Lost that 4 minutes by 5. Can we stretch it back to 20 and not let it get to 10?

Hope Fred draws something up here... kind of a waste of an early TO.

Wide open... that's what they're giving us. Gary has made one or two as well.

Not a great start. UGHHH

I swear.. .they better not call a flagrant here.

And have a week off right before the Big 10 tournament.

Indiana does NOT want to be here man. They packed it in that first half. Let's see if they come out and want to play.

If anyone on the committee is watching this to see if we can ACTUALLY play on the road, they are getting a good one.

Both our posts do!

NOW they call a hold off the ball LOL

Doing a great job checking out the past two minutes!

Bryce with the obvious push off man. That stinks.

It was dang close I thought too.

Masts 2nd foul was a bad call and that's hurt us. Booo. Fricking was straight up and in legal guarding position. Guy jumped into him to initiate contact.

Just doesn’t seem correct because we never get that call lol

If we get confident shooting JLaw back for the end stretch here… look out.

Wow Penn State. Tough to win in the road this year.

OT at Penn St? Better pull up the ole Fox sports App.

I think it's all about what you "hear" sometimes. And if you watch our games the announcers always start out with our road woes and how we're winless on the road in conference... yada, yada. Then later, there might be a side comment about how we won in Manhattan or are 1-0 in neutral games. That win in Manhattan was huge and is growing larger by the day. That's one we can still point to and, should we win 1-2 on the road to end the year hear, say "see, we've got 2-3 true road wins".

Rest of bubble teams in thread too.

Agreed— it’d be more for a reason to put us out than put us in though. I also have seen a lot of bracketologists say that the later in the conference tournament you get the less the committee is watching in terms of who is in and out. So that first game may be a “enough to get into Dayton” if it came to it… mostly because we didn’t lose vs won. Lets hope we just take care of business and its a moot point.

I’d be a lot more worried about this one had they beat Northwestern. They still had a path to dancing had they won that one. Beating us doesn’t do a whole lot and they only have Wisco and Michigan St left as big chances.

There’s a huge component that we don’t have a lot of info on as well. Neutral site games. We didn’t play in an early season neutral site tournament this year. In our sole neutral site game, we beat the brakes off of the worst team in the worst P5 conference so there isn’t much to go off of. We’re undefeated away from home against teams not in the B1G. We very much control our own destiny. Win 4 of these next 5 and we’re in. However, there could arise a situation where we need to perform well in the B1G tournament first game we play.

Yep— can’t get to inside the hall unfortunately so we’re left with the leftovers.
