I know it's a little early for a Sunday game thread but just saw this and wanted to make sure it gets out.

IU will wear retro uniforms of the 1987 NCAA Champions against Michigan on Sunday, per release.

Oh I think our guys will be ready, wearing championship unis

Nervous about this one. There is a reason Michigan was ranked highly at the beginning of the year, they are talented. Just haven’t put it together to this point and they are young. 
 

Could be a huge letdown game after a huge win. Hopefully the guys are ready and understand the opportunity in front of them. Go Hoosiers!

[Brass Cannon]

Purdue was a statement to the fanbase but this game is important to make a statement to the college basketball world that our wins aren’t flukes
 

Win this and we get ranked. Having won 5 of the last 6

Really curious on what the modern take on these uniforms will look like. I’m guessing the rounded IU logo will make an appearance like it did on the football helmets last year.

I'm still holding out hope we have a home alternate jersey featuring the script Indiana across the chest.

I'd also love to see the script "Hoosiers" on the road jerseys.

Hoping we do not see a home court letdown after the big win. Everybody with a tongue has been in the team's ears about how great they are since Thursday, and much of the team including the biggest stars might believe they are greater than they actually are and think they don't have to try because of their undisputed greatness. I hope our guys can overcome the pride they well deserve after a big win, and put all the talk and adulation they have received in perspective. Much of this group has gone on long winless streaks every year they have played college basketball, and they have experienced many letdowns in their careers. I would love to see more and more improvement every game the way college basketball teams are supposed to improve over the course of a season. We have not really seen a lot of improvement in Indiana teams throughout the course of seasons in a long time. Indiana teams seem to have regressed through the course of seasons and underperformed for what seems like quite a long time now.

It would be great if the team comes out and plays as well as they can tomorrow.

If any of our current stars excluding x just because I don't know enough about his past hasn't had their butts kicked enough to last a lifetime I don't know what to say. I am sure they know by now if they don't come ready to play every game they can and probably will lose. They may lose but I don't think it will be because of over confidence imo

My biggest concern is these guys getting "too cool for school" after the big win. Acting too casual, like it is too cool to play with energy. Gotta come out and punch Michigan in the mouth and they'll give in quick.

That’s what Galloway and Geronimo are for.

This team needs to remember that Penn State loss.  Take nothing for granted in the conference.

[Five Prime]

Take pride in that Indiana writing across the chest and come out ready to play!

Trap game for sure, Michigan is such an desperate team right now. And with their talent they have, it makes them pretty scary

[OliviaPope40]

Wonder if anybody will wear the short shorts of that uniform 

[cthomas]

Everyone is on a high right now and deservedly so. The team faced extreme adversity and toughed out a much needed win. It will take every bit the same effort, focus, and intensity against Michigan. Let's not take a step back.

[HoosierHoopster]

We will get to the line against them, a real advantage - but need to convert, cant waste that advantage 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

IU opens as a 4-point favorite vs. Michigan, o/u 134.5. Pomeroy concurs & gives the Hoosiers a 64% chance of victory. Torvik puts it at 5 & gives the Hoosiers a 72% chance of victory.

Answer: the current unis with the rounded IU logo.
