It’ll be tied at the end of the game. But they’ll call a foul on an IU fan in the stands for spilling their drink. Brad Davison shoots 2 Free Throws. Wisconsin wins.
IU-Wisconsin prediction.
- Thread starter fkfootball
- Start date
I'm not ready yet to put numbers on the board...I'll check back on this one tomorrow.
Would not be surprised to see TJD sitting on the bench with 2 fouls before first TV timeout.

It will either be a three point game either way or Wisconson by like 22. Those are the only two options I see.
70-54 Wisky. I’m confident in Woodson’s ability to make huge improvements to our team and culture (have already seen glimpses of it), but we just aren’t there yet to consistently run with the big boys and get these monkeys off our backs that we’ve accumulated for the past 20 years.
Ok well I will go with Wisc by 22 in that case. If the game was played in February it may be different but we are just turning the ball over at too high a level to stay close to a team like Wisky.
I've waited for a sign. 68-62 IU.
At one point in the game, CMW puts 2 defenders on the in bounds pass. Durr plays 9 min.

Geez..
I'm not a over the top.. We win prediction everytime..
But that's a bad loss if it's that..
This isnt Frank The Tank and Decker Badger team..
Davis can ball..
We're better than that...imo..
We should've beaten Syracuse too but those of us who really know college basketball knew that we'd probably lose. We have almost no chance tomorrow imo. Hope I'm wrong but I expect Gard to put on a clinic.
It’s deer-in-the-headlights for the boys playing on the road at Kohl Center.
Wisky 81
IU 65
That might even be generous. Not enough depth or valuing each possession at this stage.

Mostly agree with this but I think we win by double digits. Wisconsin is simply not good this year. IU wins, pulling away late, 78-62
Yeah, we've heard that before. Two years ago, coming off losses to SMC, RICH, UNM and NCST, and we had just come off browbeating a really good FLST team.
And WISC cleaned our clocks. And for good measure, they beat us in Bloomington too after we gagged on a nine-point second-half lead (which spawned the whole "Sesame Street" thing).
If that team two years ago who was much worse coming in could clean our clocks, this team who's a lot better (and oh, who beat HOU--very much a title contender--on a neutral floor) coming in could make it hurt even more.
WISC 72, IND 47. We turn the ball over 21 times and hit less than 65% at the line (if we even get that many FT attempts).
Hate to be optimistic but tonight I think those still skeptical of CMW become believers. He had me at “bench the starters” last Saturday. Did we beat the Cornholers as bad as UM? No. But what was the score for the last 30 minutes?
Amazing how Bucky went for also-rans to Natty title contenders in our minds in the course of a few weeks.
IU 68
Bucky 66
Ted Valentine doesn't get within 1000 miles of Madison tonight

I'll go with 27....slow slide started after '94/Bailey senior season.
This will be our first (true) road game since pre Covid. The Syracuse game had an environment much closer to a neutral site (IMHO). It is more than just the crowd noise, it’s the officiating.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see us in early foul trouble especially at the guard position. The good news is I expect TJD to be treated as an AA from the officials this year, so I don’t envision him being in foul trouble.
my prediction:
63-55 Badgers. Incidentally I predicted 63-55 Hoosiers versus neb.
a couple of other thoughts:
it’s true that defense travels, but should also mention that IU is a much more dangerous 3 pt shooting team than the last several years. Perhaps that gets neutralized by a well coached, smart team like the Badgers (especially with our TO issues). However, it’s certainly possible IU comes out on fire and jumps to a double digit lead. That would be enough as I don’t expect this to be a high scoring game. I’m not banking on that, though.
this will be a tough game for IU. Hope I’m wrong, but see the Badgers pulling it out (IU ends up with the better conference record though).

Fauci knew what?
You know what? Forget it. It's only 9 AM and I've already heard enough conspiracies for one day.
Not happening. This is a different program. Enjoy the ride.
For betting I like the 4.5 get for the Hoosiers.
TO's not an IU problem tonight. If fouls aren't either IU 71-Wis 67. Go Hoosiers!

Hey guys, I saw this quote online:
“I see a well put together basketball team,” Indiana coach Mike Woodson said on his radio show Monday night. “I mean, they are well coached, they play well on the offensive end and they’ve got a good defensive system. Sometimes they will mix some zone, but very rarely will they play zone. They’ll get behind, and they will press some fullcourt.”
Mind blown. That's a horrifically bad scouting report. UW may have played one possession of zone in the last 25 years, so, I guess he's technically correct that it is very rare. Also, I have seen UW press full court maybe 4-5 times in the same time period, only in desperation mode at the end of a game. As a badger fan, I hope IU has its scout team zoning and pressing...

Indiana hasn't won against Wisconsin in Madison since 1998. That means no current player on Indiana's roster was alive for that moment.
Since then, the Hoosiers have lost 19 in a row on the road to Wisconsin.
I do not care what anyone says if we win it is a massive upset and I mean massive. 23 years is a very long time.
