Game Thread: Indiana Hoosiers vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers

[IUc2016 7,121]

When: 7 p.m.

TV: BTN

Indiana Hoosiers: 18-11 (8-10)

Minnesota Golden Gophers: 13-15 (7-11)

This game is huge. Many feel that IU can solidify its NCAA bid with a win tonight regardless of what happens against Wisconsin or the BIG Tourney. This is probably the biggest game of Archie's tenure at IU as it is at home against a quality opponent with a chance to punch a ticket to the NCAA, lose it and this Saturday will most definitely be the biggest of Archie's tenure (both bigger than Ohio State last year).

Minnesota is a Quad 2 opponent and Archie has not done well the past few years against Quad 2 opponents at home. He is 0-2 this year (Iowa was Quad 1 when we played). Last year he didn't fare very well losing to both Ohio State and Iowa at home that most likely kept the team out of the tournament. Here's to hoping that tonight is a night Hoosier Nation can celebrate, we deserve it. GO HOOSIERS!

I'm confident about this one.  That's rare for me.  Let's put on a show, Hoosiers!

[rcbowla 7,092]

I am also confident about this one. However, I am not in any way confident about Wis so if this one goes badly ruh roh.

We played well Sunday, just fell short. I didn’t even think we would have a chance there. So that is a good sign to me! Just have to play well here on out. No more Purdue games!

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

I’m confident about both of these home games. Bottle the intensity, effort and play from Sunday. IU can beat any team if they just play to win

Yeah, I'm not confident either. We haven't shown that we are a very mentally resilient team, so I'm concerned that since we beat them there, we will come in with the wrong mindset. Plus, they may think they are playing for their coach's job. And then, I look at yesterday's game results...

[coonhounds 8,899]

Hope we can win.

That's all we can do haha. Since I haven't picked up a basketball in years, I can only sit and listen to Don Fischer and hope that we don't get embarrassed on our home floor. Such is the life of a basketball fan.

[Hovadipo 55,893]

We’re going to win by a lot. TJD steals another day’s worth of lunch money from Oturu and Devonte has one of those nights.

I hope by "one of those nights" you mean 5 or 6 3-pointers, 3-4 assists, only 1-2 turnovers and 25-27 points. 

Not 1 for 7 on 3s, 6 turnovers, 0 assists and 7 points.

LOL!

IU down to -3.5, was -4.5 this morning

[Ryno6284 2,644]

Is TJD hurt? Somebody said that at work yesterday. I can’t find anything on it though.

He sprained his ankle in the Purdue game but was able to play at Illinois.
