For the mental health of the majority of posters on this board? Yes. 

 

For our postseason chances? No. 

[Indiana muskie]

Nope not a must but a need. Must would define it's self as a must. This is not a must win . Lose this still in plenty good shape to make tourney. A must win is lose and your out in my view.

[vemmeistars]

Anybody else hear a rumor about several players being suspended for tonight's game?

No. An interesting first post on the board.  What are you basing your question on?

We heard something similar several games ago about suspensions that was false.

Ah, good old Crook County IL.  Why I am staying home and watching from the comfort of my couch.  

In spite of “crook” it’s a sellout :)

Ha, that’s true about the mental health of the board but when you look at the upcoming games this is an awfully important game to get a W.

I really can't get into the we can lose this game and still make it view. Because obviously every season no game is must win until big 10 tourney. We basically can lose every single game and then win the 4 or 5 must win games and then we're in the tournament. So I don't get hung up on the must part. Tonight is a dang important game that simple

For emotionally  invested fans probably.  Every game against a team people think are lower on the totem pole is a must win 

From an outside perspective not even close to being a must win.    IU could win this “must win” game and go on to lose the next 7 so winning the must win game wouldn’t of  mattered.    IU could also lose this game and go on and win the next 7 and losing the must win game wouldn’t of mattered.   Having said all of that I had this game ranked high when I ranked the remaining games from most important to least important before the Penn St game While not a must win this a big opportunity for IU  to improve the resume

The day of the Notre Dame game, there was a rumor going around that 4 players were suspended. This crap is getting old, TBH.

Guy on Hoosier Sports nation said he was text by a friend that said 4 of our players are suspended for weed.  Won't say the names because if this is not true then that wouldn't be Fair.

Yep. I noticed that, too. Still, seems strange to post something like this ... unless you're a troll -- which they very possibly could be.

Not a legit account, definitely look at their tweets

I would love to see X play 40 tonight.  CMW is not going to go without a point guard and the thought of playing Lander after his last performance makes me for lack of a better word nervous.
