Indiana at Rutgers - 13:00 EST on ESPN2 - Official Game Thread

Recommended Posts

On another note, IU v. Rutgers on BTN at 3:00 CST, while the following games are on the ESPN family of networks at the same time:

Tulsa @ Cincinnati
TCU @ Oklahoma
MSU @ Minnesota transitioning to Notre Dame @ Virginia

As a lifelong fan, seems like IU doesn't get the love from ESPN. BTN is a bit lame in my estimation. Is this A scheduling thing that I'm not privy to or are we just not getting any love from the major sports networks.?

The Rutgers game was on espn2, I think you mean Nebraska. If you look at this schedule breakdown 10 of our 18 big 10 games are on ESPN networks with the Maryland game tbd so it will be on ESPN or cbs and 2 others on cbs. So 13 of our 18 games in the B1G are not on BTN
For comparison, Michigan state has 6 conference games on the BTN compared to our 5 games on the BTN

I'm sure I will get called a fraud fan or whatever for this, but I am at the point where I am more than okay if we were to just lose out...........I'm at that point where I believe that is the only way changes will be made. 

Not a fraud fan, but one I could never understand.  I want a change, but I will always root for IU to win every game.

We definitely got more love from national networks than we deserved based on the way we're playing.

Didn't say I wouldn't root for IU to win...I want nothing more than IU to just do a 180 and start running people out of the gym........just saying I wouldn't be upset with the other outcome at this point

@JonRothstein
Road wins in conference play are like free appetizers during Happy Hour: just take them and run.

I just came back to find this so I could remember it for the forum that I go on for the Magic.  

They are so cranky even when they win.  I'm stealing this from you.
