HUUUUUUUUUUGE opportunity for the Hoosiers to pick up a much needed road victory today at the Barn. That being said, the Barn doesn't have a great history of being nice to our Hoosiers. What do you say?

Hopefully we keep it up with the high level of defense we've shown recently (Not including the second half of the Nebraska game)

Huge game! IU needs to put togther a win streak going into the Iowa game.

I know that is looking ahead, but I think that these next couple are winable and if they could put a run together, IU might be able to get a ticket to the dance.

I hear he only practiced about 20 min. on Thursday and Friday, whatever that's worth.  Looked winded to me in that triple overtime game.

Found this interesting, Indiana had a raised court for a long time : http://youtu.be/5u9tCQm9LmE

Playing on one of those would freak me out, but for some reason, that arena has always fascinated me. I'd love to see a game there.

Anyone know the reasoning behind having it raised? I'm assuming better visibility for the floor level seats?

I think it was to scare the hell out of opposing players coming in for the first time. I know that would work on me! Seriously, no idea and I've wondered that.

Just did some quick research, and all that I gathered was sightlines mostly.

Doesn't Minnesota's court cover their hockey rink?  That'd exlain why there's is raised.  I heard a commentator in a game many years back say that's why, but it wouldn't be the first time a commentator said something stupid.

Was going to make a comment about how it was to scare the hell out of opponents, but Hwy1 beat me to it

I know in Boston that the Celtics' court is directly on top of the Bruins' ice and it isn't raised, but that's obviously more modern. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
