9 seed Northern Arizona knocks off 1 seed Eastern Washington with a buzzer beating 3 to win the Big Sky tournament 

USPS, your line……

Delivering every single day.    It’s been a pleasure all year enjoying every single game possible with everyone in here.   Only on a IU basketball message board can we be losing our minds over a Big Sky 2nd round tournament game.   Never change BTBanners community and can’t thank you all enough for the joining me in my hobby

Congrats to Northwestern for finishing tied for 2nd in the conference.    They earned it with all their conference road wins.

Rutgers plays Michigan in the 8/9 game.  Could be an elimination game honestly

How about the potential of a Purdue/Michigan game? That could be VERY fun!

[IUHoosier5 1,934]

Michigan matches up so well with Purdue.

They would have Jett this time for their matchup too!

Iowa stays hot from 3 and wins BTT then gets bounced in 1st round of NCAAT. IU gets the top 4 seed and we complain that we should be a 3 seed.

Been on here for over a decade under several different aliases. Never banned or removed, just forgot my passwords every few years. I have loved the community on this site, a ton of knowledge, wild takes, and the perfect amount of spice in interactions when someone posts something outrageous. BTB and IU Basketball are synonymous to me, without one the other isn't as fun. Kudos to everyone on here - proud to be a HOOSIER. @Uspshoosier is a big part of fostering a knowledgable fanbase on this site - thanks for all of your research. 

 

But the BEST IS YET TO COME. This place will be banana's with a deep March run and fellas Coach Woodson is gonna get us some - writing is on the wall. Hopefully see you all in Chi-town!!

After watching a ton of Georgia HS ball since Rosemond came to Bloomington, can’t agree more with this. The depth of talent down there is mind-blowing. If KSU or Georgia St just keep the under-the-radar kids home, they’ll be tournament caliber teams year in year out.

They are really fun to watch.   After they played at IU they were on my radar to watch as much as possible this year.     They play hard and they got some good guards.
