I have a good feeling about tonight, or it's that McMuffin I ate this morning.

Win one this week and then sweep the remaining home games and this team is in really really good shape going into March.

Lets win this one tonight for the man that I was named after, he was an avid Hoosier fan and a long time season ticket holder for basketball and football. He lost his long battle with Type 1 diabetes this weekend.  I don't completely understand how he managed to live to 68 with only one functioning kidney (his sister donated that one 30 years ago), no feeling in his feet for the last 20 years, and was still able to farm 3,000 acres. He was absolutely one of the nicest people you would meet and he would drop everything to help someone else, if they were in need. The world is a lesser place without him here. Lets go Hoosiers!

I hope Bates gets his mojo back tonight, and Jeronimo too, gonna need them down the stretch.

It's Tamar's birthday so maybe that will help him with his mojo

Every morning? You spend your prep period on the toilet?

Yep, every morning.... lol

For me, I feel like Trayce is easily going to get his. I'm sure Jalen will have a typical game (make big plays, a few costly ones as well). Race Thompson has played two of his best games against Northwestern and Illinois (8/11 from the field. Was 8/26 since coming back).

This team needs consistency from the 2/3 spot. I think IU is very very hard to beat if two things happen:

1) Miller Kopp hits 2-3 three pointers. Last 5 times he has done that Indiana has won. It's what won them the Illinois game. Without him they don't make that run at the end of the game. 

2) Trey Galloway scores double figres. Have only lost once this year when that happened (Penn State).

Had my students do the TJD as part of scooter relays today in honor of game day!

Getting paid to take a Purdue. Big brain move.

Name, Image, and Likeness does actually imply that you can get paid just for letting people see what you look like.

Or saying their name. I bet Olivia pope goes bankrupt saying Galloway over and over and over.. :)

I'm thinking way ahead but getting two wins this week changes the trajectory this program is going in...in a good way. 

Edit: Not that it's in a bad place now..it's not. It just tells me that this team is the Best Team in the Big Ten and is ready for a deep run in March.

I think you can make the argument IU has been the best team in the B1G since January 1. 

This is another tough game to predict. IU is better, it's better inside with TJD, it's better from the perimeter, and our rebounding / D has been better though our D seems more a continuing work in progress. But the flip side is hard to ignore, we're not scoring like we were during that stretch run, we're of course worse on the road, we're back to starting slow, this is a big game for MSU after another loss on the road, MSU has been much better at home, there will almost certainly be some home-cooking officiating (and Izzo will whine away in their ears), and the MSU crowd and atmosphere, especially after the awful shootings, will be fully behind MSU. 

I can see IU winning by 2-4 points with TJD leading the way. I can see IU losing by 2-4, or worse. Coin toss, imo.

Bates and mojo in a road game might be a sign of a coming apocalypse.

Okay that second one better be right hopefully.
