Go Hoosiers!
Way too high imo. Minnesota isn't good but that's a tough place to play and we haven't played a road game all season. Just one neutral site game. I'll be thrilled with just a win.
We'll get a sense early on what kind of team Minny actually has. Hard to comment too much, right now. But with this line, what the box scores say, the little I've seen of them...it would be pretty disappointing if we go up there and lose tonight. I think... it would take us being pretty flat, and shooting poorly, for that to happen.
But they are a B10 team. The Barn can be a very tough environment. I'm jacked to see this next test for CDD and the boys. They've passed basically all other tests, so far. Hopefully they're feeling good, and ready to roll tonight!
Good game to open the schedule with-a road game against one of the projected bottom feeders.
@dbmhoosier -9.5 this morning. Minnesota is banged up. They don't defend the three and have lost to some bad teams. IU will run them out of their own gym tonight.
I don't know if its too high or not. If we play well we could blow past that number.
But I'll take any win, prefer a win where I don't have to sweat the final minute all that much. 4 or 5 is good enough for me. Just win baby!
Go HOOOOSiers!

I hope so. We definitely should but if I had a dollar for every time we lost to a bad team on the road during the Crean, Archie, and Woody era's...
The Barn has always been more than your typical 3 point swing for home court advantage, even when Minny is bad. Just a weird configuration, and LOUD.
I will be happy with any win

Prediction... Reed Bailey has a big game tonight. They don't really have a lot of effective size. They've been pretty bad guarding the perimeter, thus far. I would suspect that'll be an area they overexert themselves on, especially early, and that will open lanes up for drives, dumps, and lobs to Bailey.

You said the same about Kansas St, Nostradumbass.

Home games are very different than on the road. You should know that by now. I think we win tonight. Don't be surprised if it's close though.
Over the years I've been very good at predicting IU basketball games. Why? Because I always, always bet on IU at home and always, always bet against them on the road. I went against that philosophy for KSU and now Minnesota. Might have been a mistake.
The bar is set very high for IU tonight in this game.
The Williams Arena "The Barn" record for three pointers made is 22 by Iowa.
Bombs Away!
Line has moved down 2 whole points today. Hope that doesn't mean the sharks know something.
-8.5 on MGM at -110 is worth $20. Another $10 on the over 143.5
