Mgbako scores 20.

Ware gets 4 blocks.

Indiana wins 72-59.

Will be interesting to see if Mgbako plays or sits.

It’s already said he plays. No penalty. Woody said it’s time to move on, that’s behind us

Thanks, hadn't heard that.

Maybe as a peace offering, IU offers free tacos at taco bell if IU scores 80 points.

Long as no injuries occur then it’s a win. Need the bench to get some minutes, specifically Gabe. Would be nice to see Ware have a standout performance but again no injuries is a win. 

[Josh 12,557]

I know nothing about Indy other than what's said here.  I'd have to assume we have the height advantage here across the lineup?

I guess it’s my turn to post an irrelevant score from the past that has nothing to do with the thread topic

Also 2010 .     Cuse 30-5 and earned a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney

[HoosierHoopster 6,811]

Is this all to get us ready for a L?

I’m looking forward to watching an athletic, shooting, tough defensive IU lead by an outstanding experienced point in X and Gallo wearing the Hell out of anyone he guards while Bako shows out from the wing in a strong W

I don't have an irrelevant score but I am happy to share I'm going to the game tomorrow.

U Indy has three kids that are 6'10", 6'11", and 7'.  The 6'10" and 6'11" players are freshman.  The 7' kid is Julian Steinfeld.  He's been a rotational player for him who is looked more for defense and rebounding than his offense.  Kendrick Tchoua has been their starting center for the past three years and will be again.  Not tall but does have some mass (6'7", 240).  Averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds last year and is strictly a post player -- shot 73% from the field last year.

If I had to guess, their seven top rotational players will be

• PG Josiah Tynes (6'3", 8.1 points, 2.4 reb, 2.7 apg....he's their best three point shooter)
• SG Jarvis Walker (6'3", 7.9 points/game last year in 17 mpg, in there for his offense)
• SG/SF Jesse Binham (6'6", 15.7 ppg, 2.9 reb, 2.9 apg)
• SF Bruno Williams(6'7", 8.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg)
• PF David Ejah (6'7", 3.8 ppg, 2.6 rpg)
• C Kendrick Tchoua (6'7", 14.1 ppg, 8.0 rpg.....is foul pron)
• C Julian Steinfeld (7', 3.1 ppg, 5.5 rpg)

Doubt there is much time that both Tchoua and Steinfeld will be on the floor together, so would typically expect a lineup of 6'3", 6'3", 6'6", 6'7" and either 6'7" or 7'.

Think I'm sucking it up and paying $10/mo to watch the exhibition games and Kennessaw State... so pumped to watch! 

My totally baseless prediction... we start slow, maybe even close at halftime (within 10 points). Then we start to pull away based on pure talent disparity. Come away with a lot to work on but hopefully also a lot of reason to be optimistic about our ceiling... We all know there are going to be chemistry kinks to iron out. Would love to see big performances from Ware and Mack in a game like this. 

IU 75

Indy 62

I don't think this is baseless, I think this is probably spot on.  Except final margin will stretch a little bigger imo

I'm sure there will be a moment everybody talks about, I'll guess a Ware slash and throw down

Anyone know when the BTN replay will be broadcast? BTN+ was awful last year so I’m skipping the live streaming.

I saw on the BTN guide this week...BIG Plus Encore Tues through Fri at 9:00 am each day. One of those is probably the IU/Indy exhib game?

Now this is the freaking definition of a hook. Saw this and am developing a possibly overpowering urge to drive over. What’s 8 hours round trip?

Apparently, I paid way too much for my tickets. Oh well, it's my son's birthday and I ordered tickets early.
