I hate that I'm still not absolutely excited about the game today. I'm usually amped all day. Please help me shake the baddies hoosiers!! We all need out of this funk

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Excited to see what changes have been made by the players and coaches. Time to start operating at our peak; Louisville is just around the corner!

I don't know why but for the last 2 days I've just had a feeling IU is gonna come out firing and blow pitt out. Doubt it will be a blowout but I got a feeling...

[GloryDays 5,920]

Hoping to see more heart and hustle on defense.We'll need all the grit we can muster against the physicality this team will bring.

Dammed I wish Collin Hartman was 6'9''

Also want Holt and more Holt added to my in game diet so I can back off the liquid refreshment a bit. :drinks:

Chili in slow cooker, check!  IU gear on, check!  Beer in fridge, check! Not doing anything insurance related at work, check!  Love game day :)

What's wrong with you man?  There's as much protein in a beer as in a pork chop!  Keep refreshing!!!

Wohoooo, it's game day! I'm excited for this game, and have a good feeling. I have a better feeling about this game than I did about SMU.

Can someone post Martha the Mop Lady video? Get us all ready for the game!!!

Pitt is a big team, but I think our guards are too much to handle in this one.

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Will be in GA seating for this one. Can't wait

Love it.

It was a long long weekend guys. No Niners football, No Indiana Basketball for three whole days? I'm lucky I survived. We made it through though, and now we start one of the greatest stretches of the year! Championship football Friday and Saturday, Indiana BBall Saturday, an easy Niners game on Sunday, then a big Indiana game next Tuesday! It truly is a joyous time... unless we lose.

As a side note, i finally learned CTC has Hanner move back into the dorms . lol

[GloryDays 5,920]

Chili in slow cooker, check!  IU gear on, check!  Beer in fridge, check! Not doing anything insurance related at work, check!  Love game day :)

Doesn't get much better than that!  Now all we need is for  the Hoosiers to kick some Panther azz.

[drewheck 749]

We better show up tonight or it will get ugly fast

Everyone had to move back to the dorms. Or at least on-campus.

[hoosierinIll 335]

I think we'll come out firing! I love watching this team shoot the ball!

My concerns are:
1. Foul trouble (they have some serious size).
2. 2nd half defensive fatigue.
3. Giving up offensive rebounds.

Let's go Hoosiers
