    Locks only happen in hindsight.

    IU wins guaranteed. Now by the time it tips off, will the cover the spread is another question. Id bet ALOT if I got 5 when it opened though

    Every game in Bloomington is 5 on 8 so you gotta like your chances.

    This is how it is EVERYWHERE in the Big 10. The Big 10 refs blow. IU doesnt lose at home though

    Well based on the statistics, Indiana gets the biggest home court advantage in the big ten based on fouls at home vs fouls on the road. That honor usually goes to Wisconsin but Bloomington bumped up their pay this year to the officials.

    Are you still sour about the beating we gave you guys earlier in the year? Sure sounds like it. Your basically trying to argue IU is only unbeatable at home due to foul calls in their favor and thats one of the worst arguments you can make.

    Purdue has trouble matching up against physical teams

    It is pretty true though. It isn't a coincidence that Indiana is elite at home and mediocre on the road. You lost to Nebraska on the road for crying out loud and beat Kentucky at home. Indiana has received more home cooking than any team in the nation and the foul differentials back that up. Hope you can bring Bloomington to the dance or you'll be knocked out first round.

    Indiana isnt going anywhere in the first round. Maybe not even 2nd round. Dont think they go past Sweet 16 though

    This Illiwhini fan still bitching? Wow. Mommy weening you off the teat?

    I am jealous in one aspect though. Will be sad to see the IU seniors play their final game at home tonight. Meanwhile, your guys will get a game or two at home in the NIT.

    Careful taking IU here. Purdue is actually playing very well lately- Hummel has found his groove and they can score with Indiana. This team nearly beat OSU in Columbus 2 weeks ago.
    The over seems like a decent play.

    I do understand IU shot something like 40 freebies against Illinois, but there's actually a way to fix this...DON'T FOUL. UI hacks almost as much as Purdue does on defense.

    Lol at Indiana fans talking shit. We've discussed this. Illinois and Indiana are miles apart the last two decades, guess who is well ahead? You have to go back to pre 3 point shot basketball to find when Indiana was better than Illinois consistently.

    I dont care wtf those analysts said. IU is not going to lose at home especially a Rivalry game. PickWinnerAllDay you are just a moron if you think Illinois is the better basketball school overall. Enjoy looking at IUs 5 banners on the wall tonight if you watch the game. The last 20 years dont really mean anything since Illinois hasnt won shit in those years.

    Depends on the next coaching hire. I'll take Shaka smart over that clown cream in his pants.
