I'm not quite at the point where I am "expecting" to win both. I wish I was, but I expected to win against PSU. I would say I am cautiously optimistic about winning both. Until this team learns how to win on the road, I just can't get that confident unfortunately. Now if they beat Iowa...I will have much more confidence going on the road.

This upcoming week is a great opportunity for this team to take the next step. Upcoming games @Iowa and @Nebraska. They can make a strong statement by winning those two games leading into the PU game. No reason they shouldn't at least win the Nebraska game. Go Hoosiers!!

Not as pretty as the O$U game, but it was a weird start time and they got another Big Ten win. Onto the next! Really like the confidence that Rob P is showing the last couple games.

He heard me after the miss!

Make the freaking free throws!!

I think Archie would have for sure lost the St. John's game and probably Eastern Michigan.

I don't think Archie's teams would have looked good.

Nice job on closing out the half with very nice run. Hope Hoosiers start out strong in second half and put this one away.

Rob showed some of this his freshman year. I really think his issues shooting the past couple years was a combination of injuries and Archie.

Yep. I think Bates is adjusting to the Big Ten physicality. I expect him to play much better in the second half of Big Ten schedule.

Rob seems to be getting more confidence as the season goes on. He looks more comfortable shooting these past few games.

And "Black Monday" has come early this year...and so it begins. Fangio fired from Denver. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/09/broncos-fire-vic-fangio/

There were some rumblings and rumors that he might. The Bears are a conservative franchise though, and have never fired a coach midseason. If that blog reporter is correct in the podcast, they gave him the option on leaving for the final two games or finishing the season.

Yep. That is what many mainstream reporting is saying...however, if you read/listen closely they are being vague in their reporting (even Biggs). This Debearsblog guy apparently has had numerous scoops before that he stated before it became known to mainstream media. Not sure who is connections are, but he is claiming in this podcast that Nagy was indeed told a week and a half ago he was done and given the option of finishing out the season. He said Pace is a done deal that he is going to be fired, but that he is well liked by George, and although George wants to keep him, he doesn't want to answer to the media since he can't really justify keeping him. He stated that just because things appear to be quiet in Halas Hall, that hasn't been the case. Anyway, hopefully this guy is right and they are both gone.

I really think this is the type of win that can give the team momentum and confidence to start closing out some of these close games. Trey coming back might give this team the kick in the backside they need to get over the proverbial hump. They lost three close games they very well might, and I would argue would have won, with Trey playing. During the Archie years, IU would get a big win and could never really get on any kind of meaningful winning streak. Let's hope this is about to change with CMW in charge.

For fellow Bears fans...DaBearsblog guy is supposedly connected with reliable sources into the Bears organization and was the first to report that Pace was hired as GM in the past. He was on the podcast and just announced that Nagy AND Pace will be fired on Monday.

I think this will be a double digit win for the Hoosiers unless they have a major letdown from the O$U win. I believe Parker and company will have a much better shooting performance from 3.

Great win...and really nice job closing out the game. Major props to TJD and Galloway for incredible efforts. Onto the next! Go Hoosiers!!

Galloway again!

I think Race has 7 straight

Loving the defense intensity.

Assembly Hall is rocking!! Finish it off strong

Very nice D Galloway!!

NICE TJD!!
