Do I really need to root for them today? Nah, don't think so. Just wouldn't be right.

 

[ibew481]

Cant root for them, Christ if they win, all the losers will be wearing those "Were Back" shirts and wont shut up till their next loss.

Don't believe they have much of a chance anyhow...Happ will eat them up inside.

 

[ibew481]

They should be destroyed by Happ........I want them to loose by 40, but then again if they win, Crean will get an extension and they will be stuck with him, so that a good thing there

 

[Chauncey1986]

I wish they would film from the other side of the court so we don't have to watch him march back and forth the entire game.

I can manage to root for them, let them get an upset and then be flat for us.

 

[ibew481]

his constant back and forth action and pulling his tie and pants up...Remind me of Rodney Dangersfields no respect act comical

40 is possible

 

[SunnyFL24]

Nope......have to root for WISKY.......higher Wisky stays...the better for us and the Big in general...........

 

[Chauncey1986]

Wisky wins and Tom marches straight into the NIT, ..maybe..

 

[DrEss]

They have already conceded today's game as TC is saving JBJ's return for the home crowd on Thursday.

 

[SunnyFL24]

Good god another Wisky game in the 50's ............4-0 at the first TV timeout.........

 

[Chauncey1986]

iu went on a 5-2 run. Wis better be careful

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good god another Wisky game in the 50's ............4-0 at the first TV timeout.........

I'm still stumbling around a little from the corneal damage of Wisconsin/Rutgers.

 

[iramsey]

Bryant is by far their best player. Going to be a good match up this Thursday. He is a good player.

LOL!!!!!!20-9 now............IU may be lucky to get to 50 mark.......

You're right. He will be launching 3s all night we have to get in his face.

 

[BoilerNGold013]

Go IU!

 

[rgarlitz]

I think Wisconsin will win comfortably, but an IU win would help Purdue in 2 ways:

1) it would pull Purdue back to within 1 in the loss column

2) I never like to go to another team's court when they're coming off a loss. Indiana will be fighting for their NCAA lives. That will make an already difficult game that much tougher.

 

[BoilerNGold013]

So I does IU actually play defense when blackmon isn't there? They look excellent today on defense. Probably should be an even game or iu ahead if iu actually hit a few open 3's.

I don't believe the hype around the Wisconsin offense... they don't have a lot of options other than get it to Happ and he will go up or kick it out and they'll throw up a three. Keep it out of the post, you win.

 

[Chauncey1986]

Well, they tried.

I believe they've already lost their NCAA life.

 

[Boilermaker]

Now we can just root hard for other teams to knock off Wiscy (and MD).

 

[Roeder]

Bryant is by far their best player. Going to be a good match up this Thursday. He is a good player.

True he is IUs best player, but they don't get him enough touches down low. If IU fed him the ball like Purdue does to Swanigan he would be an All-American too.

I hope IU's plan is to bring JBJ back and let their guards rain 3's.

 

[rgarlitz]

I don't really think so. They still have 7 games left and just showed they can play with the league leader on the road.

I do think their margin for error is razor thin, and that's something that concerns me about Thursday's game.

The Kansas and UNC wins bought a long leash with the committee.

 

[rgarlitz]

That's probably true, but both came before Christmas. The body of work since then hasn't inspired a great deal of confidence.

I wonder how the committee will factor in Indiana's very substantial injuries.
