IU is going to win 

[Whoozhers]

Give us a full strength opponent. Get that thought that this could be a cake walk out of our minds. We’ve already had games with opponents stars are out that pushed our early season to the “brink”. No bueno.

brink /brĭngk/

noun

1. The threshold of danger.

Let’s pull it together HOOSIERS! Beat the dog outta the dogs!!

[MikeRoberts]

Anyone have the stats regarding how often Uconn scores in the paint in comparison to IU?

I imagine they also go inside more often than not with their two bigs. It will be interesting to see if Reneau and Ware can score and defend against good bigs.

the only think I feel good about is if they get in foul trouble we have other bodies to spell them which hasn’t always been the case

I don't have stats on that specifically, but one of their fan forums has an in depth scouting report on us (...interesting... to see their perspectives) and are rightfully very confident heading into this one.

We've continued to nosedive in Kenpom despite playing these past couple of days. Down to #70. I can't remember when were that low last time. Maybe Archie's first year?

[TheWatShot]

My hope for tomorrow is that maybe since they aren't a mid-major playing us on our home floor, they won't feel like they have to hit 3's to beat us. But the realist in me says they'll make at least 10 and we'll lose by double digits.

Any X update?

I have not been able to find one. That makes me think it's not good news...

Could be the opposite. Nothing to report if he's ok.

Could be he broke his hip when he fell.  He's been playing college basketball a long time.  When he entered college,his name was Twitter Johnson.

I'm fairly sure XJ won't see time tomorrow except on the bench.

Just awful luck for him...

Based on his IG story, looks like today is Mack's bday. Going off in the Garden tomorrow would be a hell of a present to himself and the fans! Lol... a guy can dream right...

Hey, ever thought of making your home Jersey a pic of our Black history month jersey? I really like the looks of that one. I'm probably in the minority, but I love the pastels up the sides.

If X can't go, then I assume Gunn and Galloway start with Gunn being first in for both.

Guessing you mean Cupps and Galloway start?

I’m seeing Hoosiers +11.5 on FanDuel this evening. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

X not shown practicing in our media hype video. Read into that what you want.

X hasn’t been what I’ve hoped for this year. But our depth is so bad. I hope Gunn is ready for the challenge.

I hope they know Cam Spencer will hit every open 3 he gets.

You sure he isn’t on there somewhere?  I’m guessing if you break that video down to some screen shots you might see X in practice wear without a boot 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Apparently he is in there. But I couldn’t find him. So, my bad.
