Huge news, Grandison is not dressed 

Don't usually like benefiting from injuries but in this case we need to win and IL is comfortably in, so I'm happy to hear this

It has been 20 years since the 9 seed beat the 1 seed. 

Let's end that streak while we are at it!

Trayce looks like he’s AWAKE this morning!
Huge positive!

Wish I was there but I’ll do my share of yelling in abstentia.

if you are fortunate enough to be there cheer and yes, yell for me we need the 6th man!!

[Hovadipo 61,336]

Who is the guy on the far right in the pregame show? He looks and is dressed like a cartoon movie villain.

Wow….hate to say it but I think IU fans are outnumbered at the moment.

Somehow (and I have no idea why) the normal starters strikes me as appropriate today. 

• Kopp was excellent yesterday - he's a given. I like Gallo off the bench and as a game finisher.
• Not sure where Jordan G would fit into the starting lineup. 
• It's damn good to know that Phin, Gallo, and Joran have all five positions covered as the first three off the bench.

Go Indiana!

Concern though is the normal starters getting us into a hole because the Kopp-Stew combo can't defend well enough, and offensively there's just not enough movement for the shooters to shoot. Hope though TJD comes out fully engaged and they hold serve until Galloway, Geronimo and Rob get in and going

[Banksyrules 5,332]

In typical fashion  Stewart plays questionable defense. 

[Hovadipo 61,336]

Race's selfish back-to-the-basket game is infuriating. He's so, so bad at it.

[LamarCheeks 22,032]

Nothing wrong with kicking it back out, Race! Don't need to force things ... 

[RoadRage 3,012]

Cockburn looks to be about 38 years old....

[Hovadipo 61,336]

Parker getting absolutely cooked by Plummer. Drink.

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

Not a bad start, good e and e the first 5 minutes. TJD actually ran down that rebound with a Cockburn on his hip.

[RoadRage 3,012]

I like what I see....so far!

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

Also, pretty incredible to watch the different with Race and Trayce go up instead of sideways with their post moves. We still need to stop fading and go towards the rim for and 1s.
