Penn State curb stomped Hoosiers in January.  Northwestern beat IU twice by a total of three points, with the aid of two bogus bench techs and a Bouie push-off.  I think I would have preferred Maryland > Northwestern.

Yea, but we weren’t trying…

Big IU contingent?

This is between games so it will fill in some but attendance is down for a Friday night.  Maryland crown is nonexistent.  Only fans that would be rooting for them would be from other schools but without Illinois already out and not much Purdue garb, it will be heavy IU.  The traveling party of fans for Penn State has also exited.

Win tonight and we can start thinking about another matchup with Purdue Sunday.

Would like to win tonight because you would think there will be a contingency bracket with IU as a 3 seed assuming the Hoosiers beat Purdue three times in one season.

Yikes, not a good look for the conference. 

B1G probably hoping IU and its fanbase sticks around through Sunday.

Only session that was mostly full was when Illinois played.  Filled up decently this morning at the end of the Purdue game when both Purdue and Michigan st fans were here.  But there are teams that simply don’t travel well.

next year in Minneapolis will be much much worse.

There is just no comparison between accessibility to United Center and Gainbridge. That’s the biggest attendance issue to me. UC is a very nice arena, but you’re pretty close to a bad part of town, pretty far away from The Loop, and there’s nothing to do in walking distance of the arena. Indy makes that weekend a full basketball/B1G festival and every single thing is no further than a 10 minute walk.

That was between games when everyone was up walking around and going to concessions and bathroom. It’s way more filled in then that

Go IU!!

This tournament is setting up nicely for the Hoosiers, but you have to get past Maryland to advance!

[Josh 12,639]

Race Tjompson point guarding us through the press

[RoadRage 1,842]

If Kopp is on....we got a good chance!

[Hovadipo 56,125]

If we shoot this percentage I bet we win.
