We are actually running out of places to eat when we are there.   Seems like we have almost eat at every place lol.   Still get our donuts after the 2nd game of the first night.   Open 24 hr donuts shops rule 

Bill's Donuts: Bill's Donut Shop - Open 24 Hours | 7 Days a Week

If you like sandwiches and a deli with an eastern Europe flavor: Charlie's Imports.  Charlie's Deli & Catering

   They sell paprika by the kilo.  I kid you not.  Walk through the bread refrigerator.  Do you like carryout sandwiches that are a little out of the ordinary?

Dayton has an ethnic Eastern European history.  They have a Polish Country Club...it is not known by that name. It is definitely not upscale.  

Amber Rose Restaurant  I have mixed feelings about this place...I am not the biggest fan of the fare.

Be sure to get a reservation if going to Mama DiSalvo's.  

Another Italian restaurant on 5th street is Jimmy's.  But take someone else's bank account.  It is way too pricey.  It is in the previous Franco's location.

That sounds right at this point. If the team finishes strong (it's an 'if') we should be in imo

Oregon at Oregon will be a tough one.

I usually pull up the games on my dual monitors and watch 4 at the same time.

1 of my favorite follows for the replies when some people start getting a little nasty because they don’t know they’re bitching at teenagers.

And the tweet is correct IMO -- IU is among the last teams fighting for the last spots.  That said, I don't know if I put Xavier in the group of four he mentioned.  They've rattled off four straight but that was against the worst four teams in the Big East.  Xavier has exactly one quad one win.

Thank you, I've got a new desktop background for the next 2+ weeks

Bubble teams Georgia and cincy with q1 wins tonight

[Uspshoosier 50,658]

Nice resume home Q2 win.   All resume wins don’t need to be against tourney quality teams.   Now you hope Penn St wins a couple of their last games so that road win stays Q1 and this stays Q2.   
 

Sos-26

non con sos-160

Q1- 4-11

Q2- 4-0

Q3- 5-0 

8-11 against the top 2 Quads and now 13-11 against the top 3 Quads.   You want to be .500 or above against the top 3 Quads if you are a bubble team.  I personally haven’t seen a bubble team get an at-large that wasn’t 

Need to win out and win a game in the B1G tourney so I don’t have to watch them in Dayton.

With this resume I think 3 more wins and they are in. 4 wins they are the first 10 seed.

They are in with 2 more wins.   They are either going to win 2 road games as their 2 with one being against a tourney team or they are going to win a home game against another bubble team and a road win.   2 wins and they are in Dayton but might get bumped by bid stealers depending on what they do in the B1G tourney.  As always it’s will also depend on what the bottom of the bubble looks like

There is a chance that the Ohio State/IU game to conclude the season will elevate one team in and move one team out.

Been there and done that in Archie’s 2nd year lol.  Hopefully he goes better for IU if it happens again
