Picked up decent seats for cheap to this one! Section B, row 31 for $14. Didn’t realize it wasn’t televised, glad I got tickets.

We were planning to go to this game but the high school football team decided to make it to state tomorrow so we are going to Lucas Oil. Go Trojans. I will still watch on BTN+

Yeah, I bought some seats on the floor for $30 a ticket. The wooden bleachers aren’t nearly as nice to sit on but my son is pretty excited to be that close to the action.

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?
