up in the BTT, but maybe with a different venue things will be different for us!

We've struggled against bad teams all year. I don't expect tomorrow night to be any different.

And having a different coach will hopefully help.

Not against these two teams.  Beat both by 20+ points, including at Rutgers.  Did have a game against Minny early in conference at the Barn when they had a full roster, but this is not the same Gopher team.  Shouldn't be a struggle....but this is the BTT, history not on Hoosiers' side.

At the Barn they were playing without Coffey and lynch as well

My bad, forgot that. Still it was at the Barn, a horrid place to play basketball.  Hoosiers are playing much better now than then, while Minny has been in a downward spiral, losing 9 of their last 10.

We have most certainly NOT struggled against bad teams in B1G play. Against the bottom five in the B1G we are 7-1.

Looking like this game is going to go down to the wire. 

[HoosierSadaseci 2,258]

Sanders is filling it up, scary.

[cbp4iu 1,634]

Bring on the Scarlett Knights

[theriverpilot 5,632]

Hopefully Sanders used up all of his mojo tonight. Regardless, IU should take care of business

Starting to wonder what B1G teams will have coaching vacancies after this season.  

MSU?  I think Izzo survives the year.

Minnesota?  Pitino could very well be on the hot seat but he probably gets another year.

Maryland?  Most likely vacancy in the B1G.  Turgeon hasn't done anything lately, and will miss the tournament as one of the worst B1G teams.
