vs Wisconsin 2/26

Do we have anything for Wiscy tomorrow night?

I think the effort carries through. Still a lot to play for as long as not mathematically eliminated. A 9p start on 2nd Tue night in a row for home games with current slide may be interesting crowd

It will be a great game to watch for anyone that wants to see a well executed offense and defense without turnovers and also a team that doesnt beat themselves. Unfortunately, that team will be in red. We will need to play hard, shoot well, and play solid defense in order to win. I predict that we play extremely hard, keep it close but cant knock down shots when we need it. We probably even get a little screwed on calls.

I’m sure we will have “effort” lmao

Another loss and then Jughead will proclaim he's happy with how the team competed and played hard smh!

The line: IU +2.5 O/U 123.5 These odds guys are good.

The only thing that may save us is that Wisconsin is not an offensive machine, and they have played down to the level of their competition in recent weeks and have won several games scoring less than 60 points. Of course this means that in order to win we need to find a way to score more than 60 points against a good defensive team. I can't see it happening unless we really are hot from the field.

Good call, Offense has been challenging. Prone to dryspells. One correction we have only scored in the 50's twice this year, both against Minny!! 59 and 56. Oh and in the early season loss to Virginia.46

Davis being healthy has helped the team more than anything. We beat MSU mostly without Morgan and with Davis playing his first game after an injury. I believe he is the key against Wisky and down the stretch. Plus, Morgan is much better off with Davis in the game than Smith.

We have a chance if we continue to defend like we have done since the Minnesota game. We have to put the ball in the basket. I expect a physical game with a low score. It is an opportunity for us to win.

IU is 5-11 against the spread vs B1G. Wiscy allows opponents an average of 61.3 ppg, 10th in NCAA. IU is 0-8 this year when we score 63 points or less and 13-6 when we score 64 points or more.
