To say I’m excited for this game would be an understatement. 
 

IU vs PSU on Saturday. Colts overseas and playing during breakfast Sunday. And this game afterwards. If PSU were still a top ten ranked football team, I don’t think my liver would make it through the weekend.

I'm not a big fan of Cory Alexander

Going to be a challenge and probably a game of lead changes. Smart’s pressing, running team vs DeVries’ similar style. We have better outside shooting, need to be hitting- take advantage of that. They have better size and will likely try to exploit it. They don’t crash the boards well so there’s that. Our guys need to avoid forced TO’s as much as possible and foul trouble. Do that and hit our shots well and we have a good shot at the W, won’t come easy. Glad we had that Baylor exhibition experience

I think he’s dialed back the “havoc “ system at Marquette. Kinda flamed out at Texas. I doubt they press much but if they do we did a good job vs Baylors. Conerway handling the rock with Tucker in the middle makes me confident against most presses

Line is IU -2.5. 

I was a little more interested in this than usual given it’s so early in the season.  I was hoping for a surprising number like 4 or 5.  But, the bettors view is a slight edge to us and pretty even teams.  Hopefully we can make a statement today.

Yep. Every game this team has played they've either won in a blowout against lesser competition or gone right down to the wire (Baylor, Mega SuperBet)... I'd (obviously) like to see them win by a comfortable margin against solid competition. Can't wait for tip off.

[OliviaPope40 7,592]

Do we know who has the call? I imagine it won't be Gus unless his voice has recovered by now.

Stupid Disney/YTTV dispute is forcing me to go old school and fire up the radio today.

The United Center, lol

On a more serious note... I think the best bet is probably a free trial for one of the ESPN subscriptions to watch today.

Trying to figure it out. Wife says espn works on our Disney+. But I’m not seeing it

[Home Jersey 17,460]

Let's kick their tails. 

I feel like we could win close or comfortably. Or lose close. But I don't think we'll get blown out. Still learning so much about this team. 

Most interested in seeing how Bailey and Alexis do. And what Miles/Sisley can do. Will Dorn be available? Probably not, but I'd sure like to see it.

Yeah it's funny, espn did work on her Disney plus until last week.  Espn is being petty and pulling it off Disney plus now during this
