IUBB @ Rutgers - Saturday, 12/3/22 @ 4:00 on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

If Crean or Archie were still in charge I'd be extremely worried about an emotional letdown in the team and getting waxed but I think Woody knows how to make sure that doesn't happen.  Keep it rollin' Hoosiers!

Crean, I'd agree.  Would we have to worry about an emotional let down with Miller?  They'd probably be pretty down after UNC ran them out of the gym.

Geo Baker and Ron Harper Jr. always seemed to have the magic touch when they played IU....they are gone!!!

Tremendous amount of respect for Steve Pikiell and the way his teams play. As long as he is there I will always worry about playing Rutgers. That said it's about time to win in the RAC again. Big 1st game as starting 0-1 would suck.

Based off of Wednesday's presser it sounds very iffy for Mulcahy at best. This is now the time when I'm completely fine with catching a break on player availability. That said I expect a medical miracle to take place and Mulcahy will start Saturday.

They'd be better with Mulcahy, but there will be some rust with a pg that hasn't played in awhile even if he gives it a go.

I was going to say something similar, now I don't have to.

I'd be more worried about losing by 20 to Rutgers after losing by 30 to UNC if Miller were still the coach.

Yeah, Rutgers has seemed to be pretty tough for us so I don't expect an easy ge especially not in NJ.

A medical miracle is probably what it would take, because I read a report that as of Wednesday, he hadn't even returned to practice yet.

IU's social media page gave us a look into the locker room after the UNC win. He made it very clear to the team to stay humble and asked multiple times who they had next. I think even Trayce said on to the next one.

100% thank goodness. I know Baker was on the Field of 68 and said something like "nobody in the Big Ten is afraid of Indiana". That was true the last 5 years...not now. I don't think our guys took that comment lightly.

Probably true the better part of the last 20 years, but especially the last 5.

For sure. However, if it was a Michigan or Purdue player saying it I wouldn't mind. But Geo Baker won one NCAA tournament game at Rutgers..good for their sorry a** program. But nobody was afraid of Rutgers either lol.

Yeah, it's bad coming from Rutgers of all places.  Teams were probably more afraid of having to actually go to New Jersey than of playing Rutgers lol.

Big talk for a guy that brings this to mind every time I hear his name.

Indiana is a 3.5-point favorite (O/U 134) for Saturday’s game.

Brandon Gaudin, Robbie Hummel, and Andy Katz are on the call.

Total tone setter for the B10 season if we can get a roadie here. 

IMO, Woodie, and TJD, aren't playing this year.
