Be thankful it's not football, or else those NAIA championship contenders would shred the Hoosiers football team.

Valpo lost to Indiana Wesleyan the other year, don't act like NAIA schools can't do it.

I hope/expect that this game will be less competitive than Indy.

How ironic is it that Marian's nickname is the Knights.

[Hoosier DaDa 2,750]

Fun fact my uncle Brian played for Marian in the early '70s.  In 1971 sectional championship game he outscore Kent Benson 25-24 but lost.

I think it will. IU will hopefully get off to a better start. That said Marian has some guys that can play and they’ll push the tempo offensively.

Valpo isn't exactly the measuring stick.

FWIW, Valpo has lost exhibitions to U Indy two of the last three times they've played.  The one time Valpo did beat U Indy it was 75-57.....and that was the year Valparaiso went 30-7 and made it to the NIT final.

I'm talking about in football.  I'm talking about Valpo football losing to Indiana Wesleyan football.  A very bad football team at a high losing to a really good football team at a lower level. 

I know we like to pretend that Memorial Stadium only exists for tailgating but sometimes stuff happens inside the building a couple of Saturdays every fall.

You're wildly confused if you don't realize IUFB would beat Marian by 100. 

But back to basketball, hopefully.

Praying for a nice solid game to give them confidence with no injuries!

So Banks must be a go.

Not surprised by Sparks.  It looked really bad. Still appears to be nothing major, but hard not to keep an eye on this one.
