IUBB vs Michigan State - Sunday, 1/22/23 @ Noon on CBS

[rcbowla 8,278]

Feels like it hasn’t been brought up, because Purdue has some good early season wins - but should be noted that 4 of their 7 B1G wins have come against Nebraska and Minnesota. Not saying they aren’t the best team in the conference, but they have played a soft schedule and have two 1-point wins against OSU and MSU. Things could get tight at top real quick. 

Nebraska went to OT as well. So they've been tested with the "softer" schedule.

Yeah, the more I look at PU’s schedule, the more I think they’re possibly really overrated. They rose to the top ten after wins over WVU, Gonzaga, Duke and FSU.

WVU is currently 1-6 in the Big 12. Gonzaga just lost to Loyola Marymount at home, and their “big early season wins” over Kentucky and Mich. St. don’t look as impressive. Duke is now an unranked, middle of the ACC team. FSU is 7-13. So really, they’ve stayed in the top 5 in the country mostly by default because they got there and then played the bottom three teams in the B1G in 5 of their first 8 games in conference.

The unbalanced conference schedule is making them look better than they are in my opinion.

Huge game. This is a chance for IU to finally step up after a big road win. We’ve seen multiple times before where IU wins a big road game and then lays an egg at home. Need to change that narrative today

I would think “headband on” means he’s available.

Good stuff—keep healing Xavier.

What fun to watch the B1G Network Indiana vs MSU OT classic game of 2000 this morning. For the life of me I didn’t remember some of the names from that team..….. Richardson, Washington, Jimenez.

A. J. Guyton = Phenomenal!!

He’s been participating in practice in a limited capacity. I’d think this is equivalent to “getting shots up while wearing the boot” that X has been seen doing. He’s close, it was never season ending, but today would surprise me.

Have to give credit where it's due. Saw on a MSU board where guy says "forks down" in reference to beating us. Hadn't heard that one and thought it was clever.

That was a fun one to be at along with the Haston buzzer beater in 2001. Damn Larry must've averaged 10 fouls/40 minutes that year.

I know Race will tell you he’s a go. He WANTS to play. If nothing else, a little gamesmanship by Woody to give the MSU locker room a last-minute wrinkle to throw into their game plan??

[Hovadipo 61,481]

I obviously know very little about the situation, but I don’t believe Race at anything less than 100% healthy helps us much.

Color me pleasantly surprised! Personally would like to see him eased back into the fold coming off the bench. But Woody loves him some upperclassmen.

How cute of him not to out his daughter as his source

I'm not a doctor although I "did my research". We should take some quick healing stem cells out of Race's knee and inject them into Xavier's foot.
