The last time we danced, we won a huge road game at a historical power.  We went on to win 5 of our last 6 and punched our ticket to dance before the Big 10 tournament.  That game was against Michigan St..

 

Not apples to apples but feels relatively similar.

We did win in Bloomington that year, also.

When it comes to Indiana music, they're star heavy, depth light.  There will be few people here who recognize this group/song, I know who you are.      Mason Proffit.

 

This song really pertains to what's going on today.  GBR!

This losing on the road in the B1G nonsense stops Wednesday.  GBR!

The exorcism of the road loss demon starts tonight.

Born in Kentucky, Bill Monroe moved to Indiana in 1929 at the age of 18. 

 

Today, the Bill Monroe Beanblossom Bluegrass Festival is held every summer in Morgantown, Indiana.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the father of Bluegrass, the original Bill Monroe!

No more Road losses.

Not Indiana Related, just leaves me on a Husker HIGH!

From England not Indiana.  We need to play more teams from England.

Scatman Crothers is from Terre Haute, IN.

Analytics would indicate that Indiana is better when Xavier Johnson doesn't play.  He's currently out with an elbow injury.

Challenge Accepted, but I'm a-comin' in thru the back door on this one. 

 

Two things: One of the cooler bands out there with a song about Indianapolis. Second, Hennemann is one of the few professionals that played the Peavy t-60 solid body, my first "decent" guitar I got in 1978.

winning this puts our tourney odds at like 90% in my opinion. 

 

this is basically indiana's last chance to turn their season around, so i'd expect a strong effort from them.

That feels a little high to me, but I could definitely get an on board with an 80% probability with a win. It's there for the taking.

Surprised he hasn't shown up yet.

They looked a little deflated at the end of that NW game.  If we can come out and jump on them right away, they might pack it in.

That seems strange.  But hey, we can win with or without him.

The two biggest reason I can see are

- More minutes from Gabe Cupps who makes Benny Parker look like Terran Petteway in terms of shots taken.  Thus, more shot for the rest of the offense but ones that aren't taken by Johnson who isn't a particularly good shooter

- Kel'el Ware missed two games that Johnson played in.  Ware is the most efficient offensive player on the team

[KZRider]

This is a sort of creepy song that includes Indiana in the lyrics.

Bart Torvik puts us at 82.2 percent with a victory against Indiana and 61.8 percent with a loss.

Had to be done. Sorry.

That's about where I thought the line would be - time to get a outright road win as a 'dog

I saw Josiah Allick at Muschachos today at lunch.  They didn't have his food ready and he was heading to the airport so he might be hungry.  I was too star struck to ask for a selfie and he was in a hurry.  I did end up getting his NIL special which was a burger with BBQ on it.  It was good but I think I like their burritos better.
