Lol, no.  But damn if they didn't try!

I was honestly going to @ you after the loss and ask you if you placed it. 

This was just as good haha

[Hovadipo]

Start Geronimo.

Leave Parker at the Marriott.

Profit.

Just an FYI that crowd won't be all IU fans tomorrow. It was today basically, but Illinois will travel well and are close by so it will be 80-20 IU.
 

Will be very similar to what the women's big ten championship was. Was 95-5 IU for first three days than Iowa was 80-20. This will be enough for a somewhat neutral atmosphere like IU-Iowa was. Get to Saturday against Iowa or Rutgers and you are back at 95-5.

I've been around a bunch of Wisconsin fans and they seem pretty cool for beer and cheese reasons. Some of their players on the other hand...

Wisconsin always has a player that seems like he's been there forever.  I think Davidson was playing for them when I was at IU, 17 years ago.

True. Their ratio of solid fans to ****** bag players is sky high.

Yes, I know lots of Wisconsin fans and they’re almost all wonderful and fun. Their team, however? The pits.

[Hoosier Guy]

That win today could be the catalyst for a run. IU is going to win this tournament at some point. Make it this year

[IU_FanClub]

This is a game I’m interested in seeing. They killed us last time but I’m wondering if Coach Woodson is going to instruct TJD to post up on Cockburn. I hope not.  I think he needs to attack (through screens or slashes) face up.

I get a very Connecticut womens team fan feel from them.  Average age of 65 or so. And can’t tell if their is Jasper or Gertrude.

We opened as a 3.5-point dog vs. Illinois, o/u 137.  Pomeroy puts it at 4 & gives the Hoosiers a 37% chance of victory.  Torvik puts it at 2 & gives IU a 41% chance of victory.

I will take a 40% chance of victory when you are talking 9 seed vs 1 seed.

we played a really poorly strategized game last time, I hope we can make the right adjustments.
