How ironic.

I am watching a Big Ten network special about the '87 team.

Daryl Thomas mentioned being suspended for missing a class and tonight we are playing a team that often does not even have a class to go to. 

They are in trouble if they do attend.

Can Indiana out-pretty the Tar Heels?

“I don’t think so,” Berry said. “I don’t think we can be out-prettied. It’s our game to run up and down the floor. If you get beat at your game, I think that’s a problem.”

 

The above is a quote from Doyel's article today. The nice thing is the hoosiers have shown grit and toughness and anything but pretty at times. So Berry that's fine you can out-pretty us all you want. We'll out tough you.

Berry sucks.

Downtown philly right now. Lots of Notre Dame fans. Not many IU fans.

A lot of that is because they are of a certain religious persuasion.  Most ND "fans" that I met there didn't even know where South Bend was.

I just hope Bad Troy missed the flight and is still stuck in Bloomington.

But if we have awesome troy though, unc won't know what hit them.

I watched the highlights of the 87 championship season on BTN this afternoon. At the closing segment of the program, Alford said that winning the Big 10 championship had eased all the pressures on the players. So, going forward they played loose to,win the Natty. I hope this team feels similiar.

I think it is crucial for Bryant to avoid cheap fouls and play the whole game. He can make the difference.

Limiting turnovers is what will win this game for us. UNC does not turn ball over so we cannot give them more possessions then they deserve.

Albers reported that no UNC player shoots over 37.5% from 3-point range----but 8 IU players do.  Let loose the 3-ball Hoosiers!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Let's bring our A game tonight. We need:  Good Troy/Mad Max/OMG/and Z for 3 !

I would be fine with Yogi looking for his shot more if we get down.

The most consistent thing I've heard about the team from every interview I've listened to and article I've read is that they're loose. This team is having a blast every game and as long as they are, they'll take us for a ride.
