    I see a 1 seed in PSU's future.

    #1 overall, probably.

    and reps.

    Hoosiers escape, but beat Michigan 73-71. Michigan kept clawing and eventually turned a 15 pt deficit into a tight game, but never got over the hump for the lead.
  • wildcats20
    I think Michigan is slowly going to fade away. They really only have 2 options when it comes to scoring.

    They play such an odd style (The Beilin way) which makes it tough for teams. I think they make the tourney, but as like an 8/9 seed. A few upsets (OSU and MSU) and solid wins (when IU returns to AA) and they can work their way up. But as of now, with the way things seem to be going, if they lose/win the games they should itll take them on track to an 8/9 seed.

    As it's been said about OSU, I'll be interested to see how IU performs on the road. If I'm correct, the only decent road win is against NC State, right? Personally, I'll feel a lot better about the Buckeyes when they start winning B1G road games. I've gotta' believe you feel the same way about the Hoosiers, Laley.

    Obviously the road is a tough place to play and the true measuring stick of teams. I want to see them do well on the road in B1G play, but the NCST win was big. Better than most road wins at this point. I was also pleased with their win @Evansville. I still think they may win their league Tourney if Creighton is knocked off by someone (though they have looked pedestrian this year), and it was the opening of a new stadium. I expected a win, but Evansville and their fans were up for the game. IU won by nearly 25 and it wasnt even that close.

    But yes, a win at PSU Sunday would go a long way towards me being more optimistic than pessimistic (even though PSU is a bottom team this year).

    Everyone's expectations and thoughts on Purdue>>>>>>>>>>Purdue

    lol. Solid team, but maybe a team with the most flaws in the Big Ten. They have enough talent to mask those flaws and finish middle of the pack, but those flaws also hinder the talent and means they will be way worse than people expect.

    Spoken like a true Hoosier @ Purdue--LOL....btw, as an IU alum, who do you dislike more, Purdue or Illinois?

    1. Purdue
    2. Kentucky
    3. Illinois
    4. Louisville
    5. Opponent du jour...

    ...and no one is close to Purdue. By far the biggest/most hated rival.

    0/10 buford? seriously?
  • centralbucksfan
    OSU with a GREAT start to the second half. Up 20. Sully looks to have that bounce back in his step now. Looks as healthy as he has been all year.

    Lol I can't stop watching it. What an idiot.
  • centralbucksfan
    Big10 officiating is pitiful right now. These phantom fouls are ridiculous. The timeout call OSU got was a bad call. OSU never had possession. Just aweful.

    haha I'm very impressed by the speed in which that dude's face made it on here.

    Lol I just rewound it then used slow motion to
    Take some pics. Lol. What an idiot.
  • centralbucksfan
    Iowa must be watching Duke with all these ridiculous FLOPS against Sully. Its becoming comical.
  • Midstate01
    Loved the ref motioning for brommer or whatever his name is to get up that one time he flopped.
