I like the "draw" for IU. I think they could beat Maryland as they are different away from home. Would also be nice to have Northwestern on Saturday. If I had to pick, I'm going Michigan State over Illinois. I think the Illini take us down and get revenge. Hope I'm wrong.

I’m predicting an IU lose in there first game because I am hardly ever right.

Lets win the damn thing. Should have a good showing of fans the entire weekend to support the guys. Let's go get that title. Hoo Hoo Hoo

Going to be a long week. Can't wait for Friday night!

I got a feeling Michigan state will win it all, but whoever wins the penn state vs Illinois will be a dog to deal with the rest of the way. Indiana has a great draw but I’m not confident if we play Maryland

The only sure thing in this year's BTT is Minnesota...and not in a good way.

Last year Woodson got a bit of a redemption tour in the tourney. So let’s continue on that trend. Let’s beat whoever on Friday. Beat Northwestern then Iowa for the whole kit and kaboodle

I need to see if we win before I get behind this. Otherwise, I'm happy we lost so we can get some rest.

If we do this correctly we can add several more Q1 wins to our resume.

- We destroy Maryland (Q1)
- Illinois destroys Penn State then Northwestern, we barely beat Illinois (Q1 win, along with home win moving to Q1)
- Michigan State destroys Iowa then beats purdoodoo then we beat them in the finals (Q1 win, along with home win moving to Q1)

Winning 3 games provides 5 additional Q1 wins. Hoosiers!

Nebraska is playing very well right now. They beat Iowa--something IU hasn't done in a while. I wouldn't be surprised if Nebraska beats a Maryland team that struggles to win away from College Park.

Maryland as a road team, with Kevin Willard coaching? 

Sign. Me. Up.

That was also the start of JG's growth in minutes and production, good game against UM, then I think he was injured in the next game, missed a game and then showed up in the ncaa tourney. Hope we see him return and get himself going again, need more production, experience and versatility, athleticism up front

Gonna be a long weekend indeed! Friday night game, son shoots in the state archery tourney Saturday Morning, game 2 Saturday afternoon (likely when I am driving home), girl scouts Sunday... I thought weekends were supposed to be relaxing, lol.

Make sure to have your meds on hand for the whole weekend :-)

Already ready for more IUBB.

 

But, we haven’t looked good since @Purdue.  
 

I’d normally feel great about Maryland.  I still feel pretty good but I’m not sure how engaged IU will be.  If this team truly locks in on the D end for 40 minutes we can beat anyone.  Offense is still mostly a struggle besides TJD.

I'll take the long week. The team needs rest! Let's win this thing!! Would kind of make up for not winning the regular season title.
