Northwestern is capable of beating most everyone in our league. If a couple of the guys who might be leaving after this year want to truly leave their mark and get IU back to the tourney this is the game we need them. I'll probably feel different tomorrow night but right now this game is a pickem right now. Agree, and will even take it a step further. We have 8 regular season games left. Four vs ranked opponents and 4 vs what you would deem bottom tier (except Rutgers, they're middle of the pack) Big Ten teams. We all like to beat ranked teams, looks good for perception and the resume, but the bottom line is IU needs to take care of business against Northwestern, Maryland, Minnesota and Rutgers. Teams that finish 7-10 in conference lose to those teams. Teams that finish top 4-6 beat those teams. We've already got one loss to PSU, we can't finish the season with 2-3 losses to the bottom tier. Take care of those four games and the tournament is an absolute lock. The games against the ranked teams would just be gravy and for seeding. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're in the middle of the pack, you have to beat the teams behind you and try to pick off a couple ahead of you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisch said for their home game against Rutgers there was only about 3,000 people there (place only holds like 7,000)...you leave the large Hoosier fanbase/alum base in Chicagoland that many tickets they'll snap em up...

Exactly, I don't care how "tough" Northwestern plays people. Their record says they are a bottom feeder. This absolutely must be a win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my kids are old enough to really be into it, so we'll have the 9pm fight where they beg to stay up past their bedtime to watch some of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another teacher here chiming in with agreement with disdain for the 9:00, which will really be 9:12 after the slide, tip. Seriously though, isn't it a little late in the year for a meet the teacher night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel good about getting the win tonight. Mainly because we will be coming off a loss and I expect a bounce back. The fact we will have fans there will hopefully negate some of their home court advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
