I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, could crowd in Philly be pro-IU? With playing the second game crowd will be more filled in and first game pits an Indiana school (ND) against a Big Ten team (WISC). Just thinking maybe they would root for their state/conference team vs an ACC team. Thoughts?

Could be...when I lived in Philly, there was a pretty big IU alumni base.

These next 11 hours will surely be the longest 11 of my life....

Do not change anything. You can't jinx us

You got it brother

Easy to do via app. On computer should click into profile upper right and edit profile. Should be able to do it in there.

I'm not going to anymore per request but on my app I can't find anywhere to do it. Tried cp but couldn't find it there as well. When I clicked on photo it just enlarged it.

There were quite a bit of IU fans at practice. Didn't see any downtown though :/

Go the to the Reading Terminal Market for lunch...you will not be disappointed.  Either go to DiNics and get the Roast Pork with Broccoli rabe or there is a Greek place that has amazing gyros.

Great article... pretty lighthearted....

BUT when I read the below paragraph I literally got chills... he is taking us somewhere special!

Kevin had a lighter joke for his son this week. He texted him a picture of that fourth-grade Hoop Scoop ranking, saying, "Don't forget where you came from." Yogi responded at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday with this: "Dad, just got out of the gym. Still grinding."

Seth Greenberg just picked IU. Yogi and Bryant combo too much for UNC. I'd say it's the intangibles actually. Having to account for 3 point shooters everywhere. To keep track of OG who is a straight up ball hawk. To never allow Ziesloft to get lost in transition or in the offense. And then there is Williams. A one man wrecking crew. But is he swinging the wrecking ball at the right building???

Keep Brice off the boards and IU will be fine.

So glad I have today off to completely focus on and obsess over this game. Probably not the healthiest thing for me, but who cares.

Just looking ahead- I assume we win so I now realize the Sunday games are going to be right smack in the middle of our late afternoon Easter get together:( Wife will be highly pissed at me At least we are having it at my house:)

 I am worried TB will have 2 fouls within 5 minutes. That being said, we have still won when that happens but we need his size vs. UNC.

It is not a mystery...hit threes, low turnovers, do not let them get a million second shots, tough D and having "good" Troy will lead to a win. Not a lot of games where all five of those happen but it is what we need tonight.

Where'd you go, if you remember?

 

I'm going to try to scalp my way in preying on fans of whichever team loses the first game but I have my doubts. If not, I'll be at Chickies which is walking distance so stop by after. Friends the bartender so free (hopefully celebratory) driiinkkkss!!
