Indiana v. IPFW Game Thread - 19:00 EST on BTN+

[DawgBawls]

...if so where?

[KelleyHoosh]

BTN Plus

[MartintheMopMan]

But, as a consolation, we'll put our own RonJo(h?)n on the call.

The networks won't generally cover sibling contests they consider are more like scrimmages or exhibition games.

There will almost certainly be a stream posted in the thread. By me. But, it may be after tip-off depending on traffic going home. Or the link may get posted but the pattern for the ads won't and you'll have to guess until I can get home and figure out what it is.

 

Take this time to update your adblocker (I recommend ublock origins for Chrome) and active virus protection. Only the scummiest sites carry this kind of thing.

Thanks guys

I made this the game thread, because it's pretty much how the game thread should start in this game (clarifying how to watch).

 

Go nuts guys.

 

I'll kick off the non-TV portion...

 

I'm so tired and bored of cupcakes and meaningless non-conference games. How much energy are we supposed to muster to either watch us wallop a weak opponent or look bad against a weak opponent? There is no outcome to this game which can make us say "Hey, team's great now"

 

It's tiring every season, but frustrating this year when we still are wondering who this team really is.

Will be sitting 2-3 rows behind ipfw bench tonight. Gonna be at Nicks pre game.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I will try to watch on BTNplus but will be late to start due to my sons BB practice.

We are teaching defense tonight. I am thinking of opening with, "Do you all watch IU basketball? If so, Don't do anything you see them do on defense".


Will be able to watch end of 1st half and remainder. Will try to post updates if possible.

My week in Norman, OK, so if someone finds the stream, I'll be grateful.  On a side note, they're freaking nuts here with the football and basketball times being as highly rated as they are.  Damn it man.

Technically, they're our child not our sibling. Though, your point remains the same.

 

Unless we think of the parents as the state of Indiana. But, then Purdue and Indiana are siblings who had a child who is also their sibling. Yucky.

 

Maybe that flies in Southern Indiana when it starts to get a little Kentuckyesque, but not in South-Central Indiana!

I have an extra student ticket. Seats aren't great. I'd have to check once I get back from class. Either balcony or high up lower level. I hate when my roommates find excuses not to go. I'll give it to whoever wants it first for free.

BTN airing the Wisconsin - Wisconsin-Milwaukee game (sibling contest).  There is also that exciting MSU - Maryland Eastern Shore (1-6) game.  At least Indiana's opponent has won some games - IPFW has defeated Austin Peay, a common Hoosier opponent this year,  They have also defeated Miami (OH), Jacksonville, UNC - Greensboro, and a few others.  What are the extra BTN channels for anyway? 

 

Looks like BTN will replay the IU-IPFW game Thursday night at 10:00.

Bummed this is not on TV.

 

Fire up Hoosiers---it's game day.

 

Will be watching for defensive effort!

I didn't realize it was on BTN+, now I feel less bad for scheduling our band concert at the same time as the game! I'll still be announcing score updates in between pieces, though!

I know we all have been spoiled with being able to easily watch every game, but, guys, Fischer is great.  I know radio isn't "seeing it", but this guy is a legend. I am sure he will be calling IU games for years to come, but think about tuning him in tonight before he hangs it up one of these years.  Don't take this great part of the IU basketball tradition for granted and say he'll always be there.  

 

Thanks to all those of you posting streams.  Your effort is appreciated.  I don't want you to think it is not.

I had to do that several times on the construction site in Nebraska using the Tune-In app, and just keep clicking stations until Don's voice greeted my ears. Still like watching though!

[Hovadipo]

Not going (even with GA tickets), not bothering to find a stream, *maybe* listening to Fisch while I play 2k. Play a decent team ffs.

Fish is great. I just HATE listening to basketball on the radio.

Would the radio station be 1450AM for the Louisville area?
