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

[Hornsby 1,637]

Last time we played up there, we had a 22 point lead in the first half. We gave up 5 straight points to end the half to only lead by 17 and people started losing their minds. I remember feeling oddly calm, that this was the breakout game of the Mike Woodson era and there was no way we'd lose. Then 21st century IU basketball showed up and reminded me that if there's a game to be lost and a crazy way to do it, a way will be found to make it happen. I went from thinking we'd win with about 10 minutes left to correctly predicting the final score with 5 minutes left. 

Yep though I don't think we will have to worry about a 22 point iu lead tonight

If Ware is out then that’s a huge blow.

Conner Essegian's seemingly been the odd man out for Wisky this season but tonight he'll probably be the guy who torches us for 30.

You had to say it out loud. Almost guaranteed to happen now.

Malik at the 5 might be interesting tonight!  I just don't see Woody starting Walker, which would be the smart thing to do.

I would very much expect Walker to get the start. Seems like a given to me.

I do too, which is why I don't think it will happen.

I mentioned to my wife how much dry January sucks. She said we’re not doing dry January, we’re just not purchasing alcohol. Gift card to the Office Lounge just got used. I’m back baby.

Doesn’t apply on game days.  :)

Hysterics guy on peegs said Ware is out with a sprained ankle. If we start Sparks I swear man.

Must have put too much weight on it while watching Edey dive on the floor for that loose ball the other night.

Kid just texted — last time we won at Wisconsin he wasn’t born yet.  Un friking believable.

Anyone think the Georgetown/Xavier game will run long?

Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?

We need x tonight. He has to have a phenomenal 20 plus point 1 turnover performance! I am starting to believe!

might be a blessing so less IU bball we have to watch.

Terrible rebounding team loses its only rebounder. A good shooting Wisconsin team rebounding half its misses could induce a “throw something” episode from me tonight. But more likely it will induce a turn the TV off episode.

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

It’s been a red flag this entire season.  It was a giant red flag when he appointed X as captain
