Man, things will get awfully ugly if we drop this and then the Purdue game.

I predict things will get ugly. 

Maybe they'll use the mercy rule for the Purdue game.

Okay, I want to be optimistic.  Ohio State is also in a slump, so this game is winnable. We have the talent to win.  I'll be watching for these improvements:

1. Defense.  Is everyone locked in?  Are we communicating on switches? Who seems lost?  Does anyone get pulled for poor defense? 
2. Rebounding.  Is everyone rebounding?  Who's leaking out early? Key is an excellent offensive rebounder for Ohio State.  Who is focusing on boxing him out?
3. Turnovers.  We must maximize our offensive opportunities.  Are guys being pulled for bad decisions? We need to keep turnovers around 8 or fewer. 
4. Three-point shooting.  We can't let Battle go off.  Who accepts the challenge of making it difficult on Battle?  We need to hit no fewer than 2 less threes than Ohio State.  If they hit 8, we need at least 6.
5. Offensive strategy.  Are we playing through Malik in the post?  Will Malik pass out of double and triple teams? Are we riding the hot hand? 
6. Body language and effort.  Is this a determined team or will they break if things go poorly? 
7. Lineup.  Does anyone get benched after the Penn State debacle or do we run out the same 5 (Johnson or Cupps depending on health)?

I saw a tweet that says X isn’t expected to play. Our guards better strap on the hardhat

Our guards better not switch every blessed ball screen.

I'm just glad I never signed up for Peacock.

I keep searching online for the injury report.  Does anyone know about X definitively?

Never mind.  Old Fart just popped my bubble....and IU's.  Crappola.  Have to change my prediction.

Bye Woody.  We hardly knew you.

Have to keep scorebook tonight so will miss the game.

Last season, IU won every time I missed a game to keep book.  This year I think we are 0-2 when I keep book (losses at Nebraska and Wisky).

Remember how when we play a "struggling team" they have some kind of break out game? Just checkin'.

I’ve been tapping my “Give-O-Damn” meter with fingernail.

Nothing. 

Been awhile since it moved much.

Can you do one with Woody riding Bullseye into the sunset with Bloomington at his back?

Not looking forward to this game, it kind of feels like a chore at this point. I love my Hoosiers but dang….

I love Peacock's content for other things, we've had it for a couple of years, but I.U. Women's games are an added bonus.

Officials for #iubb at Ohio State: Paul Szelc, Brian Dorsey, Earl Walton.

I think we win tonight! Doesn't much matter though. Win tonight and Saturday and some life may return!

Is that a third leg on Bullseye?  Woody should be worried about his Woody LOL.
