[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Short turnaround to host the Eagles (8-3) Tuesday night and then just 2 nights later we host North Alabama (6-6).  Team can't dwell on what might have been vs. Kansas.

At 153 in Kenpom they aren’t exactly a gimmee. That’s 1 spot better than Harvard as of today. Otoh, their decent ranking means if we blow them out like we should we can actually improve some of our efficiency metrics.

Shoot and make a lot of 3s

Cup cakes should start playing like cup cakes again. They come in SSAH look around and get their adrenaline going ….. then they get hotter than a $2 pistol!

Enough of that!

GOOOOO HOOSIERS,!!

Morehead St does. They’re 88th in attempts with almost 25pg and 63rd in 3pt %. They feature a heavily senior and junior guard/perimeter lineup.  I haven’t watched them play, but statistically they look like the teams that give us trouble.   
 

One thing in our favor is they look really small with just a couple tall guys off the bench. Reneau and Ware should have a field day. We’ll need to guard the 3pt line.

On tonight's radio show --  Mike Woodson says Xavier Johnson is 'still going to be out' -- but doesn't know how long. Is now on the stationary bike but not doing any on the court activity.

Don't think we were particularly worried but Woody also confirmed that everyone did fine on semester exams are eligible to keep playing.

Hopefully we defend the three and get the win. Can't imagine what our reactions will be if we drop this one

Went on Draftkings and adjusted the spread to take us by -18, that was the highest they let me go. I expect a 25+ point win.

If IU gets a few calls, if IU hits 5 3s out of 11, if Cupps get a double double, if Xavier does the Moonwalk, if Hunter is steady, if Galloway didn't get a haircut, if our inside game excells, if Coach Woody doesn't do the platoon subbing... then it just may be something to build on.

Well, I don't want to oversell it.

How far have we come to be somewhat concerned about Morehead State? Pretty far but let’s get a win!!! I’m not at all worried we will play flat at times coming off a big game but we will win.

Seems pretty clear to me X should be in the Out category.  As for Gunn, keep in mind that if you ask for a band aid for a paper cut, per B1G that automatically puts you as Questionable.

So what's the injury with Rayford? Had to sit out all season last year too.

Yeah, odd huh?

You've been warned, here's our color analyst for the night. This may be the worst thing ever or unintentionally a laugh riot.

Alot of teams have lost a game like this. Difference is we are not in a position to lose a game like this. We go on a 3 game losing streak this place will explode tonight. Probably just shut btownbanners down till further notice

If Galloway shaves his goatee this season I’m done with him.

Morehead State's next game is against some college(?) named Alice Lloyd.  Good grief this is definitely their Super Bowl.
