jojo123 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I remember 21 years ago a good friend told me Indiana Basketball will never be the same again and not even close to the same again. Boy was he ever prophetic. I thought to myself. We won't be the same but Indiana Basketball will remain Indiana Basketball. Was I ever wrong.

Both teams kind of mirror each other in their ability to look pretty good one game and then kind of awful the next. It is hard to say which team is going to show up for both programs this year.

Seeking6 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 5th game in 10 days for Sparty. I'll echo what I said yesterday. Anyway we can force the pace on this one on both ends is fine by me. We'll see if our D remembers that Sparty likes to swing the ball to the corner....hoist up a 3 and let it bounce on the rim 14x before falling in.

NIT field is being reduced to 16 teams and being held in Texas. I am not so sure we would get an invite with the reduced field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG I was thinking the same thing. Also, could you ever imagine the women's team being so good and being rated while the men's team is a dumpster fire? Hopefully the men get their you know what together and start winning before I kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 The lack of optimism is not fun to read here. We had msu last time with awful guard play and then fell asleep, we are more than capable to beat them. One game at a time!! Get the dub and move forward!

Play like rats in a cage. It's a season on the brink, so might as well play like it's your last game ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuthruandthru Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I feel like IU is gonna win. A lot of close games played over 10 days for MSU, lately have played good against them, and most importantly this team are experts at giving false hope. Winning today continues that narrative of false hope and I fully expect that trend to continue just to be let down harder in the next game or BTT. Chalk it up, win today, misery tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t quite start yet but last meeting ends at 4pm. I already have my first two beers planned for pregame. After that I’ll let the game dictate things as you said 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So jealous. My son is playing in the NC high school state Final Four at 630pm. Can't have anything before that one, so I'll be stone cold sober for the Hoosiers game when I get home. Kinda scary.

I've decided I won't be Shooter from Hoosiers, but man I have a tough call... In the past I have broadcasted some of their games, but due to Covid they wouldn't let me sit close enough to the guy who does the play by play, so I haven't all year. Now they tell me I can tonight, but would I rather sit up in the stands with my dad and just take the game in rather than be broadcasting? Tough call!

I just don't think history is a good indicator of how teams will be picked for this tourney. Not saying they will 100% be in, but I would be $5 if they win two more games they make it.
