Indiana loses the first round game to Michigan by a score of 87-86 in triple overtime with a half-court heave at the end of regulation by Ian Burns and Indiana’s March Madness hopes vanish.

Purdue wins the B10 tournament and is granted a #1 seed. They then lose to UMBC in the first-round with a UMBC-like thumping comparable to the one against Virginia in 2018. Some Indiana fans try to find solace in this to get them through the long offseason, while others throw their hands up with a loss of hope that Woody will ever get Indiana back to prominence. 

I chug a six-pack of 450 Nugs and try to remember the long-lost days of believing Indiana is the team to beat on any given night. 

If I'm going to try and hot-tub-time-machine my mind back to the 80s and early 90s, I should probably drink Natural Lite and try to recall the beer bonging I did at Walnut Knolls with some of the 89-90 team. Anderson could consume, along with the Grahams and Nover lol..

I believe we need 2 games to get in. If we’re going to win 2, might as well win the damn thing!

I remember watching a Sunday noon game with my family around 91-92 when my brother walks into the room from a drunken Saturday night. He goes I can't believe those guys are playing that well, I was drinking with them at Sports till about 2 AM last night.

Is it possible to hate ticketmaster more? I had a panic attack last night b/c the tickets that were transferred to me were nowhere to be found in my ticketmaster account. I got all the confirmations that they were transferred, accepted them, etc. But again, no where to be found in my ticketmaster account. I had to dig and do my own internet sleuthing b/c there were no clear instructions that I needed the Indiana Pacers app to access these tickets. How do I login to the Indiana Pacers app? Yeah, with my ticketmaster account info. Not available on the ticketmaster app, only available in the Pacers app under "My Tickets powered by Ticketmaster". It makes total sense.

To answer your first question: No. That is not possible.

Regarding everything else, that's insanity. Get there early tomorrow because entrances are going to be a mess if that's how they're doing things. I don't even need the Pacers app to get into Pacers games with Ticketmaster tickets lol.

Maybe I bought on StubHub from a pacers season ticket holder who bought their BTT tickets through some pacers offer or something like that. I don’t know. I can’t go tomorrow so hopefully they work out whatever kinks then. Getting there early Thursday is a tall task for me.

The good old days lol... In my days down there, most tried to be pretty moderate the night before. Not saying they didn't drink, they just didn't pound like they normally would. When they got a rest day though from practice, they were pounding the night before. It's college though.

Apparently Brad Underwood gets a $15k bonus for each time his Illini beat Missouri or Indiana.

Nah.  I got tickets through IU and had to have the Pacers app to accept them.  Like your experience, they do not show up in my Ticketmaster account.  Had the same experience last year so wasn't quite as panicked this year.  Just access them through the Pacers app if you need to transfer them and make sure to have them downloaded to your phone via Google Pay (Android) or Apple Wallet (IOS) so that you're not relying on wifi signal when you try to open your tickets at the gate.

Anyone know if Kilroy's will be opening early for the game tomorrow? Website says 11 am, but they open at 10 am for Crossroads... might need a Bloody Mary or two beforehand... if not, any other recommendations near the Fieldhouse?

ESPN talking heads were discussing Lunardi's latest bracket (which has us in first four out)

"Indiana's gonna play Michigan. Michigan's a team that's been up and down. I could see Indiana winning that game. It's in Indianapolis. Close to home ..." 

Guess they haven't seen our B1G tourney record ...

[vemmeistars 202]

Was that bracket before or after Xavier/WF losses?

[IUc2016 7,121]

Northwestern takes game 1 

71-69

They play Iowa tomorrow

A game.
Baby steps my friend.

First day was great!

Iowa 64-31 over NW at halftime. 

11 3s for the Hawkeyes. Except for that season-finale loss at Illinois, those dudes have been on a roll.
