BIG TEN/ACC CHALLENGE CENTRAL

 

 

OPENING TIP

Indiana University is in its 120th season of competition in men's basketball and will host #17/19 Florida State on Tuesday in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Hoosiers are coming off a 64-50 win over South Dakota State in the Indiana Challenge, while the Seminoles won the Emerald Coast Classic defeating Purdue in overtime in the championship game, 63-60 on Saturday. This is the 5th straight year and 7th in the last 8 challenges that IU has faced a ranked opponent.

 

A victory on Tuesday would give IU an 8-0 start for the first time since the 2012-13 season when they began the year 9-0. The Hoosiers just completed an undefeated month for the second time in two seasons (6-0, December, 2018).

My friend and I will be there tonight!

We usually get a six pack of upland and a small pizza from mother bears and eat from the parking lot to reenact a tailgate, but my friend is concerned about the cold and we may have to sit that tradition out this time. I am hoping I can convince him that some things, like traditions, are more important than feeling your fingers.

Go Hoosiers!

We need this one bad imo. First test and a home game will be awfully disheartening to lose

IU -2.5, 58.4% chance of winning. 139.5 is O/U.  

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,604]

This would be a huge win for Archie and this team. Really need this one as it'll likely be the only NCAA tourney team we play in the non conference and will easily be our biggest test to date.

[HoosierCoop 3,885]

We are pretty evenly matched.  It could be very tough for us if they make it a half court game.  Our guard play is key tonight.  If we hit shots, that should open up TJD.  If not, it could be a long night.

These next few are huge for us. I hate the ACC and all the love they get, hoping for an IU win and BIGTEN victory to shut up ESPN and others about how good the ACC is. It will be hard for them to make that argument if they lose to the Bigten

If Jerome Hunter wanted to have a breakout game tonight, that would be totally fine with me.

9pm start time - ugh!  The student section should be well hydrated and ready to rock by then I guess.  Hoping they show up loud and proud tonight!

Some great insight from Sam Story on tonight's game. 

tldr - if we score more points, we win!

I’ve run across a large handful of self-important people on the internet, but Sam is on a completely different planet. And people just keep feeding the beast.

Sam is a genius

If we pound it and chase it I like our chances. For some reason that made me laugh. I can’t say I fault the logic.

I'm excited to see us against a quality opponent to get a good basis of where we're at as a team. Hopefully TJD can keep it up as the competition stiffens. Any word on Phinisee's status?

With a fanbase our size, there will always be disagreements from within.  Luckily for us, we have Sam Story to unite us in one collective eye roll.

However, I didn't realize FSU is playing their third game in five days.  I don't know which way I'm leaning in prediction now.

[Napleshoosier 10,136]

Home court advantage plus rest and if Devonte goes off my score pick will be low.

Any chance Sam's lurkin' on this board somewhere? I talked sh!t about him a couple weeks ago on here and then very soon after got a Twitter follow request from him and I never post anything on there. It was weird...
