IUBB @ Maryland - Sunday, 03.03.24 @ 2:00 on CBS-TV

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,924]

Mercifully the season is winding down and Maryland (15-14) (7-11) is probably just as happy about that as we are.  The Terps are 11-5 at home so the Hoosiers better bring their A game.

Sounds like a 2-game winning streak for the good guys if that’s the case.

This will be the game he'll shoot like Calbert, handle the ball like Zeke and rebound like Henderson.

Kevin Harlan and Dan Bonner will call #iubb at Maryland on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET for CBS.

Hoosiers have an A game?  Hard to believe this one is on CBS.  Probably looked better on paper a few months ago.  Hopefully X can find his groove and bring some positive minutes.

It's been 3 months since we played Maryland. It feels more like 3 years.

From what I’ve seen Geronimo and Bates are doing for their new teams what they did for IU. 
Not much.

Geronimo basically has been the same player in twice as many minutes. 23 mins this year vs 12 per game last year. He's averaging 5.6 now compared to 4.2. 4.1 rebounds compared to 2.4. All his other metrics fluctuated only by about .3 

Bates on the other hand sort of looks, on paper at least, like the sort of player this year's roster was missing: 

That's good scoring on pretty good efficiency. Assist to TO ratio is ugly though. 

[Dave from Dayton 2,646]

Shhhh...

Do you want to know a secret?  Do you promise not to tell....

There might be a basketball game on today between IU and MD.  

I'm here to get fans fired up.  Jump up and shout now!

I could tell a pun about German sausages.  But they are the wurst.

I tried to crash an Abstinence Party.  But nobody came.

The Apple Store got robbed at the mall.  Police are looking for iWitnesses.

Cray Computing is working on a super-computer cluster that will enable doctors to simulate and study mental illnesses. It's called Cray Cray.

IU is on a roll...wins on the road.  Look out Big Ten Tourney and the NCAAT invite is guaranteed.

Hey, Nurse Rachet won't let us watch the game!

Indiana opens as 9-pt underdogs against Maryland, per @DKSportsbook (2:00 pm ET, CBS).

I foresee another loss after a win. Woody and company always act like they've found something after a win and then come out and get ran over. 

[cbp4iu 1,346]

Just realized Galloway is 1 for his last 15 from 3.

[HoosierHoopster 6,292]

At least we’ll get to watch some beautiful bball offense, raining 3’s, motion, orchestrated offense… oh wait

Just realized Galloway is 1 for his last 15 from 3.

Sums a lot up, considering he’s a top 3 guy for us.

I reserve the right to change my prediction early in the game.

Especially if Xavier loses the ball 3 times in the first 10 minutes; Reneau gets his 3 fouls in the same time; Woody stares at someone; Galloway runs like his hair is on fire and goes out the exit after lofting an attempt that lands in the 3rd row; Mgbako does a triple spin sky slam that shatters the glass; Woody stares at someone; Cupps doesn't get the ball across the timeline 3 times in a row; Woody stares at someone; that assistant coach sleeps for 3 minutes but no one can tell if and when he wakes; IU goes into a zone on defense but it's not what you think; Woody...well...  

We have two open houses that we are going to consider starting at 2...  And it sure is nice out.

That would be the women's game.

Bates has shot well at Missouri.  Still doesn’t play defense.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,924]

Alex Lasley - Indiana guards Xavier Johnson (elbow) and Trey Galloway (foot) are listed as 'questionable' today vs Maryland, per the Big Ten availability report. Both played on Tuesday after being listed as questionable and would expect the same today.

As always, don't get overly concerned about the questionable status.
