IUBB @ Wisconsin - Friday, 01.19.24 @ 8:30 ET on FS1

We once went 30 years between home losses to Wisconsin (1972-2002). I'm convinced the sports gods will not allow us to win there until they've gone 30 years without a home loss to us. We aren't going to lose 34 in a row to them like they did to us, but whatever they've done to us in the last ~15 years is probably the closest thing in today's game. It's the only rational reason I can come up with for why they've owned us for so long.

We beat them 32 straight games overall in the series

This will be ugly. Adding yet another 15 point loss for Woody's tenure?

You're probably right...Frankly, it would be hard to argue anything against. I'm expecting at least a double digit loss. Just like us, they are playing after a loss... and despite us being embarrassed at home to our hated rival, I expect Wisconsin to come out with more energy and focus. As Bob Knight once said...the team that makes the fewer mistakes tends to win...well, our team makes countless of mistakes...from silly turnovers to shooting long 2's.

I’m pretty close to this HOOSIERS:

“Gimme just a one more last chance 
Before you say we're through 
I know I drive you crazy baby 
It's the best that I can do 
We're just good ol' boys, making noise 
I ain't runnin' round on you 
Gimme just a one more last chance 
Before you say we're through”
- Vince Gill

Ok, one more!

Go HOOSIERS!

As I've said, not expecting a win tonight at all... but... this does feel like the kind of game where they could surprise people. 

I think this team is what it is. Hopefully they can put together a run. So much season left, hope we can at least make things interesting...

I woke up this morning and thought I was in Wisconsin. almost 3 inches of snow at my house in Bloomington

Badgers' might have more offensive rebounds than we have points

It's gonna be so bad.  LOL 

The broken down Hoosiers are gonna slink away and embarrass themselves again arent they?

We lose by 15 minimum. 

[Chris007 62,616]

I think we will play well. For at least 10 minutes. 5 in the first half, 5 in the second half

I’m sure whether to laugh or be confused, but in reality you will me mostly right!

I wished they would just show some leadership on and off the court!  They are way past due for one of those team meetings but that ain’t going to happen because everyone is to afraid to call someone out and make them mad, especially Trey and X.

Maybe go rest high on that mountain would be more fitting. I'm not crying, your crying

Don’t forget hitting free throws, lack of rebounding, and our defensive lapses!

Imo having a players only meeting that actually worked should have been a red flag for our coaching
