And should have happened vs Penn State. But Rutgers shot 29 free throws and Penn State shot 13. That was the game. Neither team did anything else well.

In fact I see us losing there. Of the games left I'd guess they go like this unless a lightbulb comes on real quick: OSU loss @Rutgers loss @Nebraska win(iffy on this) MSU loss Md loss @PSU loss @OSU loss PU win Iowa win @Michigan loss @Minny win(another iffy one) PSU win @PU loss @Illinois loss Minny win Wisconsin loss The only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is that even though there are a lot of good teams none(except MSU maybe) are really really good. Every year there's always a couple teams that are hot and then fade once they get into the middle of the schedule. Penn state nd Iowa come to mind or us last year. Smh. Minnesota is always good for a collapse with little Ricky as well. I would be more excited about the rest of the year had we beaten Northwestern handily. Oh well. Go Hoosiers!!! IU will not lose OSU, MSU, and Maryland at home. Not all of them. And I bet we beat Wisky at home as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they've been without their big man in the last 2 losses that were still close games. Sure we have a chance especially if Young is still out but I wouldn't bank on it. Go Hoosiers!!!

IU878176 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 How many Big Ten road teams have won so far this year? Maybe I’m off but it almost seems like the home teams should automatically be given a “W” and the opponents should be told they don’t have to bother with traveling to the games.

Off the top of my head, MSU won at Northwestern, Wisconsin won at OSU and Rutgers won at Nebraska. Not sure there have been any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One never knows, but that is about as pessimistic as one can get. you singled out a road game at Rutgers (11-0, playing great) as one of our best chances. there are multiple better chances and they’re all at home. No idea if the team will play better, and that also has to do with what lineups we play, but at home the games against teams like osu and md are different games. I do think we’ll beat Wiscy at home, for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we’ll beat Wiscy at home, for example Normally I'd agree about the home court advantage of AH. However when it takes us OT to beat Nebraska and a late game comeback against a pathetic Northwestern I dunno. It seems teams are not intimidated of AH anymore. I can't remember which game it was((Arkansas maybe) where they actually fed off our crowd. Northwestern used to be the one road game all the schools circled as a likely win. Seems like we have become that lately. As for Rutgers...I'm not completely sold on them yet. And of all the road venues that is one that shouldn't be as intimidating for us. But I did pick Rutgers to win so that's my story. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see what state they are in by the time they get to Bloomington. They can still get into tourney, but they can’t lose at home.
