IUBB vs Ohio State - Saturday, 1/28/23 @ 8:00 on Fox

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,086]

Let's get the next game thread up and running and put last night's nightmare in the garbage can.  The Buckeyes (11-9) (3-6) certainly not having a year most expected but we can't get caught with our pants down and lose a home game.

much, much more talented than Minnesota.  Equally talented to Illinois in my estimation.  Sensabaugh drives the car.  They have other nice pieces.  They aren't playing well at all but the are dangerous and probably hungry.  We should win this one.  Home crowd should be great!  We don't have as obvious of matchup mismatches to take advantage of.  Excited for it.  We need it.

Next week is @ Maryland and home to Purdue.  Going to be a tough week.

A struggling but talented team desperately needing a win to save their season scares me, but the Hall will be rocking on a Saturday night.

I'm starting to get the itch to go to this game, but I have some money set aside for the upcoming John Mayer solo tour. On the other hand...

POR QUE NO LOS DOS

Sensabaugh will be tough to guard, Zed Key will be banged up all over, McNeil can shoot it, Thornton isn’t that bad, Likekele has shown some spurts

Comparison of John Mayer vs entire IU basketball team:

More tattoos? Mayer

More under 21 girlfriends? Mayer

Ability to hold a guy named Mayer scoreless? IUBB

Makes people weep with emotion? IUBB

Moves “Swiftly”? Both

Not bad! Although, Mayer has one arm inked and JHS has both.

I'll add:

A 100% guarantee of having a good time for a couple hours? Mayer.

I've never seen him by himself just with the Dead but he's phenomenal. Would love to see his solo tour. I saw that he's not coming to Indiana so where is the closest place?

I'm planning on going to St. Louis. Chicago as a backup option and Nashville a distant third. He's great with his band, but his solo shows are something else.

He can play. And I'm not talking about the ol "Tamar Bates every other time" situation.

Bounce back game for role players, specifically guards. Bates and Galloway are just better @ home which is not abnormal for role players. I like our chances in this one. TJD put on a show against them last year so that sets him up for a 50/30/15/10 stat line Saturday. Seriously though I think everything aligns itself (night home game, TJD, struggling OSU) for a good win.

Key has been banged up so Trayce should be able to get after him

And their backup C was seen in a boot during their Media stuff either yesterday or Today

This will be a close game in my opinion, OSU can get streaky fast

I have a great court-level baseline bleacher seat and parking pass needing an IU fan to fill it.  

I'd need 2 and further I have a feeling a seat that good would blow up my Mayer budget!
