Would be a 9 am PST game for Oregon, probably won’t matter, but something to consider

I think Illinois, Indiana, and Oregon all need one win to be sure to get in the ncaa in case some cinderellas win their conference tournaments. I actually feel better about the Oregon game with us having lost to them rather than if we’d beaten them. Hopefully we’ll come focused. Looks like a great tournament! Anyone on here going?

I debated, but my uncle died and funeral is Thursday, so won't be able to go!

Wonder what each team's restaurant spot will be downtown.

I remember years ago the Indy Star had an article back in 2019 that said which restaurant was for what team. I know Michigan State is The Slippery Noddle obviously we're Kilroys. This was all when the conference wasn't so crazy.

One of the benefits of the B1G expanding to umpteen teams; they finally got rid of that idiotic flower logo at center court.

[OliviaPope40 7,332]

OT but Leal when you and the team are done this weekend I have an assignment for you the selling of my parents house. 

[HinnyHoosier 6,200]

Screw you Diebler. You're killing my one dollar parlay.

[JaybobHoosier 12,823]

Thank you Iowa. Could be big for IU. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,675]

Depends how you look at it.  Takes away 2 wins against the field IU had since Ohio st was a projected team.  Now IU doesn’t have those 2 wins against a projected tourney team.   They just need to win tomorrow and not have to worry about anyone else

Why must you come at me with logical reasoning?!? :) 

Regardless, if IU wins I would like to think that definitely puts them in, but we will see.
