Josh Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 My wife said we have to spend time with our daughter doing Christmas stuff. There's only time for one game. The football game or the basketball game. So good luck basketball Hoosiers, it's a football day! Ranger78, Class of '66 Old Fart and mamasa 3 Quote
ray Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Does anyone know when the game will be televised on BTN so Hoosier fans not attending the game and who are unwilling to pay the b.s. additional cost for the "plus" version can watch? Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 And Rob misses yet another game. Indiana sophomore guard Rob Phinisee is not in uniform for today’s game against South Dakota State. This will be his third missed game of the season. mamasa 1 Quote
