Who do want to win IU or NW ?

Since we still play IU and not NW then it wouldn’t be unreasonable to hope IU wins.

Either way we will have only one team 2 games back after tonight. We just need to take care of business and everything will fall into place.

IU should win this game going away. 75-60. But to answer your question, probably Northwestern.
 
A fight and both have to take a forfeit. Kidding aside, it will be interesting to see if they let NW get away with mauling Jackson-Davis like they did Edey.
I would normally root for NW but after attending last Sunday's game and seeing the crap that Collins got away with, I can't root for that. I watched parts of all 3 games last night and never saw anything even close to the "red rover arm lock" that NW used on Edey when Purdue shot free throws. Edey complained more than I have seen him. But nothing was done.

Very frustrating to rewatch....had to up my prosaic dose...😡I admire Edey in post interview for maintaining his composer

That won't happen due to the publicity of the game against Purdue and TJD will be a bit farther from the rim where refs can see more clearly...if they care to see which I think they do now...
 
Northwestern for sure. Not only is it good to see IU lose but NW has several tough games coming besides this one. They are going to drop at least one of them if not more.

Iowa
@ Illinois
@ maryland
PSU
@Rutgers
Those away games could be a tough time for NW

Based on what. IU is 3 and 4 in road games. They average -3.87 road margin and that includes a 15 point win @ I'll. Have lost by 11 Maryland, 15 @ Rutgers, 2 @ Iowa , 19 @ Penn St. Squeezed by Mich by 1, squeezed by depleted Minnesota by 4. IU is good @ home, but below average on the road!

That’s my story. Like it or not.
 
Purdue controls their own destiny regardless of this game’s outcome.
Correct, so my theory is you cheer for the team that you think is a better team to get beat. For me that is IU. NW is going to lose some other games, I'm not as sure that IU will besides Mackey. Therefore, if IU takes an L tonight it will give us more wiggle room if we need it.
 
IU is only a 2 pt favorite according to the people who know. So doubt if we get a blowout.
 
Gotta hope NW wins as they are going to lose a couple other games. If IU wins I am afraid the game at Purdue might be for Conf championship.

They are trending up, us, well, we need to win tomorrow to keep me from jumping out the GD window.

I think if IU loses tonight it is over and if Purdue wins tomorrow no matter what IU does, it is over. I just think Purdue handles Wisconsin there and OSU at home although winning it with two games to go is not that common. Lose at Maryland and things start to get tough. The NW debacle was devestating...

Exactly where it's headed , the powers to be want it so !!!! See it good for the BT ....can't help after this NW game not wondering if they are steering it that way with the refs , PU loses tomorrow, IU wins tonight , Purdue beats OSU and the IU -Purdue is for the Championship🙄 makes one ponder. Just saying ....
 
GO KITTIES!

Surprising how many Boilermakers above overlooked the fact that Northwestern led virtually the entire game at Indiana, usually by double digits, peaking at 17 in the first half and by 13 in the second half before letting off the gas to close each. Still, it was a road kill for the kitties, and they're good at home, too.

Hack a Loosier, then hack some more. Make them cry.
 
39-18. WTH…is there a meltdown on the IU boards? I can not check…have been banned! 😀

Such is life on the road…but 39-18.
 
This is only the 3rd game I've seen of NW this year, but I think I have them figured out. Illegal screens and hard fouls by the dozens so refs think there can't be on on EVERY play so they let them go. Do I have this right? I am almost hoping IU comes all the way back and wins this one to shut up their clueless fans. This isn't even basketball.
