Big game. Archie better have them prepared

[Bobman1]

Last year’s games against Michigan aren’t making me very confident about this one but hopefully the Hoosiers can carry some of Thursday’s magic and take advantage of some matchups.

If his body can handle it he needs to play 25+ minutes a game. He’s the only guy we have with length that can stretch the floor

Don't get how Smith can make a nice drive like that and ... then miss everything! He's 6 feet from the bucket and doesn't even hit the rim .. Puzzling. 

[Hoosier Guy]

I really don’t like how Smith plays basketball
