What does your gut say the final score will be against IU?
- Thread starter Woodsa
- Start date
It’s always closer than I think it should have been lately (or more recently we lose because some Hoosier is playing out of their mind) + it’s in the Hall of Dusty Banners, so I’m going to say 5.
Depends on our guards. Last year Smith struggled to score with 10 points in 74 combined minutes. When we have multiple guards scoring we win easily but this is in the "Hall of calls". Probably closer than we want to believe. I just want a W.
Have you guys watched this rivalry over the past 40 years? An underdog outmatched at home? This is their Superbowl. We're in trouble.
Purdue 64
Indinia 76
From there we go on to win the B1G Championship, but this is exactly he type of game that scares me. If it were at Mackey, we'd win by 30... that's just how this works. I hope and pray I can log back on tonight and say how wrong I was.

Buzz kill and yes, I have been watching for 40 years.
It's called an "anti-jinx". I am doing my part!
Going to be a game of runs where we allow the crowd to get into it. I think we end up winning going away as we ice the game from the line.

Side note - I have stumbled across a few threads on Twitter with IU fans discussing storming the court or not. It is actually kind of funny that some are self-aware enough to realize how cringe their program has become that storming the court against Purdue is their Super Bowl.
My concern is that in our two true road B10 games, Purdue has failed to show up. This environment will be very different than NU or UN.
If Purdue can get hot from 3, take the crowd out of it, I see a 9-11 pt win.
80-71 Boilers

No idea but I'd guess somewhere between a 6-10 pt win if Purdue wins which is my expectation and a 1-2 pt squeaker if the upset happens.
I just don't think IU has the formula I think is required to poke at our weakness but it is their super bowl because they aren't likely to play a meaningful game again this year.

Maryland was a fairly easy game, although they didn't really show up. But fair point
I just feel like one random IU player goes off and keeps it too close for comfort. Game decided in final minutes
I would say that Northwestern - Welsh Ryan was jumping for our game. We started hot and took them out of it but allowed them to dictate the second half and take over the game.
Agree we need to come out and punch them hard and don’t let up. I want it to be hard to understand who the fans are booing, us or their own team.
