Because IU has been a juggernaut in recent years?

probably cant call them a juggernaut but they have been very competitive the last few years in basketball almost pulling some huge upsets and getting a decent amount of wins.

plus historically this is one of the best college basketball programs of all time.

[No coincidences]

Are you still mad that you buried yourself with Iowa state?

I could care less about recent years. Notice I didn't mention IU beat Evansville easily last year with half as good a team?

Was that game at Evansville?

I'm not saying Evansville is a play here, and obviously you got a great number at -3.5. I just agree with reis on the short home dogs for in-state games. It's a tough bet to get.

I know all of that, but honestly, IU's program has been a joke in recent years given their stock. I realize they were in trouble thanks to Sampson and they've had to blow it up and start from scratch, but this isn't football. You can win in basketball by signing about three cornerstone recruits. It's time for Crean to start winning.

good luck bro nice streak

[bobby heenan]

like i said...this is was a tough little team last year that burned me betting against them last year....with ranked teams like illinois......

alot of experienced/talented kids there....a good coach...and a blue chip big man to boot....they are a sleeper team i think

[mart59a]

Indiana didn't win one road game last season... 0-11. Is that correct? ...just looked at last years schedule.

[ttwarrior1]

Im 15 min from evansville, lucky they won last game, indy could win this by 20 plus

[suicidekings]

IU definitely does have more to be excited about this season than in the last couple of years, but Evansville has imported some size this season as well and will make at least part of this game competitive. I feel like if I was going to back Evansville, it would be first half. I have a hard time believing that Indiana doesn't win this game and cover the original -3.5. The second half will likely be all IU, IMO.

solid post. I think this game will be competitive in the first half, especially if Evansville is able to knock down some three balls. Evansville does a great job of moving without the ball and trying to get easy buckets. I think once IU adjusts to what they are doing they will runaway with it.

I remember this same game last year. Evansville was up 6 at half and IU outscored them by 20 something in the 2nd half.

unbettable now

great line at -3.5

[Koldazzice]

hoping ev is up at half time so i can hedge some out of this eeek I have +7 for 300 and +4 for 300 (played it +4 early) would love to work a middle if EV can come through in the 1st half - this is one I should of waited on and not jump on the +4 lol.

win some you lose some when trying to get down plays early. Sometimes they move with ya sometimes against ya

either way good luck to everyone

[AceKingHigh]

on the -4 line need this one! not feeling good about my other picks tonight :S just trolled this morning I guess :S

[Mr. Doughnut]

Like my Hoosiers tonight as well. Butler is a fraud his year,\ and should have beaten E'ville. The refs did everything in their power to give that game to the Purple Nurples.

Yeah, officials took that one over. Hope they let them play tonight.

[Mr. Doughnut]

And if it wasn't for damn weeknight tests I'd be there rooting them on

From what im hearing iu fans will outnumber Evansville by close to 3-1. Helps that this is close to Zellers backyard.

I find that very hard to believe.

[Mr. Doughnut]

Well we'll see. Never underestimate all those Indiana kids playing for Evansville. You know they all grew up wanting to play at IU. This is their shot at revenge at the big state school that didn't want them.

No doubt. This will be a battle.

[Holtgetsback]

GL all. tip off approaching

[jeffbuff73]

LOL at 3:1. Not no but **** no! The students from Evansville will outnumber IU fans like they do every home game.

[Holtgetsback]

good start for IU.

Evansville is outclassed in the post.

[GreatNorthSports]

Isn't the game at Evansville? Evansville is 4-0 in their last 4 as dogs. I like Evansville over IU here.

[jeffbuff73]

They look good, Evansville to small and don't match up well. Could be 20+ blowout....

[Holtgetsback]

[jrbacon]

2H thoughts? I am thinking Evansville -1?

Evansville is lucky to have ten points in this game.
