How could it even be worth it to fly up there? They fly out of Indy or Bloomington? Do they have a chartered flight? The internet says while football teams charter, basketball teams usually fly commercial. 

 

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure they fly chartered out of Bloomington.

Just checked the morning line in the paper and they have us as -9 dog.......

Ouch! The MSU players and coach are calling this a "must win" game, so my guess is its going to be difficult to match their energy. If they defend the 3 well, we lose. If we can shoot it anywhere near the clip we are accustomed to and can just match them on the boards, we should win. They have trouble scoring the ball.

[Hovadipo 56,804]

Haven't been paying attention to Sparty. Is Dawson back?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I agree. But matching MSU on the boards is not an easy task. Everyone will have to block out and crash.

[BlueDevil 8,778]

Haven't been paying attention to Sparty. Is Dawson back?

Yes has a big bulky thing on his wrist. Still sucks at free throws.

[Stuhoo 81,801]

Yes, Dawson is back, though he's been a major part of their offensive woes.

 

As Trice goes, so goes MSU. Yogi needs to lock down and lead the way tonight!

Bracketology has MSU as the last four in with Indiana in the first four out.

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

Both teams need this win. If IU wants in this year they have to win these types of games. 

[Stuhoo 81,801]

Both teams need this win. If IU wants in this year they have to win these types of games. 

 

True...both teams need these types of games on a semi-regular basis. 

 

However, it seems that there are about seven or eight B1G teams that fall in this category (IU, Iowa, MSU, UM, Neb, Minny, PU, Illini). Sooooo, there will be a lot of games that fall into this category.

 

In other words, this would be a big win, as it would put us at 2-0 in the "winnable, but not easy" games. However, it is far from a must-win, as the worst we can be is 1-1 after two road games against against that 3rd-11th in the B1G category.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Come on IU.. I need some bragging rights for my cubicle tomorrow!! 

 

Actually - I just hope these boys are feeling a little more comfortable on the road after a rowdy Nebraska crowd. It's always loud in Sparta.. 

 

Remember when we were down line 21 points and Watford and Roth went HAM from deep and we ended up tied or went up by 1?
