BLOOMINGTON — Perhaps to the chargin of IU fans, Sunday’s visit from Stony Brook probably stands as this season’s marquee non-conference home game.

But Tom Crean won’t be casting even a skeptical glance at the Seawolves.

“The people that I’ve talked to are starting to liken them to the next Gonzaga-, Butler-type of team,” Crean said. “It will be a very tough game. I mean, they score inside, they score outside, they defend and they’re very physical.”

The Seawolves (3-0) were picked, narrowly, to finish second behind Vermont in the America East Conference this season. They return four starters from last season’s 25-win NIT team. That team posted its league’s best regular-season league record.

Last season, Stony Brook tested Maryland (seven-point road loss) and Seton Hall (one-point road loss). Stony Brook, Crean said, will be more physical against Indiana’s young team than its three previous opponents.

“I think it’s going to be a major battle for us,” Crean said, “because they’re older, they’re experienced, they know how to play, they’ve won. They’ve got very good toughness.”

Hopefully the weather doesn't get to the point where I can't watch the game.

I'm afraid the weather isn't going to be friendly for this one.  No way my DirecTV makes it through this game.  I'll be flying blind on my phone unfortunately.

[JaybobHoosier 11,852]

Weather left St. Louis right before noon. Clear skies but crazy wind coming with it.

Let's Go Hoosiers!

Don't jinx us by starting the thread and if you do you get one strike.

[JaybobHoosier 11,852]

I will ban myself for one day if they lose tonight! (which won't happen of course)

Look for me on TV under the basket, I have on bright red Jordans. Go Hoosiers!

I got rid of DirecTV, I loved it, except when it stormed or snowed heavily.

Natty if I could I would like this post any day of the week.

You guys must have bad satellite angles.  We've survived storms, blizzards, winds, etc.  I can count on one hand the # of times I've lost reception w/DTV.

I always had that problem with Dish/Direct tv. One of the reasons I ditched it for good.

Looks like I'm not the only one worried about not seeing all of the game tonight due to weather.  

 

We should all be prepared for this game to be more like LIU than Samford.  According to KenPom SB has a better ranking than Penn St., Northwestern, Evansville, and Washington (who we play Thursday night.)  In other words, it doesn't mean we suck if we don't win by 30.

At the end of the day a win is a win. Good, bad, ugly, by 1 or by 100 it shows up as a W all the same.

On BTN right now, I just noticed it

 

Big Ten Elite: 1981 Indiana Basketball [TV-PG]

A look at the second of the three of Bob Knight's national championship teams at Indiana. Just two years prior Indiana hadn't even qualified for the NCAA Tournament but with the arrival of star point guard Isiah Thomas the Hoosiers were back among the Nation's elite.

Alright I'm tired of all the storm talk here in Indy. Let's watch some Hoosiers kick ass!
