Love the Combos, M & M's , and the Pop Tart but I want to know what flavor brown sugar or strawberry.

Whatever was the cheapest and/or most disgusting option in my experience 🙂...

Notice the sugar overload... Then they weigh you to make sure you complied with military weight standards

I'm going to prepare myself for frustration in hopes of not being so frustrated come game time.

Let me know if it works.

I am pessimistic about the game right now (I think we are going to lose) but I still usually end up being irritated during the process.  Maybe if you figure out the path to that enlightenment you can share it with me? Lol

A lot of people are talking about what Indiana struggles with but Nebraska rarely creates turnovers and blocks at a very low rate. 
This will play into Indiana’s favor tremendously. If our guards aren’t pressured into a specific tempo Indiana will have a free for all underneath the basket and on fast breaks today.

Things to watch for during the game...

 

I think us being underdogs has more to do with Nebraska just looking like a better team so far and being at home than anything matchup related.

I thought Michigan’s offense was an even worse matchup for us. They took threes at a high rate and made threes at a high rate. Nebraska takes threes at a high rate and makes them at a below average rate.

Also, Nebraska has very large splits in their 2 point % allowed in the 5 games against top 100 opponents (52.12%) and the 8 games vs opponents outside the top 100 (39.33%).

History.  Iirc IU ranked 8th in defensive efficiency before X went down last year.  Forget where we finished, don't think it was top 30 even with Trayce blocking a crap ton of shots. 

This team still has a ton of room for growth.  

There is absolutely room for growth particular if Johnson comes back and plays a certain way.  I hope he is back and the team makes me look foolish for my pessimistic feelings but I haven't seen "it" yet this year and even with a Johnson return I am not expecting him to be really up to speed for several games.

Would love to be proven wwrong.  Woodson has pulled a rabbit out of a hat on a couple of occasions in his time here, I am hoping to see it happen again because right now, even at 10-3, I have concerns.

Just saw on TDH that the announcers for the game were Kuglar and Shon Ellis (not Shon Morris).

If that's the case, I take back my post on Shon Morris calling the game. Shon Morris is great. Shon Ellis? Who knows?

I think it's a snafu on the writer's part... It's Shon Morris... Unless he and LaPhonso had a love child 😁
