I was hoping to get lucky and receive a point or two, but I should have known better.  Not a big fan of giving points here.  Will wait and see the o/u.  I see a low 70's to high 60's final score here.  I imagine an o/u around 129-132.  So I'm on the over up to 135ish.  Likely a small play on Ohio State.  We need this, and Butler likely won't let this one slip away, too much experience and intelligence on the court.  Look for a great match up with Lighty looking to lockdown on Gordon.  His defense is capable.  Should be fun.  Won't have time to post in the morning as I'll be headed to Cleveland to watch my Nuggets dispatch of Lebron......hopefully.  G/L to all here

Hoosiers SUP.  I hope IU's "underdog" status hold until tip-off.

I noticed that he home team has claimed victory in many of the recent meetings between these two teams; yet I also noticed that I don't give two shits about that shit.

Put the Hammer down Cornhuskers!!  . . . ya . . .

STL, I see your line of thought, but remember, all Illinois had was a warm welcome for Gordon.  Yea, hostile, but Illinois is a bad team.  They have no quality wins at home, even Penn St. went in there and got a win.  Illinois just isn't carrying the weight it has in the past right now.  Indiana has shown vulnerability (i.e. Uconn, Ill.), and after sleeping on it, I'm on the Bucks.

Sorry Buckeye, I can't pass up the 2.5 points here.
Indiana snaps a 2 game losing streak against the Bucks.
Indiana - 74                   Ohio St - 71
Hoosiers                over ???

Again, I'm going to like the over a little more than the boys covering.  Small on the Bucks and hopefully the o/u posts before we hit the road this morning.  Objective is to make it to Cle. in time to get somewhere and watch O St.    

Best of luck all

Hoosiers here. Why they are a dog here is beyond me. They are finally healthy and playing good ball. OSU is not that good in my opinion. This team has struggled against the mediocre competition lately(IOWA especially) and going against the big boys in the conference will be a tough task. Like IU to win a close game.

IU will struggle today against a proud Buckeye team.  Buckeyes by 6-8 points in this one.

ohio st. looked like a good high school team playing against penn st. two weeks ago. IU isn't exactly a top 25 team, but they are solid and they find ways to win games. The illinois game was ridiculous; indiana should have lost. However, the officiating was poor and illinois got the better of the calls.

This smells a lot like the georgetown line yesterday which smashed my face pretty hard, so i am going to play indiana, but not pound it. That's a tough thing to do when it seems like the wrong team is favored.

IU has had a couple come from behind wins, and found a way to pull it off against Illinois the other night. This wont happen tonight against Ohio State. IU has a nice road record this season but the obly game they were a dog in was southern illinois, and they have been underachieving. Ohio State covers against this number

I wanted IU at the beginning but looking at the overall feel here today something tells me the Bucks roll.  Probably wont play but look for the Over on this one.
