eddy4iu Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 It's been a very long time since I had to navigate an IU Academic year calendar but if I'm interpreting it correctly the basketball mini-series package this season will consist of Arkansas Little Rock, Jackson State, Elon, Kennesaw State and Northwestern. With the "marquee" game being Northwestern I think this may be my first year in quite a while to pass on buying 4 mini-series packages.

In the years I did it before Covid, there were always 6 games in the pool. The best seasons for the mini-package are when a game falls during Spring break. Got to see IU v Rutgers on Sr. Night when Juwan Morgan was a Senior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 In addition, I had already planned on skipping this year. One of the games is on my wife's birthday and we are planning holiday travel around the time of some of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good opportunity for folks who don't generally have access to take in some games and also good for folks coming back around the holidays. It's good though that the only B10 game the students won't be around for is Northwestern. Glad it's not one of the heavier hitters.

DWB Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 I've started coming up for one game a year. For the past couple of years, I've gone to the early Jan B1G games (2023=NW). But this year I'm coming up for the Nov 20th, Miami of Ohio game in Indy. Think it will be a little more competitve. And I don't have to worry about winter weather driving back down to SC. Last year I got caught in the remnants of the ice store after OSU game when I hit KY. Hillbillies forgot to prep the road and I went 4 hours at 1 mph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right based on the "paper rankings" but between the 2, I think M of OH will be a better game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'm passing on the mini as well. I was hoping at least one more good game but with our schedule it's not possible I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
