Remember when ranked teams and any team in general actually feared coming to Assembly Hall? Yea... that isn’t the case this year. How many ranked teams have we beaten at home in the last 3 seasons?

Of course it is. The media for whatever reason hates Indiana. They want to show them getting destroyed any chance they can.

Lol.

Wait... you’re kidding, right?!?

Ohio State up 5 at Nebraska at the half.

Illinois only down 2 to Maryland late in the 1st.

No. The media has their agenda. Indiana is not a part of it. Even we we’ve been good we are overlooked. Zellers sophomore season? Meh. But Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Duke, Kansas... they were it. Kentucky got more spotlight and they were an NIT team. They love showing us lose but when we win... eh it whatever.

You may think it is foolish but when have you ever considered Indiana a media darling? Purdue gets more love than we do.

Every other school that hasn’t been past the Sweet Sixteen in sixteen years would LOVE to have the media attention given to IU.

 

[Rico 2,911]

Say what?

Ga Tech up 2 at the half at Duke?

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

I love watching Indiana get destroyed. It’s great media attention.

Go throw your pity party elsewhere. Whining about the media picking on you might be the only thing more pathetic than Indiana’s performance last night.

In other news O$U handling Nebraska at Nebraska.  I'm  sure that game will be fun...

What reason is there for game day to be at that game? A game where ESPN gives us a 7% chance of winning? A day where UNC travels to Louisville for revenge and Texas Tech is on the road at Kansas. But let’s go to East Lansing so we show how great Michigan State is by absolutely destroying Indiana.

Maybe the "Game Day" crew likes the cuisine in East Lansing.  I know I do.  Need to get back up there to eat at the "World Buffet".  Tasty.

Illinois up on Maryland. Illinois really competes.

Because teams and opposing fans get up for games against Indiana. And because it’s a B1G game at Breslin. And because MSU is ranked top 10. And because Indiana and Archie will turn it around at some point, and maybe it’s that game.

Like it or not, Indiana will always be in the spotlight. 5 banners and a fan base that watches and travels and goes crazy no matter what will always attract that spotlight.

I'll buy the fan argument but what possible reason would MSU have for getting up for playing IU more than other Big Ten teams?  You think there is someone is the huddle before the game saying, "This is IU guys, we need to bring our A game."  I sincerely doubt it at this point.

[Ranger78 1,293]

Not sure, but I’ve been bouncing back in forth between NEB vs OSU and Illinois vs Maryland. Maybe trying to promote the BIG on the east coast. Someone might have a better explanation on why they’re playing at MSG.
