Official Prediction Thread: IU vs. St. Mary's...

and what are we drinking tonight?

It wasn't pretty, but we won an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since beating Kentucky in 2016. Most of our starters had terrible games and we still won by 8. I think that bodes well for a better outing from at least Xavier and Race. Would be nice to get more out of either Stewart or Kopp. Maybe a couple of 3s?

I haven't watched St. Mary's play this year. By all accounts they play at a snail's pace, which I think will help us. After playing 3 games in the BTT, then playing on Tuesday night, and flying across the country, a high possession game likely wouldn't work out well for us. If we can play within their pace and pick our spots to get out in transition, I think we'll have a good shot.

St. Mary's is a good team, but I like our chances.

IU 65
St. Mary's 61

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for me tonight (don't have any Guinness in the house).

What say you Hoosier fans?

Star reporter asked Coach why he keeps starting Kopp/Stewart given they’re not hitting shots. May I say I’m glad someone finally asked?

Any how Coach said they’re Seniors and I respect their experience. They haven’t shot the ball really well but I’m going to keep riding them until they do. The guys coming off the bench will have to fill in around them.

Seriously? We’re in one and done mode. Odds are great they’re not going to suddenly shoot lights out tonight. And does this mean that every time someone transfers in they start because they have “experience”? Sorry none of this makes sense to me.
