Was there any doubt Race would fall for Harper Jr.'s jab step and give him room for a 3? He's only their best shooter. At some point Race has got to get smarter.

This is pathetic

.

It's senior night for IU and the final home game tonight of the season as Indiana takes on Rutgers.

Both teams are sitting on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble right now, but a loss to either team will push them on the outside looking in. Very critical game -- which isn't new to anyone here.

Tip in a little over an hour.

over and under is 135- , pound the over

and people talk about how that fizzled with losing two in a roll. Look at who they lost to. I have a feeling this had Minnesota 2005 BigTen quarterfinal feeling all over it…. Lose this game, out of tournament. Win? Lets roll

IU will have some key visitors tonight for its game against Rutgers.

2023 Legacy Early College (SC) forward Coen Carr is on his official visit right now ao he will be in attendance.

2023 IU commit and Centerville (OH) guard Gabe Cupps will be there, he confirmed to TheHoosier.com.

2024 Peoria Notre Dame (IL) forward Cooper Koch will be there, he confirmed to TheHoosier.com.

2022 Centerville (OH) wing Rich Rolf will also be in attendance, TheHoosier.com has confirmed.

and what are we drinking tonight?

Anybody else looking at this game as a play-in? Last Big 10 spot goes to the winner? Sure feels that way. With that in mind, let's hope we come out and play like our NCAA tournament life is on the line, because it probably is. Rob P is back and we'll have the home crowd behind us, both will certainly help. We need X to keep playing the way he's been playing, same with Race. A big game from TJD certainly would help our cause as well. Other than the 30 he put up in the Wisconsin loss, he didn't have a great February. He needs to stay out of foul trouble and be a force on both ends of the floor.

I think we get it done tonight. It'll be a tight one, but we'll pull it out.

IU 74
Rutgers 68

Ten Ninety Juice God for me tonight.

What say you Hoosier fans?

GO HOOSIERS!!

Just saw an article about it. Don't want to see him in the Big10

kind of nervous about tonight, Woodson's chance to show were heading in a new direction, lose tonight were done

I have 4 extras for Thursday of the B10 tournament. Section 4, row 15, seats 1-4. I've got them for both sessions, so willing to sell whichever session IU is in. PM me if interested and we can discuss price.

he likes beer

Who guards Harper? He’s 6’6” and 245. With our usual starting 5 I would guess Kopp but I’d prefer Race. Tough matchup either way.

Depending on whether Rutgers tries to pack it in to stop our inside game then we need to hit shots (duh!).

Finally, I think X is playing now with supreme confidence and focus. If he stays out of foul trouble and goes for 18+ points and 6+ assists we win by 10+.

OSU anywhere from 2 to a 9----Sheesh.

Last home game of the year, and the last of the 3 must wins to go dancing. If you told me before the season our tourney would come down to a game vs Rutgers….. I’d tell you you were full of shit.

I will admit I did not see that 5 game losing streak coming, did not think we would see a streak like that again. NW should be a W, but that is not how it played out, and Woody wanted to make a statement.

We win tonight we are riding hot going into the hippo hunters den with house money. It is always fun to play with house money. How do we get that money???? ALL FREAKING Aboard! I am losing my voice tonight, I already bought my damn dancing shoes!!!!!

League champ Wisconsin was predicted to finish 10th, three places behind the Hoosiers.
Johnny Davis didn't finish in the top 12 vote getters for the predicted All-B1G team.
And unfortunately the media was, however, pretty close to predicting IU's finish in the standings.

Nebraska has figured out how to win.

whoa!

they are ballin'

hope Wisconsin is not staying at the Conrad, could be an incident

Dickenson just had a dunk and looked like he was holding in a 12-beer night, taco bell shit in as he ran up the floor

& the students rush(ed) the floor.

Purdue. Matt Painter.

Since everyone else is censored on uncle Marks lets have a real discussion on this piece of comedic gold.

@TheOriginalHappyGoat , can you keep this thread cleaned up?
