IUBB @ Michigan - Tuesday, 01.20.26 @ 7:00 on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Are we having fun yet?  Yeah, didn't think so.  This game has the potential to be the equivalent of the North vs the South at Gettysburg and we're going to be Pickett's Charge getting mowed down by the Wolverines (16-1) (6-1).  I'm not going to bother posting stats for Michigan because it will be too depressing and I'd much prefer to keep my mind focused on our undefeated national championship football team.

Ask me that first question after watching the trophy presentation from the night before.

[JF87]

I don't think we'll beat Michigan Tuesday, but I'm hoping to see improvement in a few areas.  First and foremost, I want to see improvement in our defense.  We've been shredded by point guards in our last two games and we gave up 53 in the second half of the Nebraska game.  The defense must improve.  Secondly, I want to avoid the 2nd half collapse.  We need to have consistency in effort and execution in the second half.  Players need to learn to play through fatigue and the coach needs to use his scholarship depth to get players the rest they need.  Finally, I'll be watching our offensive movement and shot selection.  No more 30-foot shots 10 seconds into the shot clock.  I'm hoping for better screening and open looks.  I'm still holding out hope that this team can turn it around.

Just play tough and hope to walk away without being blown off the floor (doubt any of this statement happens)

On the bright side of the road, if we win this one we’re back in tourney projections and our metrics will shoot back up.

Sounds like "must miss" tv. Who's responsible for bring the body bags?

Pass! Listening to them and getting our butt's kicked is not something I want to watch!

I can live with Fanta…..Hummel….he sucks 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Listening to a happy Hummel talk about why Indiana is losing a game for 40 minutes isn’t my definition of a good time. 

[HoosierHoopster]

Maybe put on some football jerseys….

Short of a malice in the palace incident, nothing could hurt me today. 

[sirhoosierlot]

Do we have to? 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

My defense mechanism kicks in when I’m confirmed we aren’t good and then I can laugh about how bad we are.  When we are in the middle, those are the toughest seasons for me because I’m anxious and hopeful.  
 

I threw the towel in on these guys already mentally so anything that happens going forward has no impact.

Over/Under on how many times they mention the Natty last night.  I say it is 4.

[HoosierCoop]

The Natty discussion will be the only thing that will mask this turd stink of a game coming up.

When you have greatness, and in the moment, you recognize you have greatness... you appreciate it for all it is and support it 100%.

The way I feel about this game confirms to me that IU is a football school and that is a-ok with me. I'll have a blast following their offseason.

Any positivity basketball generates is gravy for me moving forward.
