Seems a bit low, but NW has been a nemesis.  I like IU 80-68

Their roster is godawful.  I expect our team and fans to be bored.....so a slow, disjointed start.  They are a poor rebounding team, so we match-up well there.  Their only redeeming value is that they have few TOs.  We'll pull away slowly in the 2nd half and win by 82-66.

Looked up Singleton, the kid from Indiana.  He's shooting 8/48 on 3s.  Sorry we missed out on him.  He would have fit right in.

This game should not even be close they are awful. Michigan State will be the big one.

I bet often but rarely wager much. I'm making an exception for this game; IU -8.5 is just too alluring to pass up. If I lose, I have enough blankets to keep me warm while I'm homeless.

They're terrible but have won 6/7 against us I believe.  Thank you Bigfoot.

I think we win easily tonight.

Its strange how much IU's and my son's HS schedules have overlapped.  I'll be missing yet another IU game tonight.  I would expect IU to cover at -8.5.  But I also did recently watch a NW team take Michigan to late in the 2nd half before Michigan took the lead and put the game away.  But I see this NW team as one that IU should be able to function easily against.  If we can move around easily with and without the ball, on offense, I think we'll probably run them out of the gym, tonight.  Good night for Dorn to get back on track.  Might be a 30+ burger night for Wilkerson, too.

That was a home game though. I have a hard time seeing this game being within 20 points.

Nice bet, dumb f---.

Sometimes it's necessary to call yourself out.

Wrong! We kept it within 4!
