IUBB @ Michigan State - Tuesday, 02.11.25 @ 9:00 on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,256]

There's every likelihood this game will just add insult to injury.  Scuzzo is tied with The General for number of career Big Ten wins at 353 so kicking our butts Tuesday night will give him the outright record.  I will admit up front, I won't be watching.   Spartans (19-4) (10-2) and 12-0 at home probably won't work up too much of a sweat.  They average 80 ppg with a +12 scoring margin but are not a good 3-point shooting team at just 29% so it could be a real anvil chorus in East Lansing.   But they pound the glass with 41 rpg and a +10 margin.  Only 2 players in double figures but 5 average 7.7-10 ppg.  Jaxon Kohler their best rebounder averages 7.8/gm.    After this game we'll still have 6 more regular season games left.

Just for the heckuva it Xavier Booker averages 16 min./gm off the bench and 6.3 ppg  and 2.9 rpg.  One time target Coen Carr averages 21 min/gm off the bench and adds 8.3 ppg and 3.5 rpg.

This after Purdue win this season put them into the top 10 all time wins and knocked IU out. Rough year for IU fans.

In what has to be the biggest upset of the week, no Bobby Boiler!

Wait, when did Austin Rivers start calling BTN Peacock (for Mr. Perfect) games?

BTN is just a mess. They have to actively be trying to get bad announcers at this point.

That was mean and I wish you would take it back.

I actually wish all the games on that sham BTN+ would be on Peacock instead. Less $$, stream quality is better, and is useful for more than 6 months a year.

Peacock is awesome. I'm getting near-4K quality and can easily flip to King of Queens when the King of Indiana starts getting clapped.

That makes more sense. It is Tuesday. Either way, I don’t hold out much hope for young Mr Rivers if he announces anything like he plays.

Although he did have probably the best last second heave of a Duke versus UNC game.

Game Day!  Get excited!

I have slept since the last game.  Anything happening that is different?

No?

Woody coaching?  Oh.

Rice playing PG?  Oh.

2 Bigs starting?  Jeez..

Goode?  Tucker?  Galloway consistent?   Mgbako defending?

Armond Hill awake?

11% chance of an IU win on the road against a conference leader and a good coach?  

You mean there's hope?

Obi Wan Kenobi or Brad Stevens...you're our only hope.

11% that's not bad odds. I was thinking more like 2%

Per the availability report Cupps and Newton are out and no one else on the report.  

[Hoosier Guy 8,110]

This might not be so good for IU.

2 bigs lineup here we come! I'm excited for that and Izzo won't expect it.

[Pagoda 3,172]

I’m looking forward to Izzo praising Woody in the postgame like he usually does.  I’m sure he loved him as IU’s coach and will miss having him here.  Sorry Tom but he’s gone!
